Posted Dec 11, 2025Since today's update I get messaged in the chat when someone whispers me through both Battle-Tag and regular characters ingame.
It looks like this, I hope it can help to check if something is wrong there:
lastTell="|Kp32|k
lastTellType:"BN_WHISPER"

Posted Dec 11, 2025In reply to RealPazza: I'm not sure what this player is referring to but latest alpha file 3.14.0-2-ga.. breaks our ability to /inv playername on Mists Classic.
Instead the addon seems to intercept the slash command prematurely and opens a frame with "Unable to shisper '%s'. Blizzard services may be unavailable"

Everytime I reply to a message in a whisper window by pressing R, it shows ''LastTell='' in my /s chat window. I don't know how to fix that. Sorry for not being clear, I thought it was a general issue.

Posted Dec 10, 2025Up until now i could open a whisper window and click a macro to send a text to the active window. Since wednesday it the text is just send to /s instead of the whisper window. any idea what changed or how to fix that?
For those asking i use it mainly to whisper folks that want something crafted. Normaly i click their name, wim window opens and i click my macro with my text and it was send to them. but now its kinda borked

I think I understand and know what might have broken that... Seems like an edge case. I will see if not fully resetting the default edit box after intercept would fix that.

Posted Dec 3, 2025can'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.
