When I right click the tab (like I did a million times before Chatter), now nothing happens. At all. I can't find the menu anywhere to unlock the chat window. Any idea why?

I seem to be having an issue with Timestamps. I have enabled the module, and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I've tried resetting the format to various formats, and it just doesn't seem to "take."

Could you give a bit more details? Which chat windows have problems with timestamps? Regular chat, custom tabs, combatlog, or maybe just all of them?

/chatter -> Modules -> Edit Box Polish -> tick 'use Alt key for cursor movement'

That turns the default behavior back on.

While I have looked for the option to turn arrow keys off ( I use them to move, I don't like using the mouse), I haven't been able to find it. Any assistance is appreciated.

Thank you for the addon and the updates to it! I praise your hard work.

Thank you. That worked. I kept looking for something that said "arrow keys" specically. Thank you again. :)

Is this issue still occurring? If so, could you please make a ticket on: http://www.wowace.com/projects/chatter/ to describe the problem in a bit more detail?

If you can manually trigger the error that would even be more helpful in order to debug it. If you are making a ticket please also let us know what locale your client is in, as I suspect this might be caused by replacing parts of UTF8 multi-byte characters.

Everything was ok with this addon, the first days but now, after 2-4 minutes in game, I got this message :
"Interface\Addons\chatter\modules\chatlink.lua:62SendChatMessage(): Chat message must be UTF-8 Text"
When it occurs, I can't do anything but disconnect :/ Any idea ? (I've tried with the lastest release)

None of my global channels are showing up in the chat window or in the settings window where you select global channels. LocalDefense and WorldDefense will still spam but I cannot see messages in any other channel.

Hi there - I am unable to use the copy chat feature. Don't know how to access it or if it is implemented? If I remember correctly we could right click a player's name and there was a copy text option. That isn't appearing at the moment (build 205).

Nice work though, definitely prefer this to prat.

To use the copy chat, hover your mouse in the lower right corner of the chat frame until you see a face icon. Thne click it.

My plugins are just the standard Titan ones; I didn't add anything else.

I'll see if I can figure out how to provide a server time option.

Chatter specifically doesn't touch the combat log for performance reasons. There's so much churn in it that hooking into it and modifying the output can be a pretty severe performance drag in raid combat.

After Cosmos died I was looking for a replacement to be able to copy chat to the system clipboard. I wasn't going to try this one because I didn't know what it would do but when I finally noticed Antiarc is the author I tried it out. GREAT options, thanks!

Does anyone know if there is a way to set Chatter so it stamps the server time instead of the local time? And less important to me, is there a way to set it to time stamp the Combat Log entries?

Actually. It appears this addon is conflicting with Titan Panel...whenever I have Titan loaded, it resets Chatter's settings. Without Titan, the settings save.

Could you PLEASE make the options less complicated, there are unnecessary options everywhere and most of them are pointless. These should be standard and easy to find:

1. Changing the size of the window
2. Changing the font
3. Changing the location of the window - maybe add a lock/unlock option?

Thankyou =)

1) Blizzard buildin (right click on the 'general tab' and unlock; drag edges)
2) Module called 'Chat Font'; not that hard to find.
3) Blizzard buildin (see 1 and then drag the window)
