My problem is this. Sometimes it works fine but suddenly when somebody replies to a wisper I get just a strip of the left side of the box in the middle of the screen. I can't see the full box and i can't see what the person has written in the wisper. The only way I can get rid of that strip is to press esc. But I can't see the message as everytime I try to bring the window back up I get the same strip of empty box. I have WIM disabled now and am finding it hard to function without it. It's my favourite addon. It seems to happen most if i am firing up my flying mount when somebody wispers me, or in flight. Please can you help?

Make sure if you are using DBM it is updated. There was an update about 1 week ago from DBM that stopped me from seeing all outgoing tells and I could only view incoming. This affected both WIM and the vanilla WOW.

Yes, Juldrew. I'm having the same issue. Ppl are whispering me and I'm not receiving it. But, a few minutes l8r, their like, "Hello, you get my whisper"?
Had to make a macro to tell ppl my whisper addon was messed up, because it was happening so often. Right now WIM is disabled, and I'm hating life because of it! Plz fix!

I'm curious if anyone else has this Problem:
I cannot see whispers in my WIM windows from a few users. They can see my words, but theirs don't make it to my window. (they are not ignored of course)
Any idea what's that caused by?

Greetings!

I just wanted to drop a note and say that this addon freaking rocks and I can't imagine playing WoW without it! Keep up the good work Pazza and thank you for putting so much time and effort into this addon!

WIM 3.0.9 Release.

This update applies many requests that people made in regards to the new Expose feature in WIM. The border which everyone hated so much is now disabled by default. I also added an option to select which direction the animation executes.

At last, and long requested, I was able to come up with a way for the windows not to close when the world map is shown or when you are zoning in an instance. You're message windows will no longer close and will be waiting for you where you left them for when you return.

The update includes some other minor fixes which have been reported.

In regards to the resizing issue people have been I having, I will focus my efforts on resolving them in the next version. Thank's for your patience, comments and reports.

Be sure to read the change log for the complete list of updates.

No problem here when a GM talks to me... I ignore the WM chat button of blizzard, and use the WIM messenger window :)

And u can also try to be a lil more polite ;)

Latest version has problems with windows resizing - the are long and tall or wide and fat or ... there doesnt seem to be a pattern why. PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!

I ALSO agree with Midglock - the GM chat problem is really screwy and breaks things when talking to a GM.

Please remove those black borders when you enter combat... Nothing to do in a social addon like WIM, I already use omen and it's work good.

Anyway it's a good addon, so keep up the good job (and don't forget to delete those borders things :p )

When you open a GM ticket, you cannot reply to the GM that is trying to speak to you in WIM version 3.0.8. It worked in 3.0.7. In 3.0.7 the GM window would come up along with a WIM window and I actually would chat to them thru the WIM window, but with 3.0.8, the GM window will come up, the WIM window would come up, but when i try to talk to them it says "No player Named _________ is playing". I logged, disabled WIM and logged back in and whispered him. No other problems tho. Great addon!

Could you please take the dark borders and make a separate addon? Remember, if an addon does two separate things, then it should be two separate addons. A combat effect does not stack with a social chat window.

Modulate the code, modulate the intents.

I don't have an issue with it sliding out and back in when in combat. Just wish it would actually go back to where I had the window, at the moment it gets stuck near the top of the screen... I looked all over and never found any options for the slide in out thing. at least not yet... Was in a raid when I first saw it happen, didn't have a lot of time to figure it out. haven't had a chance to log in again since.

A nice feature for that would be to have it find the closest edge and slide out there. :) (or give us an option to pick the edge to use. didn't find one yet if it's there)

it's definitely not work the extra work to have it find the extra edge. when I get some time, I will add an option to let you select which direction it slides however. That is definitely a feasible request.

A couple people have reported the window not showing in the correct location. I will look into this.

/wim options then go to Expose. Change the border size to 1. That should suffice till the next version where I add an option for it.
