Hi,
When I join a table, the recipient I was last talking to is still in the chat window, so my next chat will go to them. If I cannot chat to them because they are at the table I just joined and are my partner, it wastes my time to type out a message. If my partner (or anyone) just became unchattable, can that be cleared to a default (the table e.g.).

Thanks,
Dan

More generally, when I chat someone to whom I can't chat for whatever reason, I lose the chat line. It would be nice if the chat line was somehow saved, for example by the appearance of a line like

-> [failed message]: Thanks for game p, have a nice weekend

Then at least I could copy the chat message and send it to the correct destination. For example, sometimes I want to send it as table chat if chat to the individual player is not permitted.

Changing the default destination to table is dangerous, say if I am saying something confidential I don't want it to go to table chat unless I make a conscious choice of saying it to the table.

FYI, suggestions for the web client belong in the Suggestions for the Software forum.

Good point, moved.
