Setting Chat Options
To determine what appears in the new tab, click the small circle icon (second icon). A new window will open with various options.
To enable a specific option, simply click on the specific option in the list, and it will turn from off to on. You can also click on the "All On" option, which will enable all options.
What do I do if I don't see chat?
Suppose I don't see anything other than general chat, whispers, GM messages, etc. Check if /notalkmsg or /notalkmsg2 is enabled. Press Alt+Y to activate the window
/notalkmsg or /nm - General chat is not displayed in the chat box. Only whispers, party chat, GM announcements, and guild chat are allowed. /notalkmsg2 or /nm2 - Same functionality as /notalkmsg (/nm), but this time guild chat is also blocked.
You can also enter commands and enable or disable them in the chat window.
