The "you are not in a guild" happens randomly, I have seen reports of it with other mods. Not sure if it is a general problem even without a mod or not.

Im getting a problem with the chat edit box on only one of my charcaters.
When ever I log her on, the edit box is back to its default position, and I have to click on 'Free-floating' then 'Free-Floating locked' for it to move back to the place I put it in.
When I do this, I dont have to move it again, it moves itself as soon as I click 'free-floating' so it seems to remember where it should be.

Anyone else get sticky chat even when turned off? Really don't like it, though love other bits of this mod. Any ideas how to fix it?

Sticky Chat is now default for WoW itself, check the basic interface and chatbox to see if it allows it off or not.

Being able to copy text is very nice. I was wondering if you had ever considered adding an option to right click a line of text from someone and Copy it instead of having to highlight what you want copied from a text box of your entire chat frame.

Either way, great addon, ty!

Getting an error with the latest version. When I try to change glyphs I get a blizzard window saying Chatter has been blocked from an action only available to the Blizzard UI.

I'm getting the same thing when trying to set focus. I've isolated the issue to Chatter - it doesn't happen when it's disabled.

Hi, I don't know if this has been brought up before or not, but yesterday I started getting the message "You are not in a guild" when attempting to type in gchat with Chatter turned on. I disabled the mod and the problem went away. I do have the latest version of Chatter. Never had this problem before. Any idea what's causing this problem for me? I love your mod and hate not being able to use it.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT:
Trying to add a "normal" name - resulted in an "ALT+Z" (All gui elements disappeared). But the name did get in the alt list.

I installed chatter because my usual chatlogger mod broke and I saw Chatter has a logging feature. However, it logs EVERYTHING - every channel, all the time. This is better than nothing, of course, but is there any way a filter could be introduced? I know this is just one small thing out of many that Chatter does, but it's a nice mod and I'd love it if it had a filtered logging feature (like just logging /guild and /party and not every other channel).

Thanks!

Same here; I was using WoWScribe Chat Logger, but don't know if the author's going to update (they play on my server and have pretty much quit the game, with occasional brief returns). WoWScribe had a great way to only log the channels you want it to log (both defaults and customs), but Chatter doesn't seem to have such a function. I really don't need to see every wool bandage someone makes, or my own and others RSP descriptions repeated multiple times in xtensionxtooltip2 in the logs.

Is there a way to filter the channels already, or is there a way to add to that function? Otherwise, this is an excellent mod with a lot of nice features I'm enjoying.

Don't know whats going on, but hatter actual version is producing more than 20 errors per second, so buggrabber stops capturing all the time and all I get is:

120x Chatter-1.0\Chatter.lua:220: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'arg1' (a table value)

Does anyone see a social button on chatter to open up the social/friends list yet?
I'm still not seeing one and not sure if I'm overlooking it or if I need to enable/disable something.

Thanks.
