A big change to the Player Names module, needed with 3.2, is that class colors are now built-in, but player level is not. Chatter should let the blizz class color show through rather than trying to find it the way it has, which only worked some of the time, but attach the player's level correctly to their name when their level is known.

The chat spell-checker Misspelled works perfectly with Chatter.

How do you turn off the option where after hitting Enter it automatically brings you back to the last channel you were chatting on?

e.g. I'm chatting in /ra channel, and someone whispers me, when I hit Enter it turns into a reply to the whisper instead of /ra channel.

I tried chatter when it first came out as a replacement for prat and at the time it was lacking a bit.

I have just tried it again and I can see that it is almost what I want. I'd love to switch to chatter but there is one feature in prat which keeps me going back to it and that is the fact that I can keybind channels (Plus I can make the guild chat unsticky which for some reason you don't seem to be able to on chatter). I tend to unstick gchat and set it to shift+enter.

Will go back to prat for now.

How would you go about making the chat windows for /whispers their own individual windows? Similar to windows messenger or AIM.

Get the WoW Instant Messenger addon, it does that exactly.

Linking a quest into the general chat gives something like "{CLINK:quest:ff40c040:13187:76:The Faceless Ones}" in stead of the name of the quest to players without Chatter.
Blizz isn't supporting links in General chat so Chatter should just show the name without any linking information (CLINK).

Am i right in my assumption?

There is an annoying problem with this an i don't know how to shut it off.

When I have Chatter enabled and I type in the chat I displays my name twice.

ex. [S][Name][Name]: fdksajfskdjflka

Does anyone know so it only displays it once?

The only thing i have found, is that i am unable to copy and paste text from the chat box.

Any thoughts on what could be causing or stopping this from happening? (no error messages to indicate something is wrong).

is there anyway to make the colour of the people's name match up to the colours in game. For instance in Chatter Rogue colour is orange but in guild tab Druids are orange.

Not sure why who ever made this changed the colour code but i find it very distracting.
