DW Chat

Post by Aloka »

I don't intend using the dark maroon coloured "DW Chat" section but I can't close or get rid of it since I logged in - and it obscures half of my page. Could someone please change its location, or whatever?

Same here, especially on mobile. Also it's easy to misclick and then it blocks my comment field and then I have to refresh the page and risk losing my writing. I can't minimize it either, btw.

It is now called Trollbox. On click opens it up- one more click on the word Trollbox (or the same line) in upper left will minimize it.

It's at the bottom now. If it's not at the bottom you need to refresh or clear cache.

Every now and then, I write something into it to see if anything will happen. This should be a study. What on earth are other people typing into it?

I assume eventually we're supposed to see messages other people have sent in the area above the text box?

The chat now seems to have escaped from its little maroon box, and is luxuriating at the bottom of my page.

Much better and no longer obstructive, thanks!

How to do smilies or emojis in Mac desktop?

Also, at present time 7:52 PST does not work at all. No Send box and hitting Return key does not work either.

I think the only way it can be done is by opening a word processor, clicking on "Show emoji and symbols" and then copying and pasting whichever you want to use.

It should be working on Safari on Mac now. Refresh the cache with ⌘ Command+⌥ Option+E to make sure you're seeing the latest version.

To type emojis on Mac, type ^⌘Space (Ctrl-Cmd-Space) or go to the Edit menu and click "Emojis & Symbols".

On Windows, the keyboard shortcut for emojis is Win+; (Win+. might work too).

I have experienced, few dropping the link a few times and to re-login.
Perhaps it is a glitch in my ten-year-old computer.

It happens again.

When is the chat going to be functional, out of curiosity? It is still just an empty box at the bottom of the page.
