I can't see all the friends who are online

1. I am not able to see the friends who are online while playing chess because of the fact that this portion has a very narrow width. Unable to see all the friends at the same time.

2. In my window, a big grid appears which indicates by icons those who have logged in. I generally dont use it. But below it I find a narrow gap in which friends online are listed. Is there any option to remove the grid by choice and have a big enough portion to see my friends online?

Sorry you're having troubles. Are you referring to your online friends list in live chess?

Yes Sir. This list shows at best only one name although many are of my chess friends are online. It is difficult to scroll down as the gap is very narrow

Can you please try going into your live chess settings, check the box that says reset live chess layout, and then save settings?

Hopefully that helps a bit!
