Posted Oct 14, 2025Hiya - It might not be on your end but I'd say about a week ago most of my Twitch Emote addons that have a gif emote stopped working properly in the WIM window.
The normal 'still' emotes works perfectly fine and the search menu works, but anything that can "move" doesnt move any longer for some reason. I tried some different things but seems like it's how WIM acts perhaps?
For info I use ElvUI and the normal chatframe works percectly fine, it's just the whisper window.
And if I get a whisper in combat that goes to the 'normal left side' windows it will be animated but anything inside the WIM window is no longer moving :)
Cheers in advance.

Posted Oct 7, 2025Hi RealPazza,
I was wondering if you were planning on any updates soon?
like bumping the toc for retail to v11.2.5 which launches/patches in today.
retail for WIM is still at 11.1.7
I just made a $10 donation hope it helps..
plus the Mists of Pandaria classic toc could use a bump too
from v5.5.0 to v5.5.1
please and thanks.

Posted Sep 29, 2025I'm having about 5-10 seconds of game freezing every time I enter my chat box or a whipser window, no matter who or which window or which channel, it's making it very hard to use

The only thing I can think of that would cause that is an REALLY large history database.... I'd consider backing it up and clearing it every so often if you need to keep everything.

Posted Sep 23, 2025After transferring from Mankrik to Galakras when I try to whisper people from the previous server it's trying to send it to TOONNAME-Mankrik. No matter what I do I cannot whisper people on Galakras if they were on Mankrik with me.

Posted Sep 7, 2025I can no longer see my messages from characters across the entire realm in WIM. I can only see the messages from the specific character I'm currently on. If that no longer works in WIM, I no longer need the add-on.

Posted May 25, 2025Is there perhaps any way for WIM to save in history emotes? Currently all it says is what is in /say but not in /emote. Very good addon otherwise!

Posted Apr 30, 2025In reply to peroditius: Ty. Yeah I just am trying not to link pets but we are all big collectors and constantly linking to each other in new pets and where they are so the 4 lines of so of numbers are making it hard to link.
