This is due to Carbonite's hidden channel. Sadly, there is no option to ignore channels.

the times are called Timestamps. Just go into the chatter options and disable that modual.

I just switched from ChatMOD to this mod, and so far I like it a lot, with one major exception that will sadly be a deal-breaker if I can't find out how to fix it.

I'm on an RP realm, and I use MyRolePlay. One of the channels used by that mod is called xtensionxtooltip2, and is also used by other RP mods to communicate additional information. This means my name will frequently show in that channel, triggering the name highlighting.

Is there any way to exclude some channels from name highlighting?

Also, make sure you have any previous chat add-ons disabled. Wondered why I still had Timestamps in chat till I realized I had to disable a previous add-on.

As of this afternoon, once maint. was all said and done, I've had to disable chatter completely. I could not right click and get any options, couldn't left click and whisper, couldn't shift-click to get info. No matter what I did, clicking on a persons name would result in inviting them to my group. Spent a good chunk of time searching my options (which I didn't change). So not sure if the LUA is funky now or what, but I love this addon. simple and makes my chat window much more enjoyable.

I hope to see this addon back up (at least for me).

Can someone tell me if I can make the names of players logging in their class color? Everything else is in class color except that.
