Disable messages about friends online/offline ?

[izildi]

Hello!

I'd love to know how to turn off these automatic messages that appear on the right of the screen each time a friend goes online or offline while I am playing a game. Is it possible?
I am Not talking about push notification (which I've disabled), but about messages next to the last actions reminders about the current game.

This is very distracting to me and useless: when I am busy playing a game, I don't need my attention to be caught by unwanted information about other people online stats.

Is there a way to turn this off?
Or maybe this fonction could be added to BGA?

Thanks a lot for all the work!

It is the #4 most voted outstanding suggestion, with 900 votes at present: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=29258

I am not sure if there has been any response from BGA to this issue in the last 5 years, so your best bet might be to use the unofficial browser extension if you are on desktop. This lets you remove the messages. https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30509

Great extention thanks!
I’ve tried the firefox version on laptop and on android (pad), it’s exactly what I wanted about these annoying log messages, and there are also other cool features, like dark mode!
