chat disabled in turn-based games

Sort:
Bruch

I recently made the mistake of posting a private note about my upcoming moves in the "chat" tab instead of the "notes" tab.  This would allow my opponent to see my plan!  I noticed my error right away, so I disabled the chat feature in the game.  Can my opponent still read it, or will the entire tab be eliminated from his screen?

thanks

I'm not certain. I think all previous text stays there.

martin, can we start a non-rated game to test the theory?  we can exchange a short dialog, then you can disable the chat... i will resign then.

Sorry, didn't see this before I saw your challenge. Go ahead and resend and we can test.

In v3 I just see chat disabled, no chat history.

Nice test! Thanks for posting results. I have a few friends who sign up for chess.com and I can chat with them during our daily games, but others it just says "Chat disabled" and I can't chat with them. This is not intentional, I don't believe, and they can't figure out how to turn it back on. Does anyone know how they can enable chat for daily games? One guy I asked said he didn't seem to have it in his settings in his iPhone app. Not sure about the other people.

Thanks!

In the app it should be in SettingsDailyAllow Chat
