To fix the broken guild window: copy libWho-2.0 from the WIM folder to the SpamSentry folder.

I am also having this same issue. During Combat, whether I receive a new whisper or a continued conversation, the WIM frame will disappear ('cause I entered combat) and I can't get it to reappear by any means while saving the conversation. The only manner in which I have been able to get the WIM window to come back was to close the WIM frame (using the LDB menu) and start a new conversation. I love WIM, but this is really annoying. :(

I have been using this addon for years.

After the last update after combat I can not get the WIM window to come up whatsoever.

I know you stated that its not WIM causing this, but I am sure you can find a way to program around this.

If it is combat related what addon(s) are we finding that are conflicting with WIM?

Thanks in advance.

I really love the addon! I like to organise the Tell-Hell I sometimes stumble upon, lol.
Just 1 request though: 1 report button! Laterly I get whisper spams all over the place for gifts, gold vendors, fake gm's telling me I'm banned, etc etc.
There is an ignore function, but I rather report the one whispering me so GMs can ban him. And my ignorelist grows fast. But with WIM intercepting my tells, I go into some effort to report the whisperer.
So... can there be a report button please?

First, thank you for making this awesome add-on. I have one problem and one suggestion. The problem I'm having is occaisionally the windows will disappear (as they normally do when entering combat), but I cannot get them to reappear, even if I am not in combat or clicking on the windows in the minimap icon. If I close the window with the X on the minimap, I can then reopen them. Started happening in the new version. I am not sure if it happened in 3.3.2, as I didn't raid while I had that version installed.

The suggestion I have is would it be possible for Raid Warnings to be included in the Raid window? Often times our RL will use RW to say what items are to be looted. I would say that they shouldn't be suppressed, but just logged in the Raid tab as a message is.

Thanks again!

I have the same problem with the window disappearing.
It always happens after a while, seems random.

If i press R to reply for the latest message I can tpye it and send it but i cant see the window itself.
I can also hear the sound when i get message from the same person but no window.

Usually it happens with one person only, whispering to others windows work properly.

This is the same error I keep getting, only when there's an incoming message though. I've actually have to disable this awesome addon because the error was causing me to miss messages. :(

Is it possible to import your own sounds for use, when sending or recieving whispers?

Any addon which contains sound files and uses SharedMediaLib can be accessed by WIM in the sound preferences. If you want to just change one sound, i recommend overwriting the one packaged with WIM. just remember it gets restored when you update.

If I have all mods enabled except WIM, I have no problems. If I have WIM enabled and nothing else, I have no problems. When I have all mods enabled including WIM, I have major /who problems, lol. What can I do? I love this addon.

For those of you having problems with your who window popping up, please make sure that the problem still exists with only WIM loaded (all other addons disabled). A library WIM uses, libWho-2.0 was recently updated with an important fix. Any addon using an older version will very likely cause this problem. Seek the conflicting addon and contact the author to update their addon with a refreshed version of libWho.

Thank you.

I would like to use this as my standard chat window, but it doesn't seem to want to recognize /slash commands, or accept server messages? Is there a way to enable this?

Thanks!

I am seeing a very similar issue (can see the guild MotD and change to Zone, but can't sort the guild member list.) I tried disabling everything except WIM and it worked fine then, so it appears it is a conflict with another addon that appeared in the current (3.3.3) version. Haven't determined which one, however.

Ever since the last update, my guild social tab doesn't work properly. I can't see the guild message of the day unless I reload my UI and I can't sort the guild list. When I click say "zone" it does not auto update. I need to close the window and then reopen for it to properly sort. I disabled WIM and the tab works perfectly. Is this a known issue?

After a lot of relogging, I found that this problem occurs when SpamSentry and WIM are enabled.
