Click on the bubble icon at the bottom of the page, right under where the chat list should be.

	Is that a special theme you have? – Jacob Jan Tuinstra Jan 13 at 14:25
	@JacobJanTuinstra It’s the “Tree” classic theme, but the bubble has nothing to do with it—you simply can hide the chat now. – Alex Jan 13 at 14:28
	@JacobJanTuinstra It’s a square bubble, not a building. :) And no, it’s pointed correctly—the dots show/hide a second gadget, while the bubble shows/hides the chat, whether there is a different gadget installed or not. – Alex Jan 13 at 14:38
	Are you responding to a deleted comment? – Jacob Jan Tuinstra Jan 13 at 15:11
	Yes, there was a comment about a building, or something. – Alex Jan 13 at 15:13
