Any fix on Chatter giving an error whenever you try to change notes in the Guild UI - something about Chatter being blocked from action only available to Blizzard UI."
Why has Chatter as long as it has existed never had the ability to move the frame where we type in to say above the chatframe?
In reply to fittetwitch:
you mean the editbox? you can move it, go to chatter settings and look at editbox polish

In reply to Forge_User_52088463:
also i cant remove the border from the editbox
I moved from Prat3 and there's only one thing Im missing. I'd like to use just arrow keys instead of alt+arrows for edit box history.
In reply to Durdanius:
it's about to get use to it. better to teach your self without any additional addons, because when Blizz decide to break something hard - you won't need to get used with the new ones ;) btw ... i'm here just because i'm (was) a Prat user as well ;)
In reply to Durdanius:
another thing missing is the share to twitter button when you obtain an item or achieve . or take a screen shot
Can you do it for classic? Please.
Doesn't work with links for the communities feature. Blocks the user from being able to join them.
This seems to not be working on classic, the chat box shows but nothing anyone says appears in it.
Does this addon not work with elvui?
Can we get a TOC update so Blizzard doesn't scream at us that Chatter is out of date?
I'm getting an error screen now when ever I try to use a certain quest item. It states that chatter is the problem, say i need to use a stick to whip a gnome, and the stick icon is in my quest log on screen. It won't let me use the item in the quest log but if i take the item out of my bag and put in my action bar it works. I disable chatter and it works fine...
Great addon!
Can we get an option to auto-fade the background, so it goes semi-transparent until the mouse moves over it?
Rightclicking names returns this error:

In reply to vladbarradio:
I'm also getting this issue. Does anyone know how to fix this?
In reply to jmbwithcats:
The problem is with the "AltNames.lua". I didn't really use any of those features personally so I simply blocked that module from being loaded at all.
Edit the "modules.xml" file in the chatter addon folder.
Comment out the line that reads:
<Script file="Modules\AltNames.lua" />
By changing it to:
<!-- <Script file="Modules\AltNames.lua" /> -->
Then save your modules.xml file and load up your game. The right click bug won't bother you anymore.
I realize this is a bit of a shotgun approach to fixing the problem, but since I didn't really care about the features of that module, it seemed the simplest fix to me.

There are 2 fixes for this:
- The easiest method is; typing /chatter ingame and disabling the "Alt linking" module by unchecking the box, this will however disable the entire module.
- The slightly harder method is; navigating to World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\Addons\Chatter\Modules and editing the file "Altnames.lua". You have to remove the line #219 that states "Dist = 0,". This should allow the "Alt Linking" module to remain functional, but without the error messages. However if Chatter gets updated, and the creator doesn't fix this error himself, you have to retake this step.
