Grab the zip from the source page on github

Just tested and seems to work, for some reason it looks like curse isnt showing the latest code changes here
In reply to zulunia:
This didn't work for me
In reply to zulunia:
This worked for me but it's definitely not perfect, the separate tab still comes up in my chatbox even with no messages in it. Still, I'll take it for the time being. Thanks!
