- 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
I used to access chat history by pressing up arrow, today I'm installed the last client/addon version and that feature does not seems to be available anymore. Any idea? Thank you.
As of the latest version: 1.4.4.7. Names in guild from linked servers ie chars in the guild but not on the guilds server now appear coloured correctly as [servername-char name]. But any char on the same server as the guild still shows as grey and uncoloured.
The ability to colour players names ie by class does not seem to work in a guild when people type anything. There name appears in colour as it should when logging in but then it just shows all player chat as gray.
Also its showing it in format as server-playername, is there an option to just display it as playername only?

Ah ha! Thx.. I guess I did not unfold the entire menu. Solved.
@Webbi4e
4th row from the bottom when Chatter menu is unfold. (Between "Text Justification" and "Tiny Chat" rows.)
Nice addon.. thnx for all the hard work.
How do I disable the timestamps? I can not seem to locate where to disable this.
Hi all! Does anyone know if Chatter supports slash commands? I'd like to be able to toggle (on/off) the Chatter Fonts setting using a macro. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
It appears that the AltLinking function is no longer working properly. No matter what I set for a suffix, it is not pulling the names from the guildnotes field anymore.
But just a FYI, chatter is not the only thing that is bugging on the "M" key some times its also acutioneer and titan panel
I am getting the smae Error that seams to have started last weeks patch that i am reading a lot of the same, so here is the swatter for it this time, hope it helps.

DId Blizzard break something in the last week? Whenever I open and close my map ("M" key) i am met with an error stating: "Chatter has been blocked from an action only available to the Blizzard UI. You can disable the addon and reload the UI."
EDIT: I disabled handy notes, and the 2 timeless isle handy note addons and no longer get the error.
Is there any chance of an update, IDK what happened in 5.4 but on every machine it's on i use it refuses to let me set focus target, I've been forced to disable it and I hate it not being on.
This addon looks great but it doesn't seem to work for me. I've downloaded through the curse client but when I load the game the chat box appears as normal, there is no option for Chatter in the Interface>Addons menu and I've also tried /chatter in the chat box but that doesn't work either. Any ideas?
@Castor027
Blizzard broke/changed something with 5.4, other chat Addons that provided the same functionality are broken too. Vote here: http://www.wowace.com/addons/chatter/tickets/273-5-4-using-arrows-to-scroll-through-recently-sent-messages/
@0xygen
Did this add on have a way to toggle off the use of the Alt key for message scroll? Pre 5.4 I could scroll thru previous messages with just the arrow keys. I'm trying to track down the add-on that changed this, because since 5.4 I now have to use the alt key.

Hello, love the addon. One question, is there a way to open the edit box and use the arrow keys to scroll the previous entries so I don't have to retype the entry? Thank you
Hi,
Very nice addon! Very silly question probably, how do I prevent tabs from fading out? I want the names of the chat tabs to always be visible. Thanks ;)
Great addon that I absolutely love, just one minor thing I can't seem to figure out. Every single time I logout and log back into the game, my fonts are all reset. Any idea what that's about?
Hey guys, so I'm having a tiny quality of life issue I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix.
I have the "edit" box (the box t hat pops up when you hit enter, where you type) unlocked and moved to the top of the chat window so it's easier for me to see instead of all the way at the bottom of the screen under the chat box.
I really, really love the ability to do this. Until very recently (I stopped playing in 5.0.X and just came back in 5.3) the edit box is at the top of the chat window still like it should be, except it appears on the same line as the chat window tabs.
So if I mouse over the chat window and then press enter to start typing, I can't really see what it is I'm typing since my General / Real ID / "Stuff" tab labels are on that same line. Now, this isn't where I moved the edit box to obviously, I moved it slightly above that. The problem is if I log out and back in, the edit box moves down to that line. If I disable the "edit box polish" option by unchecking and rechecking it, the edit box moves to where I set it.
I know this is pretty long winded for such a small, insignificant issue, but I would appreciate if anyone had the first clue as to how to rectify this :(
