Used to be able to click anywhere on the area outside the chat window and it would close. Now I need to navigate away from the current page and manually reload.

Also, if memory serves, the original theme showed the chat option more prominently on the user profile. Now I need to click on the hamburger button to see the option, which is fine, but I'm not sure that a new user would even realize the chat is even an option with the current/new UI.

i agree it's less friendly, but you can click on the chat icons at the bottom right corner and they will open/close

Thank you for pointing this out. I'd missed that!

Doesn't seem to be any way to get rid of it on (iOS) mobile, though.

I'll have to see if I can borrow a cellphone to test or play on Browserstack. Appreciate you bringing it up.

Just discovered that the 'X' close button does in fact exist on the chat window (top-right). It's just not appearing. Might be missing some styling for coloration or icon or whatever.

I can definitely fix that then in the meantime
