Help with chat window

Gingerbreadhag

I recently had to reload my addons due to user error . Now I am getting chat in my chat window, and I have no idea how to turn it off. I am assuming it's a setting in MasterMerchant, but I could be wrong. I attached a screenshot. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

im not sure what addon that is, but there could be multiple reasons that is showing up

some addons have a "debug" setting which would output extra stuff to the chat, which is what that appears to be at first glance

you generally want to make sure those debug options are set to off as they just spam the chat and mainly used for the addon developer to diagnose errors or test things

you could iron down which addon it is by systematically turning addons off until the messages stop, so you could figure out which one it is (brute force method is 1 addon at a time then reloadui, other method is the half split, you basically disable half of your addons, see if its still there, then continue disabling half of the addons, which would narrow it down faster if you have a lot of addons)

It looks like you only have once tab named "Chat" (default tab) from that picture. If you create a second tab (you can right click on each tab and that way adjust what channels that will be shown), then you can untick the option for channel called "System" which I suspect is showing those messages in your chat right now. It is probably debug messages as Necrotech explained from an addon that can be toggle on or off.

When you search (enable/disable and use /redloadUI) for which add on that output these messages to your chat don't only look for add on that is Chat addon, but also make sure it isn't one of your other addon like LUI Extender or similar which can also output messages to Chat when enabled in their settings.
