Me too. The options are there but they don't seem to do anything.

I think its currently broken along with window moving around when logging in... it would also be nice if there was a way to reposition the RealID notifactions (which seem to be tied to the chatframe) through chatter, possibly with some sort of movable anchor.

The only way I could get names to colour according to class was by right clicking the chat tab > Settings (not the chatter settings). Then I checked the check-boxes for each channel to enable Blizzard's class colouring option. Modifying the chatter settings for this seem to have no effect.

Reading into it i found that since patch 3.2, class coloring in most types of chat messages is handled by the default UI and not Addons and the most recent patch may have disabled it from addons being able to do it completely.

I may be wrong, just what I found looking around the internet. But I did turn on Blizzards option for class colors and it works with this addon.

I think the reason that the chat boxes will not stay in place is that there is now an invisible barrier around the entire edge of the screen. I reduced the size of my chat boxes so that (with Align active) they were at least half a square away from the any screen edge, and this seemed to stop the issue of them moving upon logout or reload. Not a perfect solution, but should tide us over until the author can fix it

No it is working with at least one other chat mod. I'm sure it will get resolved.

I'm having the same issue as Surloyn. They are moving down and slightly to the right. Not much, but just enough to notice that they've moved, and throw off everything else.

Everything looks fine except the chat window will not move to the bottom of the screen at all. Can this not be fixed? This is a major issue....it's the reason I first ever used Chatter in the first place :(

Im not having all the edit box issues, can still move it around and lock in place, I have class colors and everything else... the only happening is that the frame locations reset on every relog. They do not reset when zoning, just if I log out and log back in...

When i mouseover an item in chat an window opens, how to disable that? The window is similar to the window that would appear when clicked an item.

I will link a picture to make my ramblings more clear.

hmm cannot see "Link Hover" option in the new version of chatter, only one close is "enable chat link", but doesnt do the trick.

A suggestion for future versions:

Now that the chat frame buttons may be more useful in the future, how about an option to scale those buttons (or create a smaller, minimalist option for the button set). My current UI hides them, but since the social button may become useful, it would be cool to have a smaller version of it that fits better into a minimalist UI.

Thank you for the great addon.
