WIM is broken atm, cannot send or receive whispers on 11.2.7.

can't whisper people on bnet, I suspect it's because WIM is trying to whisper their player name (without -realm after), or using their battletag. Doesn't give a LUA error just gives a "no player-name exists" message that you get if you try and whisper a name that isn't online or that doesn't exist.

Yea not getting whispers either, usually gives me LUA errors whenever I get one.

can seem to get messages from anyone

If you have TRP and are having issues, I've found a workaround. Go into TRP, Settings> Modules> Chat frames, click the red button ("options") and disable Chat Frames. It seems to make the errors stop for right now. If you don't have TRP, I'm afraid idk what to do.

Since the 11.2.7 update, I've been getting an error when trying to message friends on my Battletag friends list. It states "No player named 'xyz' is currently playing." I've disabled the addon and the messages send without an issue. I can receive messages from them, but not send or reply to messages.

currently seems to be an issue as of the update, where I can't receive msgs, only send

I don't have the error handy, but the window handler is throwing an error anyone time someone completes a quest for me - freezing the game momentarily.

Something along the lines of:

any reason addons like Twitchemotes (and emote addons in general) is no longer properly displaying in the new versions?

Havent worked since 3.12.17.

can't right click whisper window but if i back up to previous version all is well.

11.2.7 is not interactive on the windows, right click on user you cannot invite them to grp etc. You can do this in 11.2.5 when downgrading

Just so you know, BugSack is saying WIM is throwing out nil values like crazy when I look at the calendar while using WIM.

In reply to Taluwen: I'm also getting this error very often (anytime someone completes a quest)

Hiya - 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.

When I log in or after the loading screen, I freeze for 1-2 minutes, and this has been happening since Shadowlands.
