No text entry box in Spectator Room

I checked the FAQ, but found nothing about this. Was there a policy change that prevents players (like myself) who have not played many games from using chat? In every game — my own and others' games — I see no place to enter text in the Spectator Room. I'm using a fully updated Firefox (64-bit) on Windows 10.

Thanks in advance for any help.
Sounds like you've accidentally disabled it. Have another look and you should find the checkbox that lets you toggle chat on or off.
Thanks, that was it. My custom background image is very dark (a space image), and it was almost impossible to see the checkbox:

Suggestion: Add a contrasting border around the checkbox (if possible) so it's visible against dark background images.
