I just posted my next couple of moves to my oponent 🙄. Ok, so it's my own fault and it was only opening stuff that he knows anyway but it could have been worse.
A while back I can remember someone else did this to me too.
I also find in the forums some discussion of this problem.
Can we please move the "notepad" hyperlink down to the bottom of the options so it is not next to "message your oponent" ?
This has happened to me once or twice, but also I've typed a training instruction into the notebook instead of the message box, leaving my poor beginner without any clues on what to look for ....
Either separate the position of the two text boxes, or make their appearance noticeably different, whichever is easier. Please do it soon!!!!

Another thing; make note texts visually as noteworthy as the message texts written by an opponent. I always overlook the note text when it is placed on the right side in a little unnoticable box thingy. To potentially prevent this just a bit, I have to type something like:
=====//////////%%%%%%@@@@@€€€€€€ Noteworthy text here ()()()()()()()()??????*********_______________________
so that it somehow catches my eye due to characters that are distinctively and repeatedly used, preventing the text from being just a blur in my parafoveal view.
How about just colouring the notebook text-box? If that's possible, that is ... notebook would stand out when viewing game, and impossible to confuse the boxes.

Cheers.
LOL Simon rec'd the post its funny you never messaged me your moves i wish you did though 🙂
I stopped using the notepad long ago because of this - that's why not too many secret plans got messaged, but I started using it again as game load increased.
It looks like an easy fix so I hope Russ is watching...
