New Side Bar Chat Option Needs To Be Removed From My Account

How do I remove the new side bar chat and go back to the old chat method?  I clicked on it because it said to "TRY" it click here. But when I tried it and DID NOT LIKE IT, there was no way to go back to the old chat window!!  Reasons for not wanting this option: 1. I lost the option to "go offline" and 2. I cannot see everyone who is on line on my friend list!!

I ended up downloading a different browser and I got the old chat back. I think it has some compatibility issues still since it's new. Try using an older MS Internet Explorer web browser. It worked for me, but I don't know for how long.
