I strongly believe the chatbox's "above" setting to display chats above someone's head should display instead of below it.

In its current state, the chatbox can be completely occluded by tall hair, big ears, hats, or even the user's own head if the avatar is tall enough.

If the chatbox was located above the user's nameplate rather than below, it would immensely reduce the situations where chat messages are difficult to read without space-dragging down so people can read it.

To clarify before anyone suggests using the "in front" option to mitigate this, I strongly disagree. It is not a good solution. It's arguably more difficult to read in even more situations, and I'd honestly prefer if it weren't even an option. I run into people who have it set to "in front" because they think it makes more sense but can't read what I'm saying because I'm sitting/lying down or in a small/wide avatar.
