How do I resign a game?

Hi I'm quite new to Lichess and have tried to resign or offer a draw using the symbols to the right of the board, but they don't seem to work and there is no apparent way to chat to the opponent (as that function does not seem to work either). The odd thing is that other people have been able to offer me draws and the odd one has resigned. Is there another way of being polite in the game?

Many thanks

Hi @Pirc1 , to offer a draw or resign you have to use the symbols you mentioned, once you clicked on them, you have to click again to confirm the action (on the first click a cross symbol appears next to the resign or draw symbol to cancel the action in case you click on them by mistake). Hope this helps you!

i think the problem is that the new update caused havoc, where a common issue is the unavailability of the usage of menu options!
