Never mind me, not a chatter issue.

If anybody else is having this problem you need to just go into the blizzard interface options -> Social -> Chat Style -> set to Classic Style rather than IM Style.

For some reason I am unable to set the chatbar to the top. Is anyone familiar enough with the addon to direct me to where this function is in the settings?

minor bug with new release. trying to click on the tabs when you have the chatbar set to the top forces the chatbar to open and prevents you from clicking the tabs.

1) Editbox movement to move at top instead of it being stuck at bottom (or move it freely) doesn't work

2) Settings not saving after logout

3) Removing timestamps

4) Removing the ugly border

Any possible fixes? The most important one for me atm is the free movement of the editbox.. it's killing me to not see what I write

i figured out that if i unchecked and rechecked the "enable disable buttons" option under "disable buttons" that the chat frame does not readjust itself when you reloadui, i reloaded my ui like 2x to be sure it would stay but its seems to be working so far.

The addon is still moving to the right and moving up from the bottom of the screen like its making room for the blizzard chat box and the blizzard chat arrows.

tried the alpha version from wowace, position is being saved now, but a few other problems.
Whenever i log into any character, i have to open options and tick, then untick sticky chat to stop the chat from sticking to whatever i last typed into. also same problem with hiding the tabs, the alpha hides the tabs properly now but every time i log in, i have to tick and untick the option to hide them for it to work properly.
last thing, i am unable to copy chat and click where i am currently typing(edit box)anymore.
so if people want to stop the problem with the chat box moving, the wowace alpha version does that, but brings other problems.

I see why these positions do not save now. The chat frames are restricted from being placed at the bottom of the screen. Which is where I have my chatter windows.

* Chat frames not remembering their designated positions
* Have to click the very top of a chat tab to tab to it ... otherwise it activates the edit box. Edit box should only activate upon hitting "Enter". As it did before.
* Combat Log Fix now is slightly off on its fix .. by just a few pixels. Nothing major. It no longer grows to the same size as the other tab frames.

-- Will note other issues once I notice them --
