Lost Chat box

One of my villains has only 2 chat boxes. The one you as a player type into to talk to people, and the general one that tells you stuff when you first log on and then stuff like "you have earned x amt. xp" or "your friend ??? is online". The only messages Feral Furre can see and read are the ones that are done in 'broadcast'. She cannot see anyone's responses in local, team, super group, or any of the other channels, nor can she see what she herself typed once she hits 'enter'. Any ideas on how to fix this? None of my other toons have this problem and I have 4 heroes and 4 villains.

Okay, first of all... in the future when you post try NOT to use DARK blue text on a webpage that most people are viewing with a dark blue/gray background. It's incredibly hard to read.

Second, you've lost you bottom "pane". To get it back, simply click on one of you chat tabs and drag it down towards the bottom of your chat window. That should bring back you "lost" chat pane.

Here are some FANCY pictures to help you see what to do:

The above is the solution in most cases.
If however the problem is more serious, and your chat settings have become jumbled,
Below, you will find the question and solution from a previous thread to help fix it:

It's keeping him from communicating in-game. I'm at a loss as to what to tell him to do. I've never seen anything like that.

1) Go to an unaffected character (or make a new one). Go to Options, and at the bottom of the General options in the Chat Settings* click "Save to default file". Then open the affected character and on the same interface click "Load from default file". Instant fix, assuming you don't mind the characters having identical chat settings.

2) This is a bit more involved. It's what I do on the occasion I still manage to make this mistake (it's all too easy to do). Right click on the chat window and select "Add Tab". Then "Edit Tab" with the newly created tab selected. Then you add in every type of chat that you want to see - you're essentially recreating the tab you deleted and customizing it at the same time. Once you're satisfied, close that out.

In order to restore the divide between the top and bottom boxes, simply click on a tab (any tab) and drag it down - this will recreate the two boxes. You can then create more tabs. So long as at least one tab remains in the bottom box, it will remain in existence.
( * Note: The Save and Load buttons for the "Chat Settings File" are at the bottom of the Options list... several categories below the "Chat" options)

That has saved my bacon several times!
