Questions about chating while loading and buff timers

[beano]

Is it possible to mod the zoning xml so that is displays the mainchat window while zoning? (Not sure if it is possible or not, but I know you can recieve tells and stuff while zoning). Tried this myself, but I'm a noob and ended up screwing up my normal UI, and when I zoned, the chat window came up, but with no text and when I clicked on it to try to move it... CTD If anyone could do this, it would be great. Also, is there a way to display the time remaining on the buff windows and maintaining window.
Thanks to anyone that can answer these questions, and even more thanks to someone that could possibly do one, or both, of these things.
