I logged on today and I see nothing in my chat menu, no text appears, it doesn't sign me in to any channels and also I cant see any parties, anybody else have or had this problem before?

try to reboot the game maybe
could be some king of a server problem

this prolly dosnt work on you since you dont have finnish/swedish keyboard but... i get chat window by pressing key "ö" ... it goes away also if i press it again :\ dunno if this helps at all

y, i have, but on sunday, yesterday i dunno, i was not online:

This is a bug with 1.3, there's a thread somewhere on official forums where you can get help with this. Bugged characters will have a hard time for a while tho, thank roper :Z

happens sometimes

No, this is a bug thats rather permanent, people have chars that are bugged and there's nothing they can do about it except wait and contact FSS help team via forums.
