Does anyone know if you can turn off messages..temporarily

Maybe I should just not answer them when I am playing ?

But thats hard to do if its club business, it is possible to disabe them for a short time ?

Say 30 minutes or so ?

Thank you

You can switch off the notifications

Or play in zen mode

@Tbootpoo: Do you mean the Lichess mail box or the chat line?

@Tbootpoo , as @lonelypeanut said, you can turn the notifications off so you don't get Operating System alerts.

When you play a game, the tab where you are playing the game is marked as "quiet" so you don't get requests and notifications until the game ends. If you install LiChess Tools it makes that work on all tabs (if you have multiple Lichess tabs open) and you can even select it manually from the menu.

However, the operating system notifications like mentions or people chatting with your are controlled by Lichess.

I raised this point a long time ago here: https://github.com/lichess-org/lila/issues/13380

Ok ,thank you everyone :)

there are several options, you can configure your account to accept messages from friends only, remember that frends are the people that you follow, not the people that follow you, you can block the undesired players, you can close your account and open a new one :)

No need to do that it seems :)
