Forget top/bottom. Everything is done by tab, which can be dragged around to the top/bottom, made into new windows, whatever you want. Right click a tab and there are options to edit what channels you want it to show and all that.
+4/x8. The reaons some people stop at a certain point is for Architecht Entertainment mission tickets. You can only earn so many per mission and +4/x8 will obliterate your ticket maximum long before you clear a map. Depending on what your character can handle and how quickly they can handle it, it may be better to defeat more enemies which are weaker to get tickets faster. For a PL it's just about experience though, AFAIK.
See how the top chat boxes say global, help, combat and the bottom one says chat well right click on those words to choose what goes there ie team chat, league chat, broadcast chat, hero/villain zone event messages etc.
Can't help ya with number 2 and for farming +4/8 if ya can handle it gives the best exp.

Right click the tab you want League to appear in. In this case, your Chat tab. Select League on the right, click the button to add it to the left, click ok. Then right click the Global tab, click League where it appears on the left, move it to the right and click ok.|

Once you get your tabs set up the way you want, type /ChatSave. Then if it gets messed up in the future or if you want it the same way on another character, you can just type /ChatLoad

And I have no clue about the starter kit....
As for farming, I'd mostly agree with Stargeek, but, I'd add that over time, unless the higher diff mishes are noticeably ahead XP/sec, I'd go with the lower diff. Living close to teh edge might get ya more /sec for a while, but a bad break that needs a hosp will shoot your average down. Faster is better, generally. Both in tickets, and XP, and in drops for you in the meanwhile. And I'd not disregard the value of drops along the way. Unless you're so stupid wealthy that you can just throw boatloads of loot and swag away.
And if you are, feel free to throw some my way... A few purples, or some PVP IOs, or a couple bil inf. I'm not picky.
Edit: Of course, if you're not worried about getting the absolute max XP/sec, the higher diff might well be more fun/entertaining/challenging/brag-worthy... And that's not a consideration to totally disregard. If it's more fun, and will hold your interest longer, you'll get much more in the long run...

Here's the thing to remember about power leveling and farming. What really gets people upset are the various farm/pl spammers. these are the people that won't take "No." for an answer and end up getting /ignored and 1 starred. As long as you don't act like a PITA by harassing people with PL/Farm me messages, no one will care if you do either. |

Sorry for the many questions, but I appreciate your responses.  |
1 starring is done by right clicking on a character name in the chat box and selecting Notes. You get a window that let's you rate a player from 1-5 stars and add a personal note to remind you why you gave the player that rating. The number of stars you gave that player will then appear over every character on that players account when you see them That way you can easily spot people you want to avoid or you love teaming with. Only you can see the stars and notes you've assigned to other people.

I was looking into it for my own personal PLing of my toons and maybe doing some farming. I'm not one to bug others furiously and waste their time.

Always happy to help share what I know. I do farm and PL friends on occasion, but I'm by no means a full-on farmer/PLer. I'm a horribly afflicted Altisits type, so I farm enough to fund my 57ish going alt projects at a time. Not poor, but the huge numbers of alts makes sure I never get a decent stockpile either.. So, from that perspective, I look at XP and other rewards when I farm/PL from a slightly different angle from some. I'm fairly sure the dedicated farmers have different performance criteria, but hey, info is never bad, it just might not be relevant to you.
On a different topic, I'd agree with Forbin completely. Unless you're making a pain of yourself or using an exploit, neither the devs nor most of the player base care if you PL your alts..
The only thing I'd add to Forbin's comments, is that one of the biggest complaints amongst most of the player base re:PLing is that you can end up with newish players at the high end with now clue (or no clue commensurate with their level) of some of the games (or ATs or powersets) basics. If you're generally skilled enought to PL yourself, you'll prolly not fall into that trap too much, too often. I guess I *could* happen. If you're an expert Brute player, and almost exclusively a Bruter (for example.. Not knocking brutes or the folks that play them), and PL yourself some sort of def, you could be pretty bad, but mostly, it's newcomers to the game that PL their first and/or 2nd alt to 50 that really annoy folks.
All that said, to make a too long story a bit longer...
I don't get the impression that you have to worry too much over the topic of PLing your own alts, in this context.. Don't think any but the 7 perpetually pissed will care in the slightest. (I made up the number, and have no specific folks in mind, mostly trying to be funny and hedge my bet vs the one contrary person that will prolly show up soon...)
Right now, my league chat messages arrive in the top box of my chat window, how do I switch it around to be on the bottom one. And further more, how do I choose which chats I want to appear in the top box and which ones I want to appear in the bottom box.
Example of what I mean when I say top box/bottom box/ chat window. Yellow equates to top box and red mimics the bottom box.
I purchased a City of Heroes Freedom™ VIP Starter Kit A while ago and was wondering if I activated it and referred my main account, if I would get 1 free month VIP on my currently VIP main account. Would this happen?
