- extend Game Chat entry box and alter formating of game chat box
Specifics:
- the Game Chat entry box occupies 56 characters before scrolling, but the Game Chat section has room for about 123 characters before txt moves onto the next line.
I personally find it easier to read if the text is in a block going down rather then wrapping and appearing under the players name. So would it be possible to :
a) Extend the Game Chat entry box and
b) If chat is longer than 123 characters, start second line from the same indented position as the previous line.
an example of what i mean is to change:
2008-04-19 01:16:18 - NAME: exactly what i was gonna say. Don't ever over attack or leave your self over exposed. Take it slow, if you lose bad, slow down and wait till next turn to make another offensive guys.
2008-04-19 01:17:01 - NAME: yep, i'll take south america, or at least southern south america and keep a foothold in africa as long as i can. I can't spare troops anywhere else though-though i gave u guys austrailia i think.

This will improve the following aspects of the site:
- it will improve the readability of game chat
Even if the formatting change is not possible (it may be an individuals screen size issue) this should not prevent the Game Chat entry box being extended to equal the width of the map
