I hope it's a temporary situation, but just for the record in the latest Windows version and latest Chrome browser and latest Flash (all were checked for updates) the chat bar at the bottom of the screen is missing. It's frustrating because you can't see the typos in your chat message until after you've posted.

Can you resize the window if you let BBO pop up in a new window instead of opening it in a tab?

[barmar]

It looks like the browser isn't properly informing the BBO app of the size of the window. BBO normally resizes itself to fit inside the window, but as you can see the whole bottom of the app is cut off (there's another row of buttons under Who's Online that's missing).

Try disabling your Chrome extensions to see if one of them is the culprit.

Thanks... that solved it. One extension had added itself as a toolbar and I guess it had "lied" about it's size.
Starting an inkognito window also solved the problem (temporarily).

BTW, there's a useful Chrome extension called Disable Extensions Temporarily:

It puts an on/off button in the toolbar, click it and all other extensions will be disabled. Click it again and it restores them.

I have this issue. The resolution is to maximize the BBO window. This works for me every time to bring "up" the chat bar.

Click the maximise icon at the top right-hand corner.
