Default WTF is up with channels?

I can send to a channel just fine, but can't see any of it.

I can leave and rejoin, but still the same. I just completely did my ui settings from scratch, and that didn't fix it. And I know other people are having the same problem with completely different channels than me.

Does anyone know a fix for this? 'Cause I bet the people in guk.wizards are getting sick of my 'test' spam by now

try this

/leavechannel Guk.Wizards
/join guk.wizards

right click your chat window, go to chat options
make sure guk.wizards has a check mark next to it

and try a test message

Already did that, but tried it again anyway, but no luck

Dunno exactly what causes it (seems to come up when you load a UI from another toon, but reloading doesn't fix it), but sometimes chat channels get "stuck." Apparently you can be in a channel and not in it at the same time. There's two ways you'll notice this happens.

One is where channel numbers are taken up by inaccessible channels (like Level_30-39 on a toon that's only 18). If you join a new channel w/ this toon and do /channellist you'll see something like Level_1-9 (1) / Level_10-19 (2) / Naughtycyberchannel (8), where Naughtycyberchannel should be (3).

Or, two, if one of the inaccessible channels is one you want to join, sometimes you can't get into it because it's somehow flagged that you already are, but you still won't have actual access. I'm assuming this is the problem in this instance.

I haven't found a way to fix it, alas. Not even the /setchannelnumber command seems to free up those blocked channels. The /leavechannel command just tells you "Unable to leave 'Level_70': You are not in the channel" or whatever. (If I'm not in it, why can't I rejoin it or use that goddamn channel number then?! Argh!) They do eventually reset on their own after a few days.

Resetting the UI settings fixes the last one, but it's not the bug I have.

I've never encountered it before, but it seems half of Splitpaw is experiencing the same with random channels.

I have the channel I got problems with on 3.

So I type /3 Test!

And I don't get an error, but nothing shows in the chatwindow either. However, someone in the channel sends me a tell that it's showing for them.

So I try /leavechannel 3.

You have left guk.wizards.

/join guk.wizards

You have joined guk.wizards.

So it's not that old bug, which, as you said, comes from loading the ui settings from another character. My current UI settings are less than 2 hours old now too, so
