wow-instant-messenger

WIM (WoW Instant Messenger) is a World of Warcraft addon which brings an instant messenger feel to communication in game.

Features

Whispers in their own windows.
Chat in their own windows.
Tabbed windows
Highly configurable.
History
Copy and paste as:
- Raw Text
- BBCode
- Advanced, intellectual window behaviors & animations.
- Skins
- Emoticons
- Clickable web URLS for easy viewing. No more retyping a long url a friend sends you.
- Customizable sound options.
- Expose - great way to clear your screen of windows when you are in combat.

Known Issues

Addons can not process messages while chat is in lock down. To get around this, WIM logs all events and then rebuilds and processes them once you have excited lock down. During this time, chat is routed as normal to the default chat frame so you don't miss anything. Unfortunately, /r and similar keybindings to reply during this time will NOT work. Allowing the default chat frame to handle these events cause severe tainting issues and breaks everything.
Community Chat is now supported. It comes with limitations though because the sender name and message are protected and can not be read by addons or saved.
- No filtering
- No History

Addon Compatibility: (Always make sure you are running the latest versions.)

Gah proper annoying - WIM is somehow Blocking the Broadcast system for REAL ID but is not producing any errors to post here for you.
I <3 the Braodcast system as i have many friends on many servers it would truly suck to not have to be able to use WIM anymore due to this issue.

May resort to trying a previous updated version.

Thank you again for the update but I still can't use a macro to whisper people in game. if i use "/w joeblow hello" the window pops up for joeblow but the message doesn't. this worked pre R~ID not a major issue but some DKP and karma mods use a whisper system and its nice to use a macro and not have to turn off wim for raids.

I'm having a problem with this.. Never had it before but I cant link my achivements to people. In some way WIM blocks that ability.

Causes my friends list to say "Battle.net unavailable" and none of my friends are visible. I am having to play with WIM disabled so I can have my friends list.

Real-ID does not work, at least not on EU servers.
I know many ppl that use WIM, and they all (like me) have problems with Real-ID, when WIM is activated.

Please correct this, because WIM is by far the best whisper addon in WoW!

Ty!

Hi!

I could use a button where it was possible to report a person to blizzard.
Many ppl use whispers to spam and do other iritating things, and sometimes it would be nice to have the ability to report them!

ty!

I have a problem with mine - occasionally when I send msgs and then close the window, and i get a new message but the font color is way darker. I have a screenshot to show you what i mean - how do I submit it

Doing this for me as well. WIM has a function that checks for the location of players that have it, right? Could it be doing it without being asked for some reason?

I was the first one that downloaded the 3.3.3.7 build. And i found a little thing that u maybe have missed, the invite to party button. It does not try to invite the current character the player playing if i have them on my real-ID list, it try to invite IRL-name :)
Keep it up man, i like ur work!
