I just wanted to drop off a quick quality-of-life suggestion for the chat UI.
Instead of prefixing a message with “[Shout]” or “[Groups]” or whatnot, would it be possible to use the message type icon as a prefix instead? (You know, the icons like the yellow chat bubble, orange megaphone, and so on.) That way, we can get more text in the initial line of a message.
Also, using an icon would help make multiline messages easier to scan because the icon stands out more. (That’s one thing I miss about the old chat UI with the bubbles: the bubbles made whole messages easier to distinguish.) Or, maybe indent subsequent lines of a message just a little bit.
The only thing is that you might need to add a new icon for system messages.
Also, I’m sure IMC is well aware, but the text after multiple item links loses some of the font effects (like the black outline stroke).
Here’s a modified screen grab to show what I mean:
