    Tried it and really like it. Especially the ability to add alt names to mains. But (!) I miss an option to delete alt names. Would I have to do that manually, browsing the lua files, did I just not find an option in the menu ... , or - if there's none - would there be chance to add this?

    :)

    Great stuff so far!

    @ no_idea,
    It is because WoWAce syndicates its beta and release versions to Curse.com. Alpha releases are not syndicated, and thus are not displayed on curse, but are however displayed here.
    Alpha versions are generally untested, dry-coded, very early releases, or may contain bugs known or unknown to the author. And can be verified by the A: in the Recent Files list
    Beta releases are generally testable by users and rely on feedback of any issues/ideas, as well may be unfinished commits for a stepping stone type of versioning. Verified by a B:
    Releases, are supposed to be completed versions (feature wise), and for the most part bug free for the current WoW revision, and with general comments between versions removed from the script files. Verified by an R: not to be confused with the lower-case "r".

    As well clicking the big Download Text up at the top, will automatically select the latest "Release" version of the addon, in this instance, Release version 233 will be downloaded instead of Beta version 3.2.0b1

    I noticed there is an updated version available from here but following the link to the Curse page still has the last version. This isn't the only mod affected this way too.

    Guys!

    Is there a way I can set chat-fading time? I need to set the fading faster on chats. I find a setting, but it just turn on/off the chat fade.

    I have a problem with the addon. At the level of colors, On the general channels there are no colors on the names of the players.

    But, I see colors on the other channels, as channels groups, guild, raid....

    Is there a solution? ( Saddened for the faults, but I speak not often English)
