* Chat can now show multiple channels at once in stacked, vertical panels – each panel has its own header, scrollable history, and its own input box (only one input for an active chat – click anywhere on another chat to reveal the input for it).
* Turn channels on or off from the channel selector dropdown (hover the channel header to open it) – each channel gets its own panel when enabled.
* Drag the divider between panels to resize them. Sizes will reset if you toggle panels on/off or refresh the page.
* Use the ▲/▼ buttons on a panel header to reorder panels.
* Toggle message times on or off with the 🕐 Timestamps option in the channel dropdown or in Settings. When on, each chat message shows message time at the start. Timestamps are intentionally hidden in the Console channel.
