It is possible to have chat tabs visible all time?
I would like to have chat locked but with that I'm loosing ability to switch between tabs.

It's standard WoW chat logging. You find it in Logs folder.

R211 and other recent updates are not pushing over to the Curse download site. The Download is still pushing out r206, it works, but is there a reason why the newer revisions are not available to the public? Trying to figure out whether its just a beta kind of thing or the Curse site needs a boot to the head.

Excuse my English, I'm only German :-/

That's why: Whom could I send the deDE.lua to? Sorry, but it's horrible, a bit...

i got an issue when zoning (ie after a loading screen) : the font size resets itself. i have to open the chat fong config screen, to disable et re-enable the chat font management by chatter, and everything is back. i've also set up the edit box in "free floating, locked" mode, but the position does not seem to be saved. i've tried to change it in the savedvariables/chatter.lua for the profile i'm using, but it will still be at the same pos. however, this mod is really handy, providing simple but efficient features :)
edit : found out that i had another add-on still active that was also managing the chat frames :) sorry for the inconvenient !

I love the mod, but is there anyway to get rid of the default blizzard chat bubble thing? It's sitting straight in the middle of my screen and kind of pissing me off :/

The toggle for the chat (also part chat) bubbles are in the normal interface settings.

I would love to see an option to add a spacing after time stamps, also the ability to ~not~ color the names of unknown players, so they simply blend in with the rest of the chat.

You can already add spaces; just create custom timestamp like: "%H:%M:%S " (without the quotes obviously). This will add the space at the end.

Look on http://www.lua.org/pil/22.1.html for more information on how to create your custom date display.

while the disable buttons option does remove them for the session, the single "chat bubble" icon reappears everytime upon reentering the game. is there anyway to turn this one off permanently like the up and down scroll arrows?

Is there any way to keybind channels ?
Example, bind raid chat to numpad 6, party chat to numpad 5, etc

Allows for quick switching between channels or is there another way to do that ?

Chatter has had no change in ChatLink. Do ChatLinks work for Chatter<->Chatter then you might suspect the problem originating in Prat.

This is on the todolist.

To answer your question; Yes to both; it has Copy/Paste support (button appears in the right bottom corner when you hover the chatframe to allow you to get all the text in a new window from which you then can copy/paste). And there is also a module enabling mousewheel scrolling.

This has been fixed in revision 197 iirc. If you download the latest version it should not happen.

This is default Blizzard behavior. Right click on the tab of the chat you want to move; choose 'Unlock window'. Now you can move the window about by dragging the tab. You can lock it again by right mouse, 'Lock window'.
