Hide Chatbox Option

When the internet connection/Dynasty server is running slow, it gets very annoying having to wait...and wait... and wait some more for that chatbox to load. It seems to double page loading times sometimes when I'm using my smartphone.

My suggestion is that there is a little checkbox in the account settings where you can check it to "Hide Chat." It would not be hidden by default, so newbies will still be able to ask questions easily and won't know how to hide it until they play with their settings.

If it's possible, maybe with chat hidden, a button could replace it. When it is clicked, a popup appears with only the chatbox inside it.

It would be beneficial to those who don't like using or seeing the chatbox as well as those experiencing slower internet connections. It also could lower the tax on the servers: those with it hidden or in a separate window will not be loading the thing a gazillion times while testing or completing puppies.
