New member, can't chat

  Hi all.  I just played (lost) my first online match play.  When I clicked the chat box it prompted me to ..."Write message here..."  But when I clicked on it I wasn't able to type anything,  I felt bad because I'm sure my opponent thought I was snubbing him.  I'm playing from the website with a brand new laptop.  Any suggestions?

  Thanks.

  I am guessing that you were using IE browser?  It seems that there is a chat bug within IE.

  Try again with Chorme or FireFox... and clean your caches, etc,

  Good luck!  Oh, and if you really don't want to hurt your opponents feelings, you could always place your explanation on his wall.

  Peace.

  I am having the same problem but it happens only after I go to full screen. Works for a little while and then nothing (painful flipping between the two screens for a chat). I am using IE. Not sure about changing browsers.

  Good advice from all I have seen.

  Good golfing

  You can't chat once you go to full screen.  If you want the game window to be bigger, and you would also like to chat, click the square at the top right-hand corner of your browser window.  It's the same size as full screen, but without the chatting issues.  Hope this helps.

  I have the same problem about not being able to chat in fullscreen. No input whatsoever from the keyboard works in fullscreen, which is pretty annoying. I've gotten used to hitting the zoom with my mouse now, but it's annoying to exit fullscreen just to comment on something in multiplayer. Send in a bug report via right-click so hopefully it gets looked at. We should be able to use the keyboard in fullscreen too.

  If you hit F11 it goes to full screen AND you can chat...it will hide your taskbar though.

  Hello

  I'm a new member having exactly the same problem using IE - do you know if this issue has been resolved yet? Clearing my cache hasn't worked for me - is there any other resolution or work around?

  Thanks
