- Chat fading toggles
- Text justification

Posted Aug 13, 2022Posting my comment from the other "Chatter" fan-addon in case someone is trying to trouble-shoot the issue with AltNames.
__________________________________________________________
Disabling the "Alt Linking" feature no longer stops an error from popping up.
I tried Nulgar's fix below, which resolved nothing. I then briefly removed the AltNames.lua file from the folder and that did nothing. What finally made the error popup go away was modifying the modules.xml file to remove the following line:
This change results in the addon no longer attempting to load the affected module.

Posted Jun 7, 2021Is there an update for this addon to work with TBC Classic? I have the old version from vanilla classic still running but many of the modules are broken.
The addon basically works but all the configurations reset every time I log out or reload ui

Posted Jan 7, 2021Any chance of getting Timestamps working for the CommunitiesFrame? I know you can have it working there with default wow UI, but then that disables the Chatter Timestamps in normal chat windows. Thanks!

Posted Oct 29, 2020Timestamps only show up on player messages and not on yells, loot logs, etc., which makes it hard to track things if you're not in a spot where people are talking.
The timestamp format is also being ignored, it just shows HH:MM instead of the HH:MM:SS I have selected.

Posted Oct 26, 2020The combat log does not stay inside the frame when the chat is dragged to the bottom left corner. :(
Great addon otherwise.

FYI - I maintain a different version of this addon that can replace General, Trade, and LocalDefense.
