how do you/can you turn off FB chat?

[overnightfood]

I love FB chat, but there are times when I'd rather I could switch it off. Can't see how to do that, or even if you can. Does anyone know please?

chat/options/go offline

Go to 'options' (at the top of the chat box) then select 'go offline'.

thanks - embarrassed I hadn't even noticed the options in the chat box, so obvious when you know how!!!

have to say i always have fb chat on offline as sometimes i just want to read status's/look at pics and not be pestered bothered by people 'popping' up for a quick gossip boring chat
