-Do you find yourself bothered by too many notifications? Do you want to hide instant message popups without having to go into [[How_do_I_get_some_privacy_in_Second_Life%3F|Busy mode]]? There's a preference that can help with that.
-# Select '''Me''' menu > '''Preferences'''.
-# In the {{win|Preferences}} window, click '''Chat tab'''.
-# Under "Enable incoming chat popups:", uncheck '''Group Chats''' and/or '''IM Chats'''.
-#: [[File:Enable_incoming_chat_popups.png]]
-# You can also change:
-#* '''Nearby chat toasts life time:''' - How long nearby chat messages appear with a relatively dark background. The default is <code>23</code>.
-#* '''Nearby chat toasts fading time:''' - After the '''Nearby chat toasts life time''' has expired, how long nearby chat messages appear with a faded background. The default is <code>3</code>.
-#* If you're a quick reader, set these lower so they appear onscreen for a shorter time.
-# Click '''OK''' to confirm your changes.
-Now, if disabled, '''Group Chats''' and/or '''IM Chats''' only appear as notifications in your bottom bar, and you won't see the actual text messages take up screen space. To test, ask a friend to IM you!
-== What does "toasts" mean? ==
-"[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toast_(computing) Toast]", formerly used internally at Linden Lab but introduced to the public in Viewer 2.4, is a cute, geeky word for "notification", so-called because notifications in some apps look like toast sliding up and out of a toaster. In the Viewer, "toasts" appear without sliding, but the spirit is intended the same.
