Hi Vincent, You could try this. The following address will give you Facebook chat in a separate Internet Explorer tab or window. When you use this address you'll be asked for your log in details unless you're already logged into Facebook in which case it will just open up a page purely for chat. Haven't used it much myself just played around with it there and it seems ok. When you're finished on chat you can just close the tab or window. Give it a try. The address is http://www.facebook.com/presence/popout.php Francis. -----Original Message----- From: "Vincent stack" <vts@xxxxxxxxxx> To: "vip students" <vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 4 Mar 2011 11:27:42 -0000 Subject: [vip_students] facebook question > hello folks > > in face book when i go to the place where it shows my friends that are > online and press on there name it comes up a chat box at the top of the > screen. how do i remove this chat box from the screen after i finish > chatting. there is a close button but it only closes the chat session > and not remove it from the screen. many thanks in advance. > > regards > Vincent NCBI: Celebrating 80 Years ******************************************************************** National Council for the Blind of Ireland (NCBI) is a company limited by guarantee (registered in Ireland No. 26293) .
