I've never really tried to shrink the chat window down as far as I could, so not quite sure what your missing. =

Believe it or not, there was a reason for this.   My bad for not realizing someone would want a 1-inch wide chat window.   <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />" />The old minimum width was 210, the new minimum width is 280.  I'll revert it back to 210.If you don't want to wait for an update, edit your eq2ui_mainhud_mainchat.xml file.Change the "MinimumSize" value on the 2nd line of the file from "280,145" back to "210,145".  Or if you really want to go nuts, make it 100!

<p>ok, I gotta know <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> What was the reason?</p>

Im glad you posted that fix, was annoying me as well <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />On another chat related note ... why in the world can you guys not fix the [Removed for Content] tab system. The default UI will NOT for love or money save customer channels into one tab and keep them there after you have relogged.The ProfitUI chat window managed it so i know its possible, but it would be nice to get this fixed with the default UI.

The reason he changed it was to help with a lag problem some of us are experiencing.

With all the changes they've made to the UI and the way it's saved over time the files have at certain points had problems that can really only be solved by deleting the file and letting it be rebuilt by the current client. Just rename your character's file so you can restore it, then log into the game and set up your UI and then log out and in to see if it worked. If you have a really complex UI just set up a couple chat windows/tabs to save yourself a bit of work if it doesn't do the trick (and then you can restore your renamed file and continue asking for a bug fix, etc.).I don't think it's a bug though, just some corruption in your UI files. I've seen it before on a couple of my older chars.

I had to use a workaround involving a normally-ignored "A" tab as the first physical tab with all channels checked for it and the duplicate-channel setting enabled to get my per-tab channel selections to stick even with Profit. I think it has to do with how the game handles channels: you're automatically subscribed to all channels that're checked on any tab when you log in, and when you're subscribed that channel gets checked in the first physical tab in your chat window. The whole thing is a bit fragile, so once I found a way to make things stick I've tried to leave it alone so I don't break it again.
