Frequently Asked Questions

Why can’t I click on chat tabs when the Move Edit Box option is enabled?

Since WoW 3.3.5, the edit box remains clickable even when hidden. Disable this behavior by setting the Chat Style option to “Classic” under Interface Options > Game > Social.

What are “sticky” channels?

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.

Will you add ?

Probably not, but if it’s not on the list of intentionally missing features, feel free to submit a feature request ticket describing the feature and why you think it would be a good addition to PhanxChat.
