that's cos you probably have so many online contacts
. i only usually have 3 at a time online on the account i want to use this on. and toasts are very inobtrusive. for me at least. maybe cos of my high resolution. but they don't get in the way, whereas a window in the middle of my screen would. and toasts can be right clicked away easily.
i edited my earlier post, SpunkyLoveMuff, by the way. Im guessing being able to open a chat by clicking one online contacts name isnt possible, right?
