Chat channel autojoin

[Paleskinn]

<p>I'm fairly sure this has been addressed somewhere else, but half an hour of searching didn't dig anything up, so here we go again.</p><p>Every time I log in, or switch characters, I find myself automatically joining some chat channels I do not want to join, like 1-9, etc. I do, each time I log in, leave these channels, yet every time I log again, they are back. Any sort of input on this would be very helpful, including possible causes and workarounds someone might have found.</p><p>TIA</p>

<p>Seems I should have looked into my uisettings file before posting. In hopes of others seeking for a workaround to this, below is what I did.</p><p>First, close your eq2 client. EQ2 writes to this file every once in a while, and also when you log out. This would overwrite any changes you would be making. Now, open your uisettings file in a decent text editor. I use notepad++, but it's personal choice. I'd not recommend using notepad, as it does "weird stuff" (tm), and editing code with it is generally discouraged. Your settings file will be in the EQ2 root folder, wherever you have it. My file is called Runnyeye_Gardon_eq2_uisettings.xml.</p><p>Once opened, search for <ChatChannels joined="true" version="2">. This element contains a <Channel> element for each channel you will join automatically. Delete/rearrange as you see fit. This is also an easy way to rearrange channel numbers.</p><p>When done, search for <Window Name="MainChat...>. It may be <Window Name="MainChat_clone_0"> or similar. There will most likely be several declared windows, try to identify them by the tab names and contained channels. For each chat channel (this is, a channel with actual chat text, as opposed to log text), there will be a <Channel name="foobar" /> entry. If you deleted any channels above, make sure no window references them like this.</p><p>Save the file and start your client again. Enjoy.</p>
