I keep on having this show up on everything but when I do the alt arrows. Can anyone help me not have that so I can do different colours for my arrows(I already know how to draw the different colours but I don't want this pesky menu.
Draw arrows while playing?

That happens because after drawing the arrow by mistake u go out of the chess board and then release the right button

I didn't draw the arrow by mistake. I was just demonstrating that the menu comes up. If I move my mouse out of the chess board and then release the right button I'm not even drawing arrows anymore. I'm annoyed by the white menu box that keeps popping up.
Yeah it does make calculations a lot easier

I'm always able to on the board just by right clicking and dragging. Maybe I'm not supposed to be able to, but I can. I don't use it to calculate though; that almost seems like cheating.
There is no option to enable arrows under live chess... can anyone help me find it?

The option is always available now on web so there's no setting for it
I don't see any "Right click to draw arrows" button

There's no setting anymore. It's always possible now on a full browser

I do wonder if some of the aids on chess.com will hinder me in real life. Like clicking a piece and it showing where it can go, or using arrows and coloured squares.
I am still very new so think its ok to have these things, but at some point I will look to turn them off. They are learning aids for sure and potentially give you an edge over an opponent not using them.
I do see GMs still using them though, but I guess they don't need them, and mainly use them to show stream what they are thinking. You can turn them off in settings right?

In 2016, when that answer was provided, that wasn't an option outside of an Analysis Board.

This. I want to turn it off but I can't find it.
I don’t think so... if you could though that’s be great!
