I like to check in on my account using my phone or tablet while i am at work or out and about Smile , but there is an issue with the chat windowAngry.
It falls off the bottom of the screen if you are on the site and rotate the phone for the wide screen view. This makes it impossible to see or post in the chat window.Cry It also appears that the pop out options for the chat windows in disabled on the mobile version.Sleepy While this may be an issue with android and not Illyraid.  Some have even felt like I was ignoring them because of it.  Ouch
My question is:
Is there a way to swap the friends and chat windows? Confused
For me its much more important to see and interact with the chat than see who is online.
Any info would be greatly appreciated Clap.

There's no way to swap them and they won't be doing anything about it anytime soon, as far as I can tell.

The disappearance of chat that you mentioned is across all mobile platforms that I have used. I tried a couple of different Android phones, iPhone 4S and iPad 2. On Android, chat is a bit clunkier than on iPhone. I now use a Note 3, so I can see the chat...sort of.

When I was stuck on iPhone, I would copy the chat window to the note app to read up on chat. As for posting, try the same thing in reverse. Write in the note app and copy paste to the chat window. This would, I presume work before the phone is rotated, so the chat window can be seen. If not, there may just be no way for you to use in-game chat on the phone.

I sit on the Notifications screen because it's longer than the chat window. That allows you to get past the keyboard covering up the tiny chat entry box.

It's really disappointing that the devs have never been able to furnish an appropriate device-neutral layout for mobile devices. The current layout makes the game PC-centric and mouse-centric (because key functions depend on mouse hover). I imagine the lack of mobile support severely constrains their market appeal for non-desktop customers.

I think that's true. If I had first seen the game with only mobile, I would have never gotten past the rainbow stage.
