wow, what a simple fix to a problem I've had for about a year now. it worked, thanks

Question:
I've changed my chatbox settings to get a tall shape that sits in the top left corner, extending halfway down the screen, seen here

But, every time I join a server, change loadout, or die, the chatbox resets to its default position, while retaining the shape I've set. If I use hud_reloadscheme, it goes back to the position I set, until I die, etc. hud_reloadscheme lags the game for a few seconds, only working half the time, and requires you to be alive or else it resets back upon respawn.

Is there some way to keep the chatbox from resetting to its default position? I might have missed a value when changing where it's positioned, maybe there's a default that it switches to whenever something happens like me dying. Is there a way to change this?
