Just in case anyone else didn't know, I manually downloaded the latest from here and once i dropped it into my classic addons folder it showed up in the twitch mods section, i didn't know it would do that so hopefully it will keep it up to date :D

Works fine for me.
Please check your settings and AddOns that might interfere.

I had an issue where my own text in whisper history was being saved, but not other people's. I downloaded the newest version of WIM, but the issue stills persists. Is there some network reason this is could be happening?

WIM history is working fine for me, I need you to provide more information.

First, please check your message history settings in WIM's config.

Please ensure you have the lua error display enabled or using an Addon like BugGrabber + BugSack.

/run SetCVar("scriptErrors", 1); ReloadUI()

My Add-On list reports the WIM is up to date for WoW version 3. ??

I know there have been updates MUCH MUCH more recently that version 3. ??

Is that an error on Twitch

Should we ignore that or does it deserve some attention on our part?

It's simply bugged atm.
e.g. it shows 5.1.0 for VuhDo.

Just ignore it and if you want to check manually, simply use the file repository which shows the correct number.

Hey, love the addon been using since... cna't remember, forever? 1 major flaw that I find in it is the inability to report whispers. Because after they leave the party the only other way is to right click the chat and with the WIM I can only ignore. Would love to have a report button ASAP:x best wishes.

You can initiate reports via right clicking the player's name in your WIM chat window.
The report system will be changed with 8.2 which should offer a easier/better integration.

Been using this addon since Wrath, couldn't imagine playing without it. It's essential!

Please would you be able to add support for WoW Community group chat?

Due to limited time, I can only answer with a definitive maybe.

This feature was requested since BfA beta and it's quite some work.

So it might take some time to see it implemented.

WIM hasn't worked for me since 3.7.21 - all subsequent builds, including 3.7.22, produce the same errors: when I click on a RealID name, the WIM window appears but when I type into the window and send, nothing appears. The sound works and I can hear that the whisper was sent and I hear the sound when the person I whispered to replies. I get a blank LUA error screen when I first send the message.

Again, version 3.7.21 works fine for me, so going back to that for now.

In reply to mcaoifeda:

If you receive an empty LUA error message this might be caused by an error in the WhisperEngine.

The window is empty because the error report contains RealID information which is not allowed to be presented in any insecure way.

This however makes trouble shooting extremely hard.

Could you please try the following:

1. Get the latest alpha and test if the error still occurs

if so,
2. Go to the WIM options (/wim) and in the main options, click Message Formatting and uncheck the box labeled Display Emoticons.
Do a reload (logout or via /run ReloadUI() ) and test if you can see whispers again.

Sorry, I didn't see your post until after 3.7.23 had already been released - and that version seemed to work as it should.

I see there's a new alpha out - I'll try that and see if there are any bugs....

Thanks for all you do!

Even after the last update I'm still getting this Error. Happens when I do Shift+r, or even try to reply to a whisper. Also sets the focus to the chat window, rather than a WiM window.

In reply to Swarfy:

Are you sure you updated to 3.7.20 or newer?
Because there is no way you can get a nil error at that part of the code anymore.

Thank you so very much for the latest update. I know it takes a lot of work to keep these up and that you have other things to do!

Thank you a lot for your kind words.
The 3.7.20 release should be available now.

Please leave a comment or create a ticket if there is anything not working as intended.
