Chat box not showing up?

Okay, here's my problem...

When I'm typing, I can't see what I'm typing, the text box does not appear for me so I cannot tell if I've made spelling errors or anything like that and half the time, it turns out I have or I've added an extra / when I'm trying to type in guild and I get that error "type /help for a listing of commands".

I've tried to reset the chat box, disabling all my add ons and nothing I've done is working. I'd take screen shots of it but there's really nothing too show in the picture.

Help would be appreciated.

Q u o t e:


I've done that already and it's not working.


Interesting.

Have you tried a complete UI reset, Misstheli?

If not, give this a shot:

    1) *IMPORTANT* Exit the World of Warcraft to your desktop by logging out of the game and exiting. If World of Warcraft isn't closed, then these steps won't have the desired effect.
    2) If you used an "installer" for a custom UI, see if it has an "uninstaller" and use it.
    3) Inside the World of Warcraft Program Folder, delete the "WTF," "Cache," and "Interface" folders.
    4) Restart your computer.
    5) Please do not reinstall Addons prior to testing the issue you were experiencing.
    6) Make sure that you are using WOW.EXE or LAUNCHER.EXE to start the game. Please do not run any UI installers beforehand, as we want to eliminate them as part of the issue.
    7) Upon launching the game, you should see the Intro cinematic movie and be prompted to agree to the Terms of Use. Once you authenticate past the login screen, the “AddOns” button should no longer be visible at the lower left corner of the character selection screen. Both points mentioned previously must hold true if you should complete the aforementioned steps correctly.

Let me know!
