CHAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bring back the old one, new chat sucks, nobody wants to click arrows to bring chatbox in and send it out. its distracting. horrible update.
Is it possible to add a button/link to view friend's profile page? In version 1.0 it was possible, not it is not.
It's already there, but I'm sure a better button will soon be there.
OK, click on name on the right panel -> modal box -> click on profile. The problem here is a usability: when I click on "Online friend", bottom part of page is occupied by chat and chessboard is not visible at all. What if I want to chat with my opponent, when playing?
I don't think is a good solution, from a UX point of view.
My 2 cents.
The chat is completely resizable. You can have it fill the screen, or only occupy 3 lines; or completely minimise it.

Just put your mouse over the top edge of the chat, click, and drag up and down.
Another consideration. In version 1.0 I saw my online friend's name in bottom right box.
Now I read:"Friends online: 1/11". I don't know who, among my frined, is online. To know it I have to click, open the big bottom bar, look if there is $one or $another friend and then re-close the bar.
So you're saying that you would like to be able to maximise the Online Friends list separately from the chat?
The changes could be for the better I guess but it depends on one thing- and could you please clarify.... With this new system are we forced to loose the old in game simple and easy chatbox that appeared underneath the game summary box? Or can we still have that as well. Because if you are taking that away, for no reason, then this new system is god awful, sorry.
I don't want to have to press that up arrow button every few seconds to check to see if there is some chat there and then press it down again so that I can see the board!! I'm trying not to be overly dramatic here but that's such an awful design I can't even...
Here is a screenshot of how it appears on my screen now. http://prntscr.com/2gadpj The red question mark is where the chat box used to be but is now missing. If you want to add that new arrow to add additional features such as 'team chat'( I don't even know or what that is) that's fine, but please, please please please LEAVE THE OLD CONVENIENT CHATBOX there too!!
