/roll not working in my game, may be general chat problem

Last night, during a game session, none of the players were able to roll any dice.  Playing Runequest, tried rolling using the character sheet, and also the /roll command.  Nothing showed up in the chat.  This morning, while trying to troubleshoot, I also tried just sending text to the chat, and nothing showed up.  When I looked at the Chat Archive, I did see at least some of the chat messages from this morning, and the results of the /roll command, but nothing for any of the rolls done with the character sheet. This was the third session of a one-shot game.  We'd had no problems prior to this, and I see no problems in my ongoing game. Here's a link to the one-shot . The one-shot finished last night, but I'm concerned this might happen in my ongoing game Marc Robertson

Hi Marc! This looks like a corrupted Chat Archive. A game's Creator is often able to fix issues with their Text Chat by  clearing the Chat Archive  (note: not  clearing your current Chat Log ). A GM might want to copy/back up the Chat Archive before the Creator clears it.

The most likely problem is that somehow the chat archive is corrupted for that game.  From the launch/details page of the game, you can clear the archive from the settings drop down menu.  You should try that and see if that clears up the issue for you.
Clearing the Chat Archive did fix the problem.  Thanks
