Conversation view

The conversation view is a separate window that isolates one chatter's conversation from the noise of a busy chat. It is available in both the Live Stream Monitor and the Replay window.

The conversation window showing a chatter's own messages alongside the replies and @mentions aimed at them, in Chatter, Timestamp and Message columns.
The conversation view, opened by clicking a username in the Live Stream Monitor.

Opening it

Click any username in the message grid of either window. A conversation window opens for that chatter, centred over the window you opened it from.

You keep one conversation window open at a time, so picking a new chatter simply replaces the current thread.

What it shows

The thread contains exactly two kinds of message, interleaved in chronological order:

A message that only mentions other people is not included — the thread stays focused on the selected chatter rather than expanding into unrelated conversations.

Each row carries the sender's chat colour as a small swatch on the Chatter column, and emotes and emoji render inline, exactly as they do in the main message grid. Replies from everyone else are shown in lighter grey text, so messages sent by the viewed chatter stand out clearly.

Columns are Chatter → Timestamp → Message, with the message text word-wrapped.

Replies and mentions

The conversation view decides what belongs in a thread purely from the @mentions in each message, so it behaves the same whatever platform or log you're looking at:

Replies are captured live

Reply information is only available while you're capturing a stream live. If you re-import a saved log later, the conversation view uses whatever @mentions are already written in the messages — it can't recover reply connections that weren't recorded as text.

Live and replay behaviour

Copying messages

Select one or more rows and right-click to Copy to Clipboard. Each selected message is copied on its own line, in chronological order, in the format [HH:MM:SS] username: message — the same format used by the other message grids. Use Ctrl-click or Shift-click to select several messages before copying.

Display limit

The view keeps the most recent 200 thread messages on screen. When a chatter is active enough to exceed that, the oldest rows scroll off the top and the count in the bottom-left corner reads "200 of N messages", where N is the true number of messages in the thread. Turn Auto-scroll off (bottom-right) if you want to read back through the thread without it jumping to the newest message.
