deactivate friends notifications?

[la_bretonne]

Hi,
I haven't found this subject already discussed. Close ones but not this one.

When I play and have a lot of friends connecting and disconnecting, it gets in the way of the history of the game.
In some games it is annoying because we really use the history to see what happened, the animation being too fast, or being busy looking elsewhere...

Is there a way we could deactivate the community sometimes? In the preference, for instance

Thanks

The question comes up pretty regularly, most recently here: https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewto ... =3&t=21796

See my response in that thread.
