My chat on Party does not work -- anyone else have this happen?
 

When I type in the chat field, my chat simply does not appear in the chatbox (even tho I def have chat enabled b/c I can read what other people are typing.)

I emailed my VIP host who looked into it and told me that my chat definitely had NOT been banned, so he didn't know why it wasn't working for me. Note that I've tried it on both my laptop and desktop, and it's not working on either one (which suggests that it's some sort of global account setting rather than just the software installed on an individual computer.)

I used to be able to chat just fine. But it's been busted as described above for around 6 weeks.

Anyone else have this happen to them, or know how to fix it?

You didn't install snoopfree did you?

I think on Stars when I was checking on stats on PAHud or something I have accidentally blocked my own chat before.
Took me awhile to figure out what had happened.

I can't remember if it's possible to do that on party or not. I think it might be though.

obviously the other possibility is that party blocked your chat and forgot to tell you.

uninstall then reinstall then try one round alone (I mean no pahud, no pt, no other software).

If it doesn't work then maybe try new computer (or try to sign up for some play money account and try to talk at the play money tables).

This has happened to me lately, but only intermittently. Sometimes I notice that I can chat, but maybe later in the same session the words don't display.

I haven't noticed a common denominator yet for the times this happens.

I've always assumed that reloading the programme would sort out this minor glitch, but it hasn't bothered me enough to make the effort.

p.s. should have mentioned in the OP that i've aleady tried a full uninstall / reinstall. Did not work.

then either try another computer (preferably with another account on it) or register for a new account through your computer.

If the second account can talk and you cannot then they definitely banned your chat (and don't want to tell you;)

ProcessGuard can cause these exact symptoms with the Party software.

At least that's the way it was in 2005-2006.
