I accidently closed the Global/Help/Combat chat box. 

How can I restore it.

huang3721 - thanks for the reply. I know how to open and close chat.

It isn't the whole chat window. I closed the top of the two windows in chat. The "Global part of chat is what I want to restore"

You can try Menu/Options go to Windows and try the Chat Settings File/Load from default file. But that may only work if you previously saved it, I'm not sure.

To add a Global Tab:

1. Right click on the chat window, you will see a menu:
2. Select Add Tab
3. 
4. Enter a name for your new tab (preferably "Global")
5. 
6. Select all these channels (16 channels). You need to select a channel from the list, press the Add button, and then repeat for every channel .
7. Set local channel as default by pressing Set Default button.
8. 
9. Press OK.

Adding a Help Tab is similar, populate your Help Tab with these channels:

 

To fix the lower part of chat window:

Using mouse, select and hold Chat Tab, then drag it to the lower portion of the window.

 

By the way, I also have accidentally deleted those tabs too many times.

This has just happened to me. Eventually it had to happen since Edit is so close to Delete and there is no confirmation dialogue.

Indeed, Probably the dev thought only a few would mess with tab menu, so they didn't put any confirmation whatsoever.

Thank you very much for your help

No access at the moment to confirm but I believe the arrow at the upper right side of the chat window will allow you to Hide/Unhide the upper chat field.

Use /chatsave to save your chat and tab setup once you have it tweaked just the way you like it. Then, when you mess something up, use /chatload to fix it.

 

Run another /chatsave every time you change your setup or tweak some aspect of it.
