Stupid question, Where does the Chat log end up when you enable auto logging?

Hi,

i had incredible high loading times when logging into a char the first time after starting wow (reloading the ui toke also some time, but wasnt that bad).

I did hunt it down to Chatter beeing the issue, after disabling it(only chatter!) its still a tad slow because of the other addons i have, but the loadtime significantly increases. Any suggestions?

Blizz dumbasses broke Chatter during todays "maintainance". Unable to resize and you cannot shift + click to get player info, it brings up the /who window.

1) Who knew there was an "unlock window" option... I didn't find this out though until after I fixed 2).

2) Ok so it was a simple fix after all. Just had to disable chatter so I could see the "general" tab on the default chat box and then select "reset chat windows."

I'm having a resizing issue.

1) It won't allow me to resize from anywhere except the bottom right, even with the check box checked.
2) While dragging my bottom right corner the left side and top of my chat pane have gone off the screen and I can't for the life of me refit it to my screen.

Please help... I'm going crazy!!!

Shift-scrolling IS working.

Maybe this was recently fixed, but i had this problem for some time that shift-scrolling was not working. Today i discovered by accident that in WoW settings--> interface-->game tab-->social, "Enable mouse wheel scrolling" was ON. This is Blizzard's setting that allows you to scroll in a chatwindow, but it interferes with chatter's scrolling. So set the Blizzard scrolling to OFF and suddenly Chatter's shift-scroll works again :)

Hi =D I love chatter, but there is one thing bothering me! Could you implement an option to disable the chatbox from lightening up when you hover over it ? :)

I encounter a serious bug with this addon recently. It appears chatter doesn't save any of my config like chat window sizes and position and got stuck in a setting of several days before. This happens in any profile I make.

Yes indeed, you did fix the problem with the windows going back to default size and positions. :)

Great job and thanks for all your hard work!
