text buffer

[Midway]

   Can't type anything in the text buffer on 200, country, range, to myself... anywhere.  

Have I use my alotted number of keystrokes this tour? 

Or did HiTech comense with the beatings and I've been a bad boy?

Elaborate please.

Do you get the radio control bar?
When you click in the radio control bad input box, does the caret (cursor) not appear?

Details please.

Cursor appears.  I type (ex. a pm to myself "Test"), hit enter, and the text disappears as if sent, but text buffer does not show it then.

If someone muted me, would it say that and for how long?  Or do I need to reinstall AH?

Are you using the "All" channel (in box 1) in the arena?  That channel is disabled in the Late War arena.

Neg.  I tried country, 200, mission channel, and even tried tuning to myself.  When I hit enter, the text input box disappears but my msg doesn't show in the text buffer.  Problem started last night just before I logged.

In game name is Kojami right now.... want to change it back to Midway but have to wait two more weeks.

I do type more than most but never curse or call mean names and received no mute message last night.  Maybe a mod got upset with someting I said and muted.... don't know.

If you were muted or lost text privs, you would see a message in the buffer about it when you logged into the arena.

Didn't see, but will relog now to check.

If thats the case, I'd give that mod a raise!

Relogged twice and looked everywhere... no message or box saying anything related to mute or text. 

Should I reinstall?

It is voodoo.  The packets for text use the same mechanism as the packets for everything else related to flight.  I have no idea why one would work and another would not.  Same protocols, same ports, same everything except the data in the physical packet.

Makes no sense to me.

Well, my SA will improve.     No more typing for me.  Vox works fine.  Maybe HiTech or somebody didn't like me pushing someone's button via text, which I do on occasion.    

I'll wait a day or two and then reinstall if it doesn't fix itself.

[Midway]

Well, now it's working again.   Just pm'd myself and it worked and typed a smiley face on 200 and it worked too.

There goes my SA.

btw, I didn't do anything different to get it to work so I still don't understand what happened. 

Will let you know if it happens again.

Do you turn off your computer when you're done with it, or do you leave it running 24x7? You'd be amazed at what Windows weirdness pops up if you don't at least reboot now and then.

I shut it down when I'm done.

I'm suspecting a mod muted me because it seems like it was about 12 hours from when it stopped working to when it started assuming that's a standard mute time period.  I was having a lengthy discussion with Top Gun at the time and maybe someone got upset... I don't know.

Maybe there's a bug in the mute notification or message box? I rarely get muted so not sure what to expect.  I was once muted for 10 minutes a few months ago for singing, but there was a message box that warned me and then said 10 minute mute iirc.  Mod didn't like my singing.

Proof that there is a god.   

Odd problem, something is up in funky town.
