The problem: recently the UI for the Stack Exchange chat switched to mobile even in my browser on the notebook. While the UI might work fine for tablets and phones, it has some serious drawbacks on conventional systems, namely on computer w/o touchscreen and conventional keyboard.  Likewise, I was unable to find a configuration option to keep using the old style of the chat, which had tons of advantages on a traditional computer, like users, and favorite messages in the sidebar etc.  The most annoying part is that the new UI forces me to use the mouse to click "send" on every message, because hitting "Enter" only adds a \n to the multiline input field.  Is there any possibility to keep using the old chat (which I greatly preferred on the notebook) or at least a configuration option that enables "send on enter" in the mobile UI?

While having trouble getting Stack Exchange Chat to work on my travels in China, . (I'm using a netbook.)  That actually worked but now I'm in a different hotel in a different city and most of the sites I had trouble with previously now work.  But when I open SE chat in a new tab it automatically opens in mobile mode. It doesn't seem to have any button to switch to "non mobile mode".  It seems nobody has asked this before since my searches reveal nothing.

Took a few seconds to find how to get back to chat on SO. I quickly found that it was hiding inside the StackExchange drop down along with Blog and Log out. Having these links inside the "site switcher" seems a tad out of place and calls for concern personally.   Any ideas for an alternative to these objects location?

Why can we not adjust the size of the text in the Stack Exchange app? The tiny size text may be unhealthy to my eyes. Can the ability to adjust the text size be added?

Yes, I know there's a script for that. But I think it's useful enough to be inserted into the live chat for everyone.  The following keyboard shortcuts are incredibly useful:   CTRLUp and CTRLDown - For replying to messages (each Ctrl+Arrow should change the :[message ID] in the chat input. CTRLSpace - For retrying a failed message, or ESC to cancel it. There should also be a keyboard shortcut to edit a failed message as per the newest functionality (Maybe the Down key?)   Using a chat with only the keyboard is very useful, it will be especially appreciated on chats with a more technical nature.

This is a suggestion. The Stack Exchange website has a "Search All Sites" text field in the upper right corner, but the mobile app does not have an equivalent feature.  Instead we must search each Stack Exchange site individually and doing this on a smartphone is difficult. So adding such a global search feature would make Q&amp;A browsing and lookup for mobile users much easier...

In chat, the short code [metaso] expands to http://meta.stacexchange.com/ (no typo, the missing 'k' is the bug I'm reporting).  (And since this is too short a bug report, I'll note that I think that [metaso] should probably point to .)

I have a hard time reading questions and answer on Stack Exchange sites sometimes. I hate having to bring my phone or laptop very close to my face to read things sometimes. I would love if there was an option to increase the font size in the app. Can this please be done?

Is it possible to write to the common chat during Heroes of the storm game?  'Enter' gives me allies chat only, 'Cmd+Enter', 'Alt+Enter' (on Mac) don't help either.

Question: For an answer on a stack exchange site with say 8 comments, how can I / is it possible to import the comments into a chat room? Background: I was helping with a  and made several comments before I saw the link to auto-import comments into a chat room.  This was awesome by the way!! Note that the person who asked the question left a link to the chat room in a comment. I wanted to make a similar chat room  because I edited an answer which wasn't mine and added a paragraph.  I wanted to chat with the answer's author @JonHopkins to say, 'hey feel free to remove my edit -- just wanted to add my $0.02' -- especially as the stack exchange engines said not to add an additional answer.  HOWEVER, there was no link to auto-import the comments -- probably because I hadn't previously left one, but I'm not sure. So I ask here, Stack Exchange Gurus, could a static link be added to auto-import a series of comments into a chat session?

I'd like to understand the reason (pros and cons) why Stack Exchange went with a native mobile app and not a hybrid app (using WebView and some native features).   I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I just would love to read about the decision process and arguments for and against. For me intuitively a hybrid app would have made more sense for a site like this.

I don't like the new Google Hangout integration with my gmail web app.  It's too busy, too much color, and too hard to see what status people are.  In short, get off my lawn.  Can I get the old Google Chat interface back?

When a link is shared in chat and it ends up in a specific position on the screen it is impossible to click it (without fiddling with the DOM).  As you can see in the printscreen above a link is in a post at the end of the line. However when I try to click the link the post options overlays the link (once I hover over the post):   Link to transcript:  Resolution: 1366 x 768 (laptop) Browser: Chrome v3300 (by the time you read this it will be at that version)

The chat is pretty great. But it has an obscure and frustrating phenomenon. When I get pinged, the message gets highlighted, which shoves the icons over to the left a little for some reason.    Since I'll very often want to reply to a message that pings me, I'll move my mouse to that reply icon...    ... and it just so happens that the amount of time it takes to position my mouse on that small icon is the same amount of time it takes for the highlight to end, so the margins shift over to the right again just when I'm ready to click.  The culprit!  This line of CSS appears to be the troublemaker:    With it disabled, I think the phenomenon would disappear.    (I'm using Firefox 26.)

We've come to rename Markdown to Letdown in the  because it lets you down so often. I've now just found a pattern. It seems markdown . That is, this  Letdown can't cope with multi-line comments. Let's see code?  fails to display code marked as code, while this works  But code works.  Now, I think it would be Ok if you said chat messages shouldn't be multi-line. (Although I'd be a bit annoyed, because I like them.) But if so, please don't render them as multi-line (as is the case with comments), so we aren't tempted to use them.

: Add share buttons to chat events! Here's a concept drawing of what I'd like it to be: Let's get rid of the export and delete links right after each title, and replace it with a chat-style popup-popper-upper:  Which would popup a popup!  Clicking share would bring up options to share the event to Twitter, Facebook, etc. Of course, the concept art is pretty crude (and devoid of red freehand circles), but it should be enough to give you an idea. I'm open to any way to get a share button, this was just the best one to pop into my mind. Opinions?

When browsing the mobile theme of Stack Exchange sites, when I type a @ sign followed by a letter, it never auto completes the username for the comment like it does on the full site theme.  I think this feature is needed as it prevents me from responding to specific comments.  Can this please be added to the mobile theme as well?

I was auto-logged out from the chat.stackexchange.com server. And I couldn't log back in! I reproduced this issue both on Chrome 67 and on Firefox 61, both with regular tabs and Private / Incognito tabs. My OS is macOS 10.13.5.  What I tried:   on chat.stackexchange.com, click the 'login' button (top right, next to the search box). click the log in with Stack Exchange button. fill in my Stack Exchange login credentials. I'm redirected to https://stackoverflow.com/users/login?teamsMember=1, a page that tells me with a red box that I need to log in directly, since I'm a team member:   Fill in my credentials again. Now I'm logged in to Stack Overflow. Return to chat.stackexchange.com, confirm I am not logged in there. Try the same flow again. Log in link, use log in with Stack Exchange, fill in credentials. Now I am taken to a page on Stack Overflow that states I am logged in, and asks me to add another way to log in?     So the log in flow wants me to log in on Stack Overflow, and that log in is never reflected back to Stack Exchange. I can't log in on https://stackexchange.com either. On step 3 I can also use my OpenID URL (which is backed by the Stack Exchange OpenID service for now until I can figure out how to rescue my SEDE account queries) but this has the exact same result.  The work-around is to log into  (or any one of the other *.stackexchange.com sites, such as ), then suddenly chat has me logged in as well, and  acknowledges my account exists too.
