Would it be possible to have a tab that can be clicked to stop chat while playing (rather than having to drag the line beneath the table downward)? Dragging works but resets the table area. It would be nice to just not receive the chat.

I was playing this morning and my opps chatted constantly - I finally 'blackened' them. It would have been wonderful to just have clicked a button to have some peace. :blink:

I usually stop the vugraph and friend notification when I play. Bot touneys are great - no chat!!

Just a thought.

Thanks for your consideration.

Blocking chat from outside the table is a reasonable request, in my view.

But I can't see them agreeing to blocking oppo chat.

If you are on the flash interface you can hide all chat by relegating it to a tab on the right of the screen.

I guess my suggestion was more to the idea of having a "chat" button to click so that the chat did not appear under the table. To click on the button would set up the 'chat' tab on the right hand side of the screen (rather than having to drag the line down and then reset it).

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks!

There's also a button to reduce the font size of chat. Maybe making it smaller will make it less annoying.

But opponents have to be able to ask you questions, so hiding it totally would be inappropriate.
