Guild Wars 2

ive run into the issue wherein, in the chat box, I am unbale to see or respond to any messages, and when i do try to send a message, i get a post in the chat saying that i am not a member of that channel. this issue is present in channels where i am the owner, an officer, and a regular member.

You are most likely set to invisible in your contact list top left.

Then you cannot send any text messages to Guild chars nor receive them.
