Is there any way to copy over what chat tabs I have created from character to character?
Good question. I recently got a new computer, so I copied my wtf and interface folders over from my old pc. All my addons were fine, but the chat tabs had "reset" themselves to the default configuration :/

I didn't do anything other than copy my wtf/interface folders over to my new SSD and everything was saved from my old hdd...
It appears that the settings for a given character are stored two files, found in \WTF\Account\*accountname*\*servername*\*charactername*\
Copy the chat-cache.txt and layout-local.txt files to the other character.
