"Confessional" chat distinction

This request is to distinguish the spectator chat whispers from a player from post-game chat.
In other words, if I use:
/w I think this move is good

It should be marked uniquely (by colour?) in chat so as to distinguish it from post-game analysis chat. Move count as a timestamp would be nice too :P

Thank you!
Move count as a timestamp sounds really nice at first, especially in my league where often a lot of folks are watching. The problem is that if you are talking about future or past moves it can be really confusing. Maybe have an option to quickly toggle move stamps on and off?

I'm not totally sure what the point of the distinction you're suggesting is, but it also wouldn't hurt I'm sure.
With that Chrome extension comments during the game will be prefixed with (n) and after you finish the game and switch to spectator's chat, your new comments will not be prefixed. It wasn't deliberately coded like that, but it works that way as the input box gets a new HTML id so the extension stops adding the move number.
It is a great extension, I use it and love it. Excellent work timothyha!
