I have tabs set up for different channels but I never know if any of them are active unless I check. I know when I receive a /tell I get a *bleep*, but is there anything I can do for the other channel tabs?

When you leave a tab, the tab name itself turns grey. When there is new activity in a tab, the name turns white again. So, you can scan a whole line of tabs for new activity by looking for white-named tabs.

As far as sound goes, I am not aware of anything that can be done.

Yep, it's true! I have a tab set up solely for market notifications, so that I can see from the name colour change if a trade goes though.

Did you know that you can change the colors of the chat channels?
- right click on the channel name in your chat window and select Set Colors.

Did you know that you can enable colors for global names? (Example)
- go to Menu-->Options-->General tabl-->Chat.


With those 2 set and if you include more than 1 channel per chat window, you should have an idea of how long ago someone posted in the channel.

I'd also suggest including the Hero/Villain/Praetorian Event Announcement channels to your chat windows. Unless it's a Rikti Invasion or Zombie Apocalypse Weekend, they'll only post a few every now and then and they'll also give you a sense of relative time passed.
