BWM Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Does anyone know if it's possible to remove the mobile chat bubble that bobs about annoyingly on the screen? I find it very distracting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mross Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 I found the setting for hiding it but it does not seem to 'stick'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you'll be delighted to hear I don't find it annoying at all!! It doesn't bob about like the OP's, mine stays firmly anchored in the bottom right hand corner.

RichM Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 While fixing an issue a couple of days ago it will have caused it to "unstick" for those who had hidden it - sorry. It shouldn't be a recurring issue though but let me know if you continue to have problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbo Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 For info; I've disabled the bubble permanently on my iphone/ipad. I use 1blocker and have entered a custom URL to block "http://canalworld.net/forums/arrowchat/*" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceinSanity Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 I've killed it twice in Messenger settings, but the bugger keeps coming back. Hang on, "Messenger"– isn't that a Micros**t app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Marshall Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 A tab "mobile chat" has suddenly arrived at the bottom of my screen. I turn it off but next time I log on, its there again irritating me and taking up a chunk of screen. Can I get rid of jt permanently? I realise this may not be the right forum to ask on but I can't find a relevant one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordias Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) IIIRC there's a left/right arrow that hides/shows chat. Edit: Right-arrow make it almost invisible, left arrow pops again Green "chat" line at the bottom of the list of names is active - toggles seeing all names or none Edited July 21, 2017 by Gordias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 What does it mean and do? It may bring a super revelation to me, so do I really want to say goodbye to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something for the youngsters who use chat apps a lot I suppose. I just sent you a chat but no reply - does this mean you've never used a phone chatt app?

stegra Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 I've just clicked it for the first time. There was a spanner symbol which brought up the option of, hide mobile chat button. Seems to have gone for now. Time will tell as to whether it reappears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will reappear sooner than you might think! Probably the next time you use the forum. This is certainly what I am experiencing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be one on the desktop. ETA changed the theme back to legacy and it's gone. For now...
