Chatter
Chatter is a comprehensive, lightweight, mega-configurable chat enhancement addon. It supports a whole bunch of stuff, including:
- Hiding buttons
- Custom aliases for channel names
- Coloring of player names by class or deterministic HSV formula, and player levels next to names
- Custom font and font size for your chat frames
- Custom background, border, and positioning for the edit box
- Option to let the edit box border color match the color of the channel you are typing in
- Channel colors remembered by name, rather than by number
- Scrolling your chat frames with the mouse wheel.
- Sticky channels, configurable
- Ability to copy a chat frame's contents to your clipboard
- Ability to copy URLs to your clipboard
- Ability to customize the background and border of your chat frames
- Timestamps
- A /tt command to send a tell to your target
- A module that turns the word "invite" into clickable links that let you invite the speaker.
- Highlights both for custom keywords in specific channels
- Chat fading toggles
- Text justification
- Autologging (Off by default)
- Alt linking
- Much larger and smaller chat frames than default
- A Groupsay (/gr) command to talk to your group, whether that's battleground, raid, or party.
- Chat Tab look-n-feel modifications
- Paging through chat tabs with the scroll wheel
Any chance of getting Timestamps working for the CommunitiesFrame? I know you can have it working there with default wow UI, but then that disables the Chatter Timestamps in normal chat windows. Thanks!
Anyone have a version with working URL copy?
What are the commands to bring up the menu?
Does hilight work for anyone? it doesn't work for me, neither does the sound alerts.
In reply to pawnzee:
I cant get it to work either
Timestamps only show up on player messages and not on yells, loot logs, etc., which makes it hard to track things if you're not in a spot where people are talking.
The timestamp format is also being ignored, it just shows HH:MM instead of the HH:MM:SS I have selected.
The combat log does not stay inside the frame when the chat is dragged to the bottom left corner. :(
Great addon otherwise.
This addon hasn't let me change channel names in ages. Any idea why?

FYI - I maintain a different version of this addon that can replace General, Trade, and LocalDefense.
In reply to Cognisant:
After messaging someone, whenever I try to message someone else it always brings up the previous person. This happens even if I left click someone's name in chat or right click their portrait/click Whisper. Is this a setting somewhere?
Cant See Bnet Wispers.
Any Ideas ?
I still can't see whispers even with the latest version of Chatter. Any idea?

This addon is great! I am coming from prat because it hasnt been updated in a long time.
A few things:
1. The ability to use up/down arrow keys to scroll through previous commands or chat lines would be awesome
2. It seems to be missing the ability to change the chat channel prefix for 'say'. I can change all the other ones but that.
3. For player names, I cant get rid of the brackets no matter what I put, or even if I disable that module.
I can't see Battelnet-whispers in Chatter.
Have tried it on toon with Chatter as only add installed.
Edit: Today I read that you wrote that by the fix. Reminder to self: read!
It seems chatter conflicts with battle pet, because you cant see buttons so I had to alt f4. i tried to disable chatter addon, it works. New update soon?
Using addon version 1.7.0, getting this error:
