| May 16, 2021 at 12:26 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | @EmilJeřábek I will add to your comment that frozen rooms can also be unfrozen by moderators, if they are needed again. (Not necessarily MO mods - a moderator from any Stack Exchange site will do. But I suppose that this happens rarely for rooms moved from the comments.) My comment is mostly for the benefit of other users reading this - most likely you already know about this. | |

| May 16, 2021 at 8:56 | comment | added | Dima Pasechnik | I'd like to correct myself on MathJax support - it works on Android phones (we had a long chat with the author, involving creation of videos to show the problem etc etc), but it is rather inconvenient there, as bookmarklets don't work as usual, one basically has to search for a stored bookmarklet by using the URL window of the browser, and execute it. Also, creating this (not quite) bookmarklet involves editing the bookmark body and pasting raw JavaScript code there. | |
| May 16, 2021 at 7:31 | comment | added | Emil Jeřábek | As I just found while trying to follow up on a math discussion that has been moved to chat, another misfeature (apart from lack of MathJax) is that chat room are automatically frozen after as few as 14 days of inactivity. | |

| May 15, 2021 at 10:16 | comment | added | Dima Pasechnik | as far as I tried, no way to get it working on an Android phone. | |
| May 15, 2021 at 9:05 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | @DimaPasechnik You mean feature requests such as Why is there no support for MathJax in chat? on Mathematics Meta or Any chance of MathJax in chat? on Meta Stack Exchange? | |
| May 15, 2021 at 8:46 | comment | added | Dima Pasechnik | Has anyone tried to ask upstream, i.e. Stackoverflow folks, to enable MathJax in chats? | |
| May 15, 2021 at 8:45 | comment | added | Dima Pasechnik | these are not working on a setup I tried - these are probably too tied up to a particular browser. | |

| May 14, 2021 at 6:33 | comment | added | Dima Pasechnik | well, point me at a chat that had proper maths typesetting. my experience is that it doesn't work. | |

| May 13, 2021 at 22:08 | comment | added | Dima Pasechnik | I think it's hard to talk maths in chat, as it does not typeset maths, so one is left with dollar signs etc all over the place. | |
| May 8, 2021 at 5:05 | comment | added | YCor | I voted up this one, but conditionally not to have a broader interpretation of "goes off-topic" than Todd Trimble's practice. | |
