Cross faction communication is against WoW TOS. Thus this option will never be instituted.

I like this Addon, but have a question about it.
Is it possible to turn off the regular chat and use this one instead ? (like Bartender does with Blizzard Castbar area.
Is it possible to lock the Chatboxes somewhere on screen ??

Thanks. Finmakin (hellfire)

Please consider adding a sort of answering machine functionality. It doesn't need to playback a automated message, but when you're AFK and the game auto logs out, it's nice to see who sent you messages while you were AFK and what they were.

I love this addon, but patches have a nasty habit of wiping all of my history and resetting my settings. Could you tell me where the logs are kept so I can make copies before they go? 3.3.3 was the 3rd or 4th time this has happened.

Thank you for the addon by the way =).

Love this addon, been using it for about 2 years now, and haven't had a problem til it's latest update (3.3.3). Every time I get an incoming whisper, swatter pops with an error saying:
Message: ...s\WIM\Libs\LibChatHandler-1.0\LibChatHandler-1.0.lua line 227:
attempt to call method 'GetName' (a nil value)

Resulting in the whisper being blocked. Not sure of the background /who is causing it, but would be my first guess given the "GetName" line.

Anyone know where I can change the coding to resolve this?

This may not be the right answer, but did you make sure you don't have some sort of weird filter setup under Whispers > Filtering?

This addon right now is very buggy and causes conflicts with pretty much everything.

why are you spamming that message into all the addon pages. It makes no sense and doesn't pertain to this addon. Don't post unless you have something productive to add or need help with your download....*spammers*

I love this addon. I have had an issue lately though. I lose my wim windows after I leave a dungeon. I can hear whispers coming in but can't see them anywhere. It only corrects after I log off and back in. After the latest patch for some reason it is worse and just comes and goes at random. I have manually removed it from the folder and reinstalled it several times without luck. I totally wiped my UI and my wtf files thinking it was possible a wow issue with no changes. HELP! I must chat! LOL

It does this sometimes for me too. I saw that there was a dot at the bottom of the screen that when I moused over it it said 'click to resize WIM window'. Try looking for the dot.

Very nice i always use this HOWEVER there are a few things that would make it even better in my opinion just small irritations.

1.) you know how when you go into a fight and it minimizes, and re-sizes after you exit combat? you should make it do the same for opening/closing map, because I open map and it minimizes, when i close map it won't re size...
___________________________________
2.) would be GREAT to add an addon to have liek 1 chat window you can minimize/resize that comes built into it as an option to open for Both Group chat, and Guild chat, to have those 2 windows that way I can have them open all the time, to easily see what people say.
___________________________________
I will post another reply when I think of any more helpful addons, hope that isn't too much to ask :P just it would really spice this mod up some more.

Damn i have a strange problem with this addon.. It works fine,no errors popups etc.. Just the problem is when i link achiev or items to my friends... It seems like bugging.. FOr example i link 2 achievs.. the only thing that addon send and show is one achiev linked twice... Also when i try to link (example) tailoring recipe + mats.. It shows only tailoring recipe ,all my words and mats that i linked gone... Something is rly bad happening with this addon.. For now it works only for chating and for nothing else :(
