Hello, I like the add-on, it's nice and flexible,
but I just noticed a thing :/
As a healer, I use the focus option very much on the tanks.. But when I installed Chatter, I can't focus on a person any more, at first I get an error screen, with a LOT of text and pages, but after that, when I close it, it does not appear again (until a re-start of the computer) but I still can't focus, could this be fixed??
Any more info, just ask.
// Nick

Can you try to type /focus *name* ? Or is that when it crashes on you?

Love the addon, just one small problem. With this most recent patch, my general window no longer shows trade chat. I've checked to make sure it's selected, updated, still nothing. If I create a new window and select the same check boxes I can see it, but I still can't in the main general window.

Thank you for the great addon. I do (of course) have one question though: I have Party/Guild in one window/tab & would like to have Officer in the same window, but it always goes to its own window/tab, is there a setting I've missed somewhere?

- Thank you for your time.

This has been driving me crazy for a while now. Every time I get a loading screen the font size rests to whatever the default is I guess. I have mine set to 21 for example and it keeps changing it every time a loading screen pops up (reload UI, enter a dungeon, etc.).

First let me say that I love your addon and had switched from Prat to Chatter, however today I have had problems with it resetting to the default setting and making it so my WoW will not respond to my keys(movement, typing, etc.) even if I saved my profile as something and tried loading it would just load the default stuff and lock my keys, is this a bug or is it conflicting with something else?

Sorry to ask what's maybe a silly question, with item linking in chat the tooltip always shows under my cursor, similar to the "Moncai Compare" tooltips which are also driving me insane, due to layout its simply unintelligible, I've tried "Move Everything" and "TipTop" to set the anchor for these tooltips to no avail. If anyone can tell me how to fix the position of these I would be very grateful.

Hello, I really liked that addon at first, untill I recognized that I have to manually change the Settings every time I log in, because fonts, backgrounds and most of the settings went back to standart. I think I'm not gonna use this Addon anymore, since the Settings won't be saved when I log out... Or is there a possibility to save them? I tried to mess around with the Profiles but it won't save anything...

How do you use the friends (social) tab with chatter? With chatter enables the icon for the social tab is gone.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Just press "O" on your keyboard to open the window.

Until a further update is released, if you're having a problem with Real ID messages being displayed, go into Chatter settings and disable the Player Names module.

Crude fix I'm going to search for a proper one later but to keep the addon working.

open Chatter/Modules/PlayerNames.lua

Put two dashes in front of line 430 and 483

430 -- local color = ("%02x%02x%02x"):format(tbl.r*255, tbl.g*255, tbl.b*255)

483 -- fakeName = "|cFF"..mod:GetColor(englishClass, true)..fakeName.."|r"

Like I said this is a very crude fix I'll look into it further but this will get you up and running.

With 4.2, Chatter isnt allowing Battle.net tells to show, only regular tells. Turned it off they show up, turned it on they dont :(
