Why does my sidebar keep disappearing?

[redtide]

I use Chrome, and starting a few days ago, whenever I'm in a game, the menu bar on the left disappears and I can't get it back. If I hit f5 and refresh it comes back for a minute, then goes away again. It's a royal pain in the ass. Does anybody else have this problem, or know how to fix it?

thanks!

Are you using the panels? I'm pretty sure it's related to that. There should be an icon near the top of 3 or 4 black bars which shows the menu when you click it.

If you are using panels and a desktop then it's a setting - you can go to settings on left panel and adjust it there.

If you are using tablet or mobile, that's something new that had to be done so Google wouldn't hurt the site on its searches or whatever and you can get them back using the 3 horizontal bars near the top of the page

I think this is what we're after here:

Yes, it's in the Settings menu as "Hide Left Nav". Set it to No.
