Overlapping rider messages

During groups rides, for example, when there may be many riders chatting and responding to each other, it can be very difficult to read their messages. This is because they pile up on top of each other if the rider is not in the rider list on the right of the main screen (on PC).

Messages from riders ahead or behind constantly block each other in the upper right hand part of the screen near the top of the riders list. Surely messages can be placed dynamically to ensure that they never overlap. This gives you a chance to read all messages without having to constantly look at the Companion app.

While viewing message on the Companion app is easy enough, it can be a pain if you are also using other functions of the app at that time. For PC and Mac users who have a large main screen, why not make better use of it rather than forcing them to read messages from the app to ensure they don’t miss anything.

This is still an issue 3 years on. I came here to report this bug but found this identical ticket from 2018.

Rather than stacking the messages one above the other, they simply overlap each other. When combined with the fact each message is only onscreen for a few seconds, this means that you can miss several messages.

The messages that annoy me are the ride leader messages on events right on the exact middle of the screen and blocking the view of where other riders are.

Should be moved upwards so the view isn’t blocked by:

“Wreck a band name by changing one letter”

Or other such crucial messages. :wink:
