Are you playing via the website?

If I didn't know better I'd say I had a chat ban, but if so I have no idea why. I've not chatted with anyone recently.

Yes. I have the same problem in the android app also
What is your live chat setting on? They should be the same for Daily and Live but wanted to double check.
There have been reports of that happening to some people and staff are looking into the issue. However, it's unclear how many members it's impacting at this point

All my chat options are on/open/public as far as I can see. Live games, Daily games, site chat. I am happy to chat with anyone!

As a double check I went in to try a few other ongoing games. One of them I /can/ chat in but all the others I cannot, including games Vs players who are friends and that I have previously chatted with ok.
It's very strange

Actually it seems that its only on a single browser, Firefox, running on linux mint. Chromium also running on mint is ok.
Maybe OP can try a different browser? See what happens.
Can someone help explain why?
I haven't had any arguments or disagreements with anyone here, not in game, on forums or in club notes or anything like that. I'd appreciate knowing what is happening?
