When a member posts in their Clan Chat, and then posts another message before anyone else does, the chatbox doesn't have a blank line or anything that clearly shows that they are actually separate messages, or "posts". All chats, whether it's phone texts or messages on FB, have a clear separation of each post for a reason: it needs to be clear that consecutive posts by the same person are actually separate messages.
[b]Examples of why this is important:[/b]
* It clearly shows that the bottom message is a new one, and not the same message readers have already seen.
* It clearly shows that the new message may have been posted on another day and might have a different relevance.
* It can separate two completely different thoughts, or points.
* It offers a new "paragraph", instead of a run-on sentence.
I'm sure there are a ton of other reasons, which is why all other chatboxes separate them!
There needs to be at least a blank space between each message, as the app has when a member posts after another member, if not have the users name next to each separate chat as many chatboxes have, which even more clearly delineates that each message is a separate entity.
This pertains to the chatbox on the website as well, as it behaves this way on both the Companion App and the website Clan Chat.
