With the latest alpha, the LUA error is gone.

I'm happy with this fix. The icon of "View Message History" button don't appear but how I know where it would be, I click in the corresponding site.

New users not see that button, but good.

Regards

For time being i just put a workaround fix in. if tbl is nil, it'll just open the history window without selecting the proper conversation (since doing that will take a lot of extra work i don't want to do right now)

not sure how easy that is to fix, only way to get history to work with realid/battletag was to associate the actual chat with character name. so i imagine it's a mismatch finding it. i always just do /wim history to find those chats.

I'll see if that button is fixable though

Same issue, finally was able to open the chat history when I whispered someone on same server without realID, but it's kinda frustrating since I do most chatting cross server.

Locals: self = nil realm = "Steamwheedle Cartel" character = "Dreugan" tbl = nil (*temporary) = 1 (*temporary) = "Dreugan"

... more of the same message as above...

Love the mod, would adore a solution to loading the history from either a) any window, or b) a button from inside the WIM options console. :) the second might make for an easier temp fix.
