Hello,
I'm playing Blighted Isle, and whenever I try to type "hint" this happens:

"[Runtime error: nil object reference

Any idea on how to actually get hints to work? I'm playing online, on a chromebook (I doubt my OS/tiny computer could handle downloading the game).

If there's no way to get hints to work, any hints (especially on how to pick up that darned seaweed)? I've:
- rented the room
- gotten the parchment from Inalda / gotten the related quest
- gotten the smuggling quest from the Duke
- gotten the apple sidequest from Sally
- gotten the flour sidequest from the baker
- gotten the fever sidequest from Joe
- gotten the seaweed quest from Meg

Thanks in advance for any help!
