Can't see my own chat messages

This has happened for a few months. I thought it was just my PC being a derp. A friend of mine is having the same issue. This happens for me on Windows XP, and Windows 7. My friend has: Windows 10 Pro/OS X El Capitan 10.11.6

For both of us, it happens on all computers, all operating systems, etc. Even when we are in studio logged into our accounts. It appears to be an issue linked to our account.

My profile: Xep - Roblox
Friends profile: Thewsomeguy - Roblox

I can not see my own bubbles or chats in the top-right in-game. The Chatted event still fires. Here’s a screenshot (I spammed in Studio)

While logged into any other accounts I own, this issue does not occur.
p.s I didn’t see any bug reports on this, sorry if it already exists.

Same thing happens on my old DeviousDeviation account.

Are other users still able to see your chats?

#4

Yep, just I can’t.

Are you sure it happens to DeviousDeviation?
Xeptix makes sense because this code prints hashtags:

print(game:GetService("Chat"):FilterStringForBroadcast("Xeptix",game.Players.einsteinK))

(doesn’t do that for DeviousDeviation though, but filter might’ve changed since the last try)
Not sure how this can happen, as it seems as if PlayerChatted doesn’t fire for the LocalPlayer.
(but since everyone else can see it, their PlayerChatted just fires fine)
I guess the PlayerChatted’s built-in filter is acting very peculiar…

Oh wow… found the issue. So, when blocking users first released, both Thewsomeguy and myself submitted a post request to block ourselves.

Since I blocked myself, my own chats are hidden from me.

I feel you either shouldn’t be allowed to block yourself, or you should be able to see your own chats even when blocked.

It took me months to figure out why I can’t see my own chats. And I’m clearly not the only one.
