I got a problem.
When I'm in dalaran on my priest alt, and while flying, I move in and out of the no fly zones next to the well, I get a blank message in my chatwindow with a timestamp instead of the Warning: You are about to be dismounted message.

On my mage main I have the same exact addons loaded and the problem doesn't happen.

Also related, on my Druid alt (low level), when an NPC does an emote (particularly the ghost humans in eversong woods, when they pop evasion), i get a blank message instead of the emote

I'm using this on all of my characters, and only having this problem on one. When I move the chatter box right to the bottom left hand corner (right in the corner) when I finish, or do anything else, it's x position stays the same, but the y position goes to around half way up my screen. Is there a setting or anything that's causing this?

Mouse over the chat box until the General tab appears at the top left. Right click the General tab and choose Unlock Window.

That sounds like another chat addon is interfering with it. You might want to go through your list of addons, disable all except chatter and see if your messages are appearing. If they are, then that means it's most likely a conflict with another addon. Go back to your addon list and enable them 2-3 at a time so you can pinpoint which one might be the culprit. If that's not solving it, double check your chat "filters" to make sure nothing is being filtered out. ie, right+click on the chat tab, choose "filters". Check under those three categories. For example: if you are typing something out in guild chat and it's not appearing, make sure the "Guild Chat" box is checked. Hope that helps. Good luck!

This is such a fantastic addon. Thank you so much for all of your hard work that you've put into it.

I am having an issue with the "color player names" function. I have it checked -- and it's always worked for me... but here recently (in the past 3 weeks, I'd say), it's 'forgetting' the class of the player and colors everyone gray. This even includes myself! >.< So I'm wondering if something has changed or is bugged, etc. Thank you again!

Does Blizzard not give addon devs the hooks needed to resize the chat window? It is the only function I have found that can not be macroed or handled by an addon.

Ok, I can't edit my comment. Perhaps I need a clarification for "Much larger and smaller chat frames than default". Will do some digging when I get back in game, later, today.

Hey can you add a level filter so that can set to what levels you don't want whispering you. that will help so that gold spammers don't whisper cause i'm getting tons a day now.

You can do this in the default chat settings in WoW, as far as I can remember. Unless you are wanting to dynamically create a new chat window for every whisper you recieve, which is what WIM does. Merely filtering all your whispers to one chat frame is easy. Just create a new chat frame and adjust it's settings to only show whispers.

Is there a way to get a separate window for whispers to me (like WIM does)?

Hello, great addon. It has been working perfectly up until the most recent patch. Now I have one small problem relating to the "chat bubble" icon or chat/emote icon. When I try to use hide all icons the scroll buttons are removed, but this icon is not. For some reason it hangs above my chat frame and won't budge. This is a little frustrating as I'm trying to keep my current UI as clean as possible. Is this an itended feature? Thanks.

Ok, well it turns out I left another chat mod running that has been interfering with chatter. I just turned it off and hey presto, the icon has gone. Problem solved.

Does anyone know if this addon has the functionality of not having to hold down the alt key to use the arrow keys? I switched from ChatMOD to Chatter, and this is the only thing bugging the shit out of me? If it is not, can this be a Feature Request? Thanks.
