I keep the chat window at the far left and bottom of the screen as possible since I disable the buttons.. When i relog the window moves back over and up as if the buttons were there. I can move the window back each and everytime but I was wondering if there is something you can look at to see that they stay there and not readjust everytime i relog. I guess it seems like it thinks the default buttons are there

New odd thing with the latest version (1.-2-2-g8bd5086).

When people join in guild, their names are cut off. However, when they join a custom channel, they are fine.

Here's an example for you: http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z126/csrace/chatter.jpg

I looked through the Interface settings and didn't see an option for this. The only conclusion I can come to is I don't understand what you're saying. Can you be more specific?

For the first part:
It's in Player Names

Same thing for the second part.

Newest alpha is truncating the final letter in most (if not all) names when enclosed in brackets, it appears. For example, if someone named Deatrica were to come online, it will show [Deatric] has come online.

Mavae: Turn on class colors in the default WoW settings for all channels.

@kagaro I keep checking and rechecking the disable buttons module, but my chat frames keep resetting anyway. Anything I should look at?

For some reason it is not showing the class color in the names in chat any more. I saw the class color in the message that showed someone came online but not in guild messages or other channels any more. The option is set to color player names by class and to color self in message but it is not doing this any more. For the heck of it I even tried changing this setting to something else and back again.

hoping you check this page, could you include the real ID 'whispers' in the channel color functionality? so that the 'channel' color stays consistent between characters.

This.

Also would be nice to include Real ID (incoming, outgoing) and Party leader in channel sounds... or incoming and outgoing for every channel lol!

Btw besides other issues, the Player Names module is not working at all. I can't change/remove brackets, colors, etc. Maybe Blizz disabled this with the new chat frame?

Hope you fix it soon, I love chatter!

v1.2-2-g8bd5086 When someone comes online or wins an achievement, the name cuts off the last letter. So it says [Johndo] and not [Johndoe] has come online. [Johndo] has earned the achievement and it should be [Johndoe] has earned the achievement. Thanks for a very nice mod

Same issue with the window position.
But today I also noticed that when some guildies were logging on it's been cutting off the last letter of their nicks.
Instead of showing "[nick] has come online.", it will show "[nic] has come online."

It's not a major issue, but I have clicked on those bracketed nicks to make a quick pst to someone.

Great mod but i cant figure out how to make it so character names are colored according to their class. If anyone could help me with this it would be much appreciated. Thx in advance!

Me too. The options are there but they don't seem to do anything.

I think its currently broken along with window moving around when logging in... it would also be nice if there was a way to reposition the RealID notifactions (which seem to be tied to the chatframe) through chatter, possibly with some sort of movable anchor.
