Posted Jan 29, 2026I have the following questions: is there any possibilty to set a hotkey to re-open the last whipser message? and from the chat history possible to add a right click whipser back function?

Posted Jan 27, 2026The hotkey for quick whispering back won't open the chat when i have WIM active. Looks like the game has now 2 options in the settings for that, one works (the new one), the old (my default) has no function when i load WIM. But i guess its more a bug made from Blizzard to make now 2 settings that do the same ^^

Posted Jan 24, 2026I am having a problem with WIM including up to 3.15.0 in TBC.
With certain users in my guild (at least) when I try and message them with wim active, I get a message in red from blizzard stating: Unable to whisper '%s'. Blizzard services may be unavailable.
I tracked down the culprit after enabling and testing addons one by one and WIM was the culprit.
I can even have wim addon turned on and if i go in the settings and click "Enable WIM', i get the problem and when i uncheck it, the problem goes away.

Is there any rhyme and reason for when it happens. For example, is it a cross-realm user, etc?

it forces you to do Name-server and if you remove server SOMETIMES it works but most of the time it triggers the lua error then stops working. see my photos for the report.

Posted Jan 24, 2026A version for Midnight is available at: https://github.com/Amadeus-/wow-instant-messenger (there is even a custom release on that page, 3.14.6a)
I also created a pull request for the author, should they return and want to make an official update. It also explains what was changed: https://github.com/Legacy-of-Sylvanaar/wow-instant-messenger/pull/206

Posted Jan 23, 2026The addon has stopped working for me. I just get a quick outline of a box on my screen for a second that goes away and nothing else.
