Not sure what you are talking about?
is there some sort of ReadMe file or somewere i can find how to do things? im mainly looking for a way to copy and link items without having to link it each time whne trying to buy sell or trade
Does anyone know if the message broadcasting for >Char Name< to Mik's is fixed yet? And how do I get my [ ] back on real names? like it used to say [Joe Schmo] [Charname] now it says Joe Schmo [Charname]? I tried to turn it off and back on and it doesnt add them. Thanks
is possible to use highlights without SCT on? i'm sure i was able to a wile ago but now don't seem to work
How is this configurable? I can't find a minimap button, it doesn't appear under addons, and there's no guide to what console commands open up options {"/chatter" doesn't work). All this talk of 'options' and 'toggles' and all I can use is the default settings.
It IS installed, I just got the auction "ding-ding-ding!" when I got a cross-faction /thanks from another player.
And lo, as this message procedes to go unnoticed as the many below mine do.
Hi mate, thanks for the best chat addon out there!
I wonder if you have any plans to make chat tabs more configurable?
I would love to be able to change the font and font size of them.
Great addon, but I do not see a the button for friends? I looked in the settings and could not find an option for that button. Any help?
Came here with the same thought. There was an option for hiding side buttons, but it seems broken, or i haven't noticed any difference on/off.
Hope to see a fix soon :D
came here looking for the same thing, found the disable buttons option and messed around with it for a while. not sure what i did but after a couple UI reloads the social, emote, and scroll arrow buttons are now there on the left side. try different combinations of clicking, unclicking, and reloading. now that i check the settings the button i see the diable box is unclicked, but it took me a few tries for it to work. hope this helps :)
Hello! Minor bug report:
The Timestamp enabled setting does not seem to work across profiles. I have it unselected on my shared profile, and every new character, I have to set shared profile, then select to enable timestamp and then disable it again, for the setting to work :) All other settings seem to work fine though! good work! actually, excellent work!
I'm having an issue since updating. When in battlegrounds on instance chat, sometimes people's messages get cut off at a certain letter or even get cut off in the middle of the player's name. When that happens I just see blank space for the remainder of the line where there should be text. If their message happens to carry over to a second line, then I can see the remainder of their message. Quite odd.
Cheers!
Channel flashing is still happening even when disabled. Just FYI. :)
Any chance of looking at whats causing the taint, when receiving whispers?
If i need to switch glyphs / talents, and i have received a whisper since logging in, i have to reload. I can then immediately change glyphs / talents with no issues, but if i receive a tell before making the switches, the taint occurs again and i am forced to reload again.

Are you serious about this change?
Sounds for channelshighlights still not working. Just an fyi not a complaint. ^.^
Any way to get the Tabcomplete fuction to work properly for instances?
Since 5.1 I'm no longer able to get scrolling combat text messages that have my name in them. Previously I'd have them show up highlighted similar to how you see them in the chatbox. I'm not sure if this is a problem with my scrolling combat text mod (MSBT) or with Chatter, as Chatter is required for it to flag the messages, and MSBT is required for me to see the scrolls so I can't isolate it.
any idea yet on why the highlight's arent working any more ? shame that was the best part i liked about this addon !
I don't run this addon anymore because it is missing. I see no replies whatsoever to the issue. An "I'm working on it" or "can't be fixed" would be nice for those who take the time to post here for developer feedback.
Note, the fix isn't mine. It was posted by zerokoolin on wowace.com
