Feature Suggestion: Compressed money loot messages. For example, instead of: You loot 40 Silver, 45 Copper (2 Silver, 2 Copper deposited to guild bank) You could have: Looted 40s 45c (2s 2c guild)

I'd imagine I'm not the only one that would like this since the guild messages are so much longer than anything used to be. If you wanted to get fancy you could put little coin icons instead of the g, s, or c after the number, maybe make that a toggle-able option.

How can I disable the mouseover effect of the chat's background? I can't seem to find the option.

This happens whenever I attempt to set a focus with Chatter enabled. I'm going to have to get rid of it, as this is really aggravating. :/

The "tainted path" errors are happening all over the place. Just google "from a tainted execution path" (with the quotes). I didn't see until I used some macros in Opie. It blames addons from Stubby to Atlas...

It apparently has something to do with Blizz and not the addons.

See page 2 for a fix for this issue.

Or replace your AltNames.lua with this one:

temporary solution to the arithmetic error on line 220:
edit the Chatter.lua
Go to line 219, at the end of the line change:
(arg1)
to:
(arg0, arg1)
Reload your UI, error begone.
I also found that I had to check Server Positioning -> Enable Server Positioning
to get the frames to appear in the correct location/size.
Hope this helps.

I know I'm not a developer or maintainer, but on that particular character are you using classic chat frames, or the newer "IM-Style" ones? The IM-style chat frames store independent message history, so clicking on a different window can bring up a different chat 'sticky'.
