Chat 5.5 synclist Stuck

Question

I've been beating my head against the proverbial wall on this. I'm using the steps from the skimpy tutorial in that I have a networkmanager, and my players have networkidentity and networktransform. I don't know what is happening here, but my syncliststring does't appear to send changes to any client other than the one who sends the message. What am I missing???

 using System;
 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 using UnityEngine.UI;
 using UnityEngine.Networking;
 
 public class ChatController : NetworkBehaviour
 {
     public Text textPrefab;
     public RectTransform contents;
     public float originalHeight;
 
 
     public SyncListString chatLog = new SyncListString();
 
 
 
     void Start() { chatLog.Callback += OnLogChange; }
 
 //    public override void OnStartLocalPlayer() {
 //        base.OnStartLocalPlayer();
 //        Debug.Log(GetPlayerName() + " Local player started");
 //        Debug.Log(chatLog);
 //        chatLog.Callback += OnLogChange;
 //    }
 
 
     private void OnLogChange(SyncList<string>.Operation op, int itemIndex) {
         Text t = Instantiate<Text>(textPrefab, contents.transform);
         t.text = ": " + chatLog[itemIndex];
         //Debug.LogFormat("LogChange:  local={0}, text='{1}', player={2} chatLog size={3}", isLocalPlayer, t.text, GetPlayerName(), chatLog.Count);
         
         
         switch (op) {
             case SyncList<string>.Operation.OP_ADD:
           //      Debug.Log("?????");
 
                 break;
             case SyncList<string>.Operation.OP_CLEAR:
                 break;
             case SyncList<string>.Operation.OP_DIRTY:
                 break;
             case SyncList<string>.Operation.OP_INSERT:
                 break;
             case SyncList<string>.Operation.OP_REMOVE:
                 break;
             case SyncList<string>.Operation.OP_REMOVEAT:
                 break;
             case SyncList<string>.Operation.OP_SET:
                 break;
         }
     }
 
 
     public void Workabout(string text) {
         CmdSendMsg(GetPlayerName() + ": " + text);
     }
 
     [Command]
     public void CmdSendMsg(string text) {
         //Debug.LogFormat("isServer({1}  Connections({0}) " , NetworkServer.connections.Count, isServer);
 
         chatLog.Add(text);
     }
 
 
     string GetPlayerName() {
         return GetComponentInParent<MR_PlayerController>().playerName;
     }
 }

In case anyone is interested, I solved this by eliminating the synclist and just sending manually:

 public class ChatController : NetworkBehaviour
 {
     public Text textPrefab;
     public RectTransform contents;
     public float originalHeight;
 
 
     public override void OnStartLocalPlayer() {
         base.OnStartLocalPlayer();
         MR_NetworkManager.Instance.client.RegisterHandler(MR_MessageTypes.CHAT_MESSAGE, OnChat);
     }
 
 
     void OnChat(NetworkMessage msg) {
         ChatMessage m = msg.ReadMessage<ChatMessage>();
         Instantiate<Text>(textPrefab, contents.transform).text = m.ToString();
     }
 
 
 
     public void Workabout(string text) {
         CmdSendMsg(text);
     }
 
 
     [Command]
     public void CmdSendMsg(string text) {
         ChatMessage msg = new ChatMessage(GetPlayerName(), text);
         NetworkServer.SendUnreliableToAll(MR_MessageTypes.CHAT_MESSAGE, msg);
     }
 
 
 
     string GetPlayerName() {
         return GetComponentInParent<MR_PlayerController>().playerName;
     }
 }

 public class ChatMessage : MessageBase
 {
     public string fromPlayer;
     public string messageText;
 
     public ChatMessage() : base() { }
     public ChatMessage(string from, string text) : base() {
         fromPlayer = from;
         messageText = text;
     }
 
     public override string ToString() {
         if (fromPlayer == null) {
             return "<color=yellow>System: " + messageText + "</color>";
         }
         return fromPlayer + ": " + messageText;
     }
 }

I guess synclist isn't ready for prime time.
