Chatter
Chatter is a comprehensive, lightweight, mega-configurable chat enhancement addon. It supports a whole bunch of stuff, including:
- Hiding buttons
- Custom aliases for channel names
- Coloring of player names by class or deterministic HSV formula, and player levels next to names
- Custom font and font size for your chat frames
- Custom background, border, and positioning for the edit box
- Option to let the edit box border color match the color of the channel you are typing in
- Channel colors remembered by name, rather than by number
- Scrolling your chat frames with the mouse wheel.
- Sticky channels, configurable
- Ability to copy a chat frame's contents to your clipboard
- Ability to copy URLs to your clipboard
- Ability to customize the background and border of your chat frames
- Timestamps
- A /tt command to send a tell to your target
- A module that turns the word "invite" into clickable links that let you invite the speaker.
- Highlights both for custom keywords in specific channels
- Chat fading toggles
- Text justification
- Autologging (Off by default)
- Alt linking
- Much larger and smaller chat frames than default
- A Groupsay (/gr) command to talk to your group, whether that's battleground, raid, or party.
- Chat Tab look-n-feel modifications
- Paging through chat tabs with the scroll wheel
is there a way to hide the border together with the chatframe, when the chat/tab is already clear?
clear chat just shows the border only but theres no reason for this?
the editbox border doesn't go away when i mark "none" in all the options and take the fading completely off!
Is it bugged????
Hey fellas, did the author abandon this addon?
I love using this over Prat, and I'd be sad if it was. :(
I'm still getting "disable addon" error when I try to enter a BG (it disables this addon when I tell it to disable), and world channels like general/trade still shows the full names rather than what I put ([1], [2]).
In reply to Yujiza:
I have the same question and also love using this addon. Does anyone know the author and if he/she plans on updating the addon in the near future?
Right-clicking peoples name generates a massive spam of errors.
For anyone having issues with right clicking names returning this error:
176x FrameXML\UnitPopup.lua:1380: Usage: CheckInteractDistance("unit", distIndex)
[C]: in function `CheckInteractDistance'
FrameXML\UnitPopup.lua:1380: in function <FrameXML\UnitPopup.lua:1375>

There are 2 fixes for this:
- The easiest method is; typing /chatter ingame and disabling the "Alt linking" module by unchecking the box, this will however disable the entire module.
- The slightly harder method is; navigating to World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\Addons\Chatter\Modules and editing the file "Altnames.lua". You have to remove the line #219 that states "Dist = 0,". This should allow the "Alt Linking" module to remain functional, but without the error messages. However if Chatter gets updated, and the creator doesn't fix this error himself, you have to retake this step.
Hi, the display level in chat is not working for me.
it this a known issue or am i doing something wrong?
Colored names by class is great- but missing the levels of the players when they talk
Thanks,
In reply to nshawmc:
Same here.
How can I get my chat box to look exactly how the screenshot does? I've played around for ages and can't seem to get it to look like that. (Chatter1.jpg)
The colours are very clean and the box itself looks nice. Would appreciate any help trying to make it look like that.
I can't move the chat box, nor can i resize it
It looks like the Blizzard chat is overlaying with Chatter
getting this error any time i reloadui or log into the game. not doing anything else (retail)
*edit*
fixed this error by unchecking "no real names" in player names section
is there any way to enable the share to twitter icon in chat ?

Any fix on Chatter giving an error whenever you try to change notes in the Guild UI - something about Chatter being blocked from action only available to Blizzard UI."
Why has Chatter as long as it has existed never had the ability to move the frame where we type in to say above the chatframe?
In reply to fittetwitch:
you mean the editbox? you can move it, go to chatter settings and look at editbox polish

In reply to Forge_User_52088463:
also i cant remove the border from the editbox
I moved from Prat3 and there's only one thing Im missing. I'd like to use just arrow keys instead of alt+arrows for edit box history.
In reply to Durdanius:
it's about to get use to it. better to teach your self without any additional addons, because when Blizz decide to break something hard - you won't need to get used with the new ones ;) btw ... i'm here just because i'm (was) a Prat user as well ;)
In reply to Durdanius:
another thing missing is the share to twitter button when you obtain an item or achieve . or take a screen shot
