WowAce

After I mentioned my wife not having any problems, I decided to experiment a little with re-stacking the windows and moving/resizing.  

If I have the 2 main windows stacked AND at default size, I can move them and the new position will be saved across sessions.  If I re-size the stacked windows, but don't move them, the size is -not- saved, but the position is.  If I re-size AND move the stacked windows, then it goes back to the last position where it was saved at normal size.  All these results are repeatable and I would be happy to send screen shots if it would help.

I don't want to be a pest, but I want to help if I can.

That makes sense, but somehow the re-sized windows are not being saved.  My wife is also using the add-on, and the only thing different between my set up and hers, is that she has Chat windows 1 & 2 stacked, and I keep mine unstacked.  I don't know if that could be pertinent, but I thought you should know.

I love this add-on and I will be donating something to the project on payday this Friday.

I don't mean to beat a dead mule, but I just re-read my other post and realize that it might be unclear.  So if it will help I just wanted to reiterate what I did to try to help.

1.  Turned off all add-ons except Chatter.
2.  Closed WoW
3.  Copied the \WTF\Account\MyUserName\SavedVariables\Chatter.lua to a new file.
4.  Opened WoW and with all other add-ons still off, changed 2 channel names and resized both chat windows 1 & 2.
5.  Closed WoW
6.  Copied the \WTF\Account\MyUserName\SavedVariables\Chatter.lua to another new file.
7.  Compared the 2 copied files.  The channel name changes were reflected in the second file, the window changes were not.  

If there's anything at all I can do to help track down the problem I'd be happy to.  I'd also be happy to send any copies of files, or test any new builds.

Thanks again for an awesome mod.

BTW - I notice that the addons that Pseudopath and I have in common are Bagnon, Gatherer, & Recount.

I am also having the issue where it won't save the window size from one session to the next.  I checked for read-only attribute, no file under the WTF directory is read-only.

My regular addons are

AHsearch
Armory
   ArmoryGuildBank
Bagnon
   Bagnon_Config
   Bagnon_Forever
   Bagnon_Options
   Bagnon_Tooltips
Chatter
CrapAway
EasyAuction
ES_GuildCheck
   ES_GuildCheckGUI
Gatherer
   Gatherer_HUD
   GathererDB_Wowhead
IgorsMassAuction
Mapster
Recount
TomTom

However, I disabled all other addons and the problem persists.  I have two profiles (PetBar & NoPetBar) and I want all of my toons to use one or the other.  But so far both profiles rubber-band back to the original settings.

I checked the LUA file at \WTF\Account\MyUserName\SavedVariables\Chatter.lua and changed some settings then logged out and looked for the changes.  The items I changed were reflected here EXCEPT the border movements.  Before and after the changes, the border section of the .lua reads like this:

        ["Server Positioning"] = {
            ["profiles"] = {
                ["NoPetBar"] = {
                    ["windowdata"] = {
                        {
                            ["xOffset"] = -0.1302569955587387,
                            ["point"] = "BOTTOMRIGHT",
                            ["yOffset"] = 0.1239020004868507,
                        }, -- [1]
                        {
                            ["xOffset"] = 0.1512300074100494,
                            ["point"] = "BOTTOMLEFT",
                            ["yOffset"] = 0.1676490008831024,
                        }, -- [2]
                    },
                },
                ["Default"] = {
                    ["windowdata"] = {
                        {
                            ["xOffset"] = -0.1302569955587387,
                            ["point"] = "BOTTOMRIGHT",
                            ["yOffset"] = 0.1239020004868507,
                        }, -- [1]
                        {
                            ["xOffset"] = 0.1512300074100494,
                            ["point"] = "BOTTOMLEFT",
                            ["yOffset"] = 0.1676490008831024,
                        }, -- [2]
                    },
                },
                ["PetBar"] = {
                    ["windowdata"] = {
                        {
                            ["point"] = "BOTTOMRIGHT",
                            ["height"] = 116.7492119062482,
                            ["width"] = 426.749300610506,
                            ["xOffset"] = -0.1326378659696285,
                            ["yOffset"] = 0.1277115244194925,
                        }, -- [1]
                        {
                            ["point"] = "BOTTOMLEFT",
                            ["xOffset"] = 0.1512300074100494,
                            ["yOffset"] = 0.1676490008831024,
                        }, -- [2]
                    },
                },
            },
        },

So somewhere the border changes I make are not being saved, but the other changes are.

My humble suggestion would be to add a save button to the Profiles page and we could proactively save the profile when we make changes we want to keep.

Hope some of this helps.

I can't seem to copy the prfile of my main to my alts, I have to set them all manually? Is this broken and if so , can it be fixed?

sry my bad english :)

Hey there! Love this addon so much, best Chat mod out there. :)

Unfortunately, I'm also experiencing the problem where it resets to default positions every login or UI reload. It does not matter if the server positioning option is enabled or not.

I was wondering why you cant choose to make guild and party chat sticky? (theres no check boxes for guild nor party :( ) And could you PLEASE make it able to be :) Thank you in advance

Should be easy: open chatter settings, look in the column on the left, scroll down to "timestamps" and click it. Then uncheck "enable timestamps" on the right side.

is there a way to take off the time in the chatbox whenever someone says something ???

Like Funcoflipper I have problems with the chat frames positions, I've been trawling the internet for details of this chat frame issue. And with or without the "Enable Server Positioning" checked I am unable to keep my chat frames position/size. Not the worst issue more annoying to be honest but the only one currently niggling on my UI.

- Pseudopath.

I'm getting LUA errors every time I try to work with profiles. Otherwise, excellent add-on.

I am still desperately trying to get the chat size and position to stay where I want. Every time I log back in, the box has changed size to what it wants.

Should "Enable Server Postioning" be checked or not?

How can I get it to stay in the lower left corner, at the size I want?

Hey, thanks for this great addon, I am just wondering how I can remove the combat history tab. As the other tabs I have the option to remove, but not this one.

Thank you so much for your work on this! Alt linking is working now, woo!

Currently I have Automatically Whisper Window ticked.
Just wondering if chatter is able to make whispers showing in both general tab and the whisper tabs.
Currently, whispers are only showing in the whisper tabs.
Thanks.
