Playing MTGO, I had Mycosynth Lattice in play and in a mostly artifact deck. I tried to throw doan a card that had U in the casting cost. I paid all the colorless mana the card required and it still asked me to pay the U. Please explain. Thanks guys.

Can you give a little more detail? What specific spell were you casting? Would it let you activate mana abilities but not count them towards the U? Did you have any trouble casting any other spells? Did you have enough mana available to pay the total cost of the spell? Has this happened before? Did you try it again in another game and if so did it work or not work?
It would be very surprising if Mycosynth Lattice was still bugged after all these years, but I suppose it's not impossible. Maybe your client got temporarily bugged.

I had about 6-7 post on the field so I had plenty of mana. I will have to go back through my deck tonight to tell the exact spell. I had about 12 colorless mana and the card was I think Propaganda . im sure it was. I tried to cast the card before I paid so when I did it asked me to pay 2 colorless and one U. I had 12 or so colorless mana in the pool so I just clicked it. it took the 2 but still asked me to pay the U. i was like wtf? tried to play some other games but couldnt get it out.

If you didn't have any trouble casting other spells, then I guess it's a really weird bug just between Lattice and Propaganda . If you see it again, file a bug report.

It may be an MTGO bug. You were using Mycosynth Lattice correctly, but the coding for its last effect may not have been implemented properly.
