Trade channel... gone?

Q u o t e:
I can't seem to talk or see anything in the trade channel. I don't know why its happened. I look at the chat box options menu and it isn't even there as a listed option.

If you could help me out I would like to be able to sell some stuff via trade chat to take out the "middle man" :)

If you are in town, you may have an addon that has modified your settings. If you are not in town, that is of course quite normal - trade only exists in the cities.

Have you tried a reset UI? That should at least put you back to defaults. Also, you could try to /resetchat or /join trade.
