my idea/ sugestion is to add a "rubberband" slider next to the regular scroll bar of the chat history that would work similar to the "auto-scroll" function on many webbrowsers, untouched, it would be in the middle, if the user click and drag it it would scrol the chat history in the direction it is dragged and with velocity proportional to how far form the original position it currently is, when the user realeases it it returns to the middle. the purpose of this would be to allow more precision on scrolling back on long chat histories which happens when a user is loged in for a longer time specially in the more crowded or chat intensive areas. with only the current scroll bar when the chat history gets long enough even moving the scrollbar for just one pixel scrolls back way too much with not much precision.
