Posted Jun 5, 2024It would appear that the addon is abandoned since it's been nearly four years since the last update. I've long been the patient sort, but it's causing errors that directly affects my enjoyment of the game. (With the end of Dragonflight in sight, it will only become even more broken with The War Within.)
I'm sad to bid this farewell; I was among its earliest adopters because I found it perfect for me. So long and thanks for all the text. /salute

Oh, I already forgot that I wrote this...
In order to get it a bit better in v10.0.2, I did the following temporary patches:
1) File "Modules\AltNames.lua", before line 218:
UnitPopupButtons = {}2) File "Modules\ChatTabs.lua":
Comment the content of function "mod:Decorate()" (I left the function empty).
3) File "Modules\ChatTabs.lua":
Comment lines 181--194.
4) File "Modules\TinyChat.lua":
Replace all instances of
by
All prefixes (words before colons) should stay as is.
5) File "Modules\ChatFrameBorders.xml":
Comment lines 4--14.
No idea what I did, but many error messages disappeared.
