Private servers are not supported on Curse, as they are violation of the Terms of Use set by Blizzard. You are on your own.

I love how on top of patches this add on is!!

Will there ever be a way to move the input box to the top with this addon? currently I use minimalist to do this but with 3.3.5 it's broke. Would be really nice to have it all in one

thanks for the great addon!!! <3

Not sure this is an issue with chatter but i figured i'd toss it out there just in case.

Basically after a reload or log out and back the chat frame is not saving position below a certain point. After testing with the default frame there appears to be a threshold that the frame can not be lowered past. This is the same in both classic and IM style.

With the addon enabled you can place the frame as desired but after reload or log in its bumped up above the threshold.

I really like this addon, but one thing I dont see is channel suppression. It gets annoying to see who signs in/out from all the custom channels I'm in.

I'm truly TRULY sorry if these have been posted today. I've been trying to fix addons since my server came up and now it's chatters turn. First, let me mention - I LOVE THIS ADDON. I love the customization, flexibility, and so on. I'm just curious about 2 things.

1- I have enable class colors but I'm not sure why it's not allowing these to show.
2- Also I have copy chat turned on but where the icon was in the bottom right corner (yesterday) is a re-sizable arrow that I'm assuming is a Blizz thing.
3- Sticky chat. I don't really like the idea, hence I turned it off. It's still on. Is this a Bliz thing?

I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong - if anything. Or if this is just Blizz and patch day and a new chat window. Help :(

Once again I love this addon and wish I came across it sooner. Thank you for creating this thing!

Quote from WoW Forums (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=25552505383&sid=1)

This gets reset everytime you reload your ui, so id make it a macro

/run ChatFrame1:SetClampedToScreen(nil) --Allows the frame to be placed beyond the edges of the screen
/run ChatFrame1EditBox:SetPoint("TOPLEFT",GeneralDockManager,"TOPLEFT") -- Places the edit box you type in to chat on TOP of your chat box
/run FriendsMicroButton:Hide() -- hides the social button

Change ChatFrame1 to ChatFrameX where X is the number of the frame you want to edit (like your custom frames) ChatFrame2 is generally the combat log

If you dont know the number, place your cursor over the frame and type

/run GetMouseFocus():SetClampedToScreen(nil

or

/run GetMouseFocus():SetPoint("TOPLEFT",GeneralDockManager,"TOPLEFT")

just remember it doesnt save it on a reloadui, but in the mean time till our addons work again

One bug I've noticed is when you disable the side buttons and try to retoggle them you cannot.

That's default now. If you right click the chat tab and go to settings you can check the check box by each channel to show class colors. :)

There's a new "feature" under the "social" tab for WoW's settings called "Chat Style"

It's defaulting to "IM Style" so just change it back to "Classic Style" for the old / normal functionality.

A third one I just encountered:

Since I have the text entry field ABOVE the chat window rather than the default below, when I attempt to click on the General and Combat tabs, I activate the text entry box.

Problem is this prevents the clicking of the chat tabs, unless I get within a few pixels above the text entry field.

Two bugs I have encountered seem linked:

- One is that when I move the chat box to the lower left hand side of the screen, I cannot move it to the absolute bottom. I hit a wall about the size of the default action bars when I attempt to move it to the lower left hand corner.
- Two, if I attempt to RESIZE the box to fill that gap, the chat box grows up, rather than down.

I hope this helps.

Since the patch, the mousewheel scroll always scrolls by 1 instead of what you set it. and now the "Edit Box", as the addon calls it,(you know the little thing under the chat window that shows you what you are typing) is now partially behind titan panel. if there is an option to change the layer it is on in the UI. i think it is called Strata but im not sure. im just trying to make it so the edit box is on top of titan panel like it used to be and i dont see an option for this.
thanks
