One issue is that by default the game client only allows a chat channel to be in one tab. When you log in, it goes in the first tab that's got it checked and disappears from any others. When you enable it in any tab, it disappears from any other tab it was checked in. The fix for this is to add a line to your eq2.ini file:
chat_allowduplicatechannels 1
That'll allow one channel to be in multiple tabs at the same time. Another thing I've found helps is to create an "A" tab (name doesn't matter, but "A" is short to make the tab as unobtrusive as possible and's a decent mnemonic for "All") as the first physical tab in your chat window. You subscribe to all channels you want in it as well as in the regular tabs you want those channels in, then just ignore the "A" tab. When I started doing that, it seemed to fix my problems with channels shifting between tabs and getting renumbered.
