Clave Dark 5 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I've fallen prey to that annoying "whoopsie!" when you accidently collapse your chat window and only have the Global, the top half, showing. My search-fu is pretty ADHD so I didn't find an answer on the wiki, so can someone please explain to me in single syllables how to fix this? I promise I will cut and paste it into my growing Google doc of "COH Info" and will never bother anyone about this again, thank you! 1 Tim "Black Scorpion" Sweeney: Matt (Posi) used to say that players would find the shortest path to the rewards even if it was a completely terrible play experience that would push them away from the game... ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ Clave's Sure-Fire Secrets to Enjoying City Of Heroes Ignore those farming chores, skip your market homework, play any power sets that you want, and ignore anyone who says otherwise.

SupaFreak Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Sounds like you have a split window in a single Chat window? I know by default "C" opens/closes Chat (main). There's a up/down arrow on the top right corner of the Chat window if you mouse over it to reduce/increase its size. Other than that, hopefully you didn't delete the split option and need to context menu in the tabs again? I've always immediately customized my chat window layout to have 4 separate Chat windows with no split in any, so that may explain if I'm no help.

Scarlet Shocker Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 if you've saved your windows confic "/wdw load" should fix it (from memory) There's a fine line between a numerator and a denominator but only a fraction of people understand that.

Clave Dark 5 Posted May 29, 2023 Author Share Posted May 29, 2023 Having logged out at the time, now that I log back in, it's fixed; I did nothing. I don't think? I saw that up/down arrow was still there? But that might have done it, yeah. I don't save windows configs though, but that was a good thought too. Thanks for them both!.

TheZag Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 In an emergency, save the windows on an unaffected character and load them on the other. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Player2 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Just grab the Chat tab and drag it upward. The split should reappear. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Shocker Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 I set my UI up using the following: /Optionsave /Bindsave /Wdwsave /Chatsave When I create a new character I do /Optionload /Bindload /Wdwload /Chatload That way, I always have consistency in my game play and appearance - I don't need to worry about controls, binds etc. If anything ever goes worng with my UI (which happens more frequently than I'd like to admit) a quick /wdwload fixes it right away If I decide that I want to change things up - for example I want to put a new channel in a particular chat window I do it then make the save and then load on new characters whenever I need to. 1 1 There's a fine line between a numerator and a denominator but only a fraction of people understand that.

I did try that and it didn't seem to do anything, but it is good advice!
