Somehow I collapsed the tab with Chat at the top, now Im left with just one window for chat, like this:



How do I get it back to normal? Its usually divided into 2 parts. Its just bugging the hell outta me. Thanks!

I actually did the same exact thing last night and freaked...until I checked the help tab. You can create a new tab and drag it over (a 4th tab appears like Global, help, combat). As you drag it a divider will re-appear. Then assign what used to be there to that tab and you're good to go. Glad it wasn't just me. =)

Just drag-and-drop one tab with your mouse to the lower half of the window, and the divider line will magically reappear. Then click on "Tab", choose "Add Tab", create a new "Chat" tab, and edit it to carry all the chat channels you like.

I also think that down arrow on the window frame on the upper right of the chat pane will restore the window to split mode if you click it.

So I need to recreate a tab called Chat? I cant have my original back?

Check tabs 1, 2, 3 and 4 to see if the Chat tab was accidentally moved there.

If not, you may have accidentally deleted the Chat tab (easily done with a right click, delete tab). To get it back:

-Click an empty NUMBER TAB (1, 2, 3 or 4)
-Click ADD TAB
-Type CHAT into the "Enter Tab Name Here"
-Add the channels from the Available Channels List. Typical channels listed are: Coalition, Broadcast, Emotes, Friends, League, Leveling Pact, Local (Default), Private Messages, Supergroup and Team. I also recommend Consignment House for when you buy/sell something, Hero or Villain Zone Events and Request/Auction.
-Click OK
-Click, hold and drag newly created tab to lower window.

I hope this helps.

No, that shrinks the window down.

However, you can also right click on a tab and choose "move to bottom".

Good.
NOW, before this happens to you again, once you have the chat window arranged to your liking, type /chatsave

This will save your chat settings. If they ever get borked again, just type /chatload

Well, he could have just done the /chatload right away or take the scenic route by going to:
Menu-->General tab-->(scroll to the bottom)-->Chat-->click the [load default file] button
(this assumes the default chat layout wasn't already screwed up)
