    Hi @sailingswallows this seems to be happening to everyone. If you're not signed in and using a guest account, it won't let you type for some reason. IF you create an account through chatwee you should be able to type, but it's defo broken and I hope they fix it soon.

    Hey folks, we're working on an official post about all this today to clear things up. :) Thanks for being so patient with us, and yep - for now you'll need to create an account to use chat.

    Ah, that's odd. Are you getting an error message @sailingswallows ?

    Hmm okay, thanks for letting us know @sailingswallows.

    Does it let you create a new account? And if so, are you able to login to that?

    Worth noting @sailingswallows that your chat acccount and your boards account run from different softwares, so annoyingly you need separate accounts for both. So you can’t use your boards account to log into chat or the other way round, you need accounts for both.

    You might already know that but just thought I’d put it here because a lot of people don’t know you need to have both accounts.
