I just noticed the other day, that the multiplayer settings has a system messages field. At least that's how I would call it. Just have a look at the picture:

System Message

The English message would be:

"The selected file can not be found. If it is not automatically transferred to you, please write to the host about this problem."

The German:

"Die ausgewählte Datei kann nicht gefunden werden. Falls sie nicht automatisch zu dir übertragen wird, mache bitte den Host auf das Problem aufmerksam."

These strings are way to long for this small text-area. I would propose to get rid of the text-area on the right hand side and move such texts to the chat window.

Here is a mock-up:

System Message

Any thoughts on this?

I think that it is good idea. Since some messages are already sent to the chat, it should not harm anything.
