Window options

Open private messages in their own window

If you disable this option, a private message from a user appears as a status line in main chat instead of in a separate window. This could cause you to miss some messages if you don't check the chat regularly. You may not care much for private messages from other users. Ignoring them however, not only lessens the (user-friendly) Direct Connect experience, but is not always wise because failing to reply to a message from an Operator can get you kicked or, in the worst case, permanently banned from that hub.

Open private messages from bots in their own window

Enable this if you want messages from hub bots in their own window. When disabled they get sent as a status message in main chat instead which is less annoying yet still informative. This option only matters if you're not ignoring private messages from bots.
