I love this AddON and am disappointed I cannot use it now because it is broken.
Is there any possibility of posting a list of fixes/changes of the new versions in the description? This way those of us waiting for a stable version will know if the issues have been fixed.

Thanks for the great AddOn!

doing /w battle.netname no longer brings up a tab window but if you do /w charname it functions

/inv also does not work with char or battle name

The URL Copy does not work. It pops up the box, but its empty and the Close button for it is about 6 inches below the box.

Wow, the just released version locked up my mail with over 2,000 lua errors. Love this addon, looking forward to seeing it up and running again.

if i disable buttons and then enable them, the social button does not reappear. in fact, sometimes the scroll buttons will not reappear wither. the social button is the one which lists friends and guild members and is located above the chat button.

<3 Chatter! But broken unfortunately. I also use ForteXorcist, and any time I want to use the Spell Timer it completely goes black on the GUI for FX when I scroll down. After testing I found disabling Chatter fixed the problem. I have other LUA's popping up as well. I realize this particular error may be FX, but wanted to let you know jic.

Looking forward to an update, thank you! :D

Nice AddOn, thank you! :)

Is it possible to hide the channel name?
Instead of "[2. trade]" I would prefer simply "[2]" to save line space.

I looked throughout the config, but could not an option for it.

You are friggin' awesome with updating this mod and keeping us from having to deal with the horror of the WoW chat window.

I had already updated Chatter and when I logged on I couldn't find the social window. I asked a guildie if anyone knew where it was and was told that it's now a button on the WoW chat window.
Chatter doesn't seem to have a way of accessing the social window yet. Is this just an oversight and will it be added soon?

Thanks again.

2 issues:

1) How do I turn off the Real ID broadcast showing up next to a players name in chat? This functionality is driving me insane.

2) Linking is no longer working for me with the latest version. I can't click on linked items, achievements etc and nothing comes up when I mouse over them. I also can't click on a players name to reply to them anymore.

Suggestions?

Turns out when installing the new version, the chat window had become non-interactive so issue #2 resolved.

Still need help with #1! :)
