Can't receive tells..

So, I tried sending tells to join shouts as usual, never got a reply.. So then I tried sending a tell to my buddy who was on skype with me, he said he never got it, he tries to send me a tell back, and it tells him I'm offline. I had multiple people in Ul'dah try and send me tells, same effect. They can see my say text, but I think my tell, LS, party chat is crapped. I tried logging in and out multiple times, shutting the game down, and nothing worked...

Check your chat filters (Menu > Config > Log Settings) and see if you have tells squelched.

Also check if you have your /away up or not.

Turns out it was a major bug, I had to restart my computer. /away and settings don't cause the problems it did. People couldn't see my tells and when they tried to send me tells it would say "I couldn't be found" or something, pretty much referring I was offline. Was very weird.
