And it follows the window around when it gets resized, which is great  _________________

| Nope it didn't. It disappeared from the screen after scrolling. I thought it was kind of annoying because I'd miss them every once in a while when it'd pop up while scrolling, but I thought that was by-design :S |

You should make the notification disappear when the sax text input is focused so that it doesn't just stay there while they are responding indefinitely  _________________

I think it's better to wait for the user to scroll slightly to throw away highlights than to prematurely discard highlights. Do you disagree?
Deep, I haven't previously seen that bug. Can you replicate it? _________________

I think the highlight should stay when you are in the box. I use it when I am replying so I know what to respond to. Might just be me, though. _________________ http://tanner.myserverathome.com

Since we can assume that SAX is in view when they focus on saxtalk, there's no need to notify them, is there? The notifications are great, even with SAX in view. But the idea is to draw the user's attention to SAX, and that is already accomplished if they have focused saxtalk.
The notification window should disappear and neither should be displayed or appended until it is unfocused again. If their attention is on SAX, they'll easily notice when their name is mentioned with the black background behind the message, so theres no need for the notification. The notification can sometimes get in the way unless you scroll because it'll often get piled up.
Sometimes notifications don't disappear after 7 seconds, btw. (bug?) |

If someone clicks on SAX, starts typing, and walks away from an hour, then that user will miss every highlight that he or she received during that time. Notifications disappear when both at least 7 seconds have passed and you scroll. _________________

Same same. I see what you're saying, Kerm. That's a good compromise  |

Yep, I can. I'm using one of those trackpad scrollers though (kind of like a mouse wheel but built into the side of a trackpad), so that might be why.
EDIT: Actually it doesn't seem like it matters. It stays up even if I scroll with my mouse wheel or the up/down keys.
EDIT2: And another suggestion: Making URLs posted with [url] look the same as URLs posted from IRC. _________________

Don't think it's chrome, as I'm using a variant of it. Albeit, it's a variant and by the sound of it a different OS. _________________
