Chat location and tab settings.

I cannot seem to figure out how to save my chat frame location and tab settings.

I have a few extra tabs showing and rezised/moved the chat window a bit. When I log onto another toon and load my ui chat just reverts to default. How do I save this? Or is the chat frame unable to be saved..

Pic of changed chat:

The chat settings are per character in a file called ... chat-cache.txt in your WTF/Account/ACCOUNTNAME/SERVER/CHARACTER folder.

One of WoW's great annoyances. Is it actually possible to have an addon monitor chat settings and profile them, so we don't have to move chat-cache for every new character?

Dunno if this will help....but you can stop it from being moved like this.

Code:
-- Placing the frame
ChatFrame1:ClearAllPoints()
ChatFrame1:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", UIParent, "BOTTOMLEFT", 30, 30)
ChatFrame1:SetUserPlaced(nil)

-- You may need to block it from being moved by other addons / BlizzUI
local dummy = function() end
ChatFrame1.ClearAllPoints = dummy
ChatFrame1.SetPoint = dummy
I don't remember who posted it originally or I would give them credit for it. Perfect way to stop the chat frame from being moved.

As Xrystal said, it's saved to a file in your WTF folder. All you have to do, blkdrgn, is copy/paste the file to your other characters.
