Turn Off Chat

[Shadowscaler]

Can we turn off the in game chat feature? I find many people use it to express frustration and it's highly distracting when I can't control who is bombarding me with *. Please offer this as an option for everyone's sanity.

*Moderator edit: please refrain from swearing on BGA, this is a family-friendly platform.

#chatbar {
display: none;

If you add this to the CSS part of your profile (go to preferences, then advanced) you will not see the chat anymore.

It's a bit more complex than that if you read through this thread: https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=40425

Code: Select all

body.desktop_version {
  #chatbar,
  #chatwindowpreview_general {
    display: none;
  }
}

body.mobile_version {
  .chatwindowtype_table {
    display: none;
  }
}

seems to be the css you actually want to use as it will also hide the message previews while not hiding the game log on mobile.
