Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why cant I click on chat tabs when the Move Edit Box option is enabled?
A: Since WoW 3.3.5, the edit box remains clickable even when hidden. You can disable this behavior by setting the Chat Style option to Classic under Interface Options > Game > Social.
Q: What are sticky channels?
A: If a channel is sticky, then after you type into it, the edit box will open to the same chat type again, rather than making you type /g or /ra again.
Q: Will you add?
A: See the Feature Requests section further down this page.
