Would it be too much to ask for a screenshot preview?

Hi,
Is there some reason your not updating this on wowinterface any more?
I prefer to get my mods from there... if you won't be updating it there I will have to switch to something else so I just wanted to know.

Thanks,
Twidget

You can manually install mods from the Curse site here, without the need for a Curse client.

What's the reason you don't want to download from Curse, if you don't mind me asking?

IMO WoWInterface is just a better site.
*It's interface is more user friendly.
*It's categories more extensive.
*The site managers are more responsive to user suggestions.
*It's email notification for updated mods works flawlessly unlike Curse's which sometimes works but most times doesn't. Also, when you get an email from WoWInterface it state right in the subject line what was updated so you don't even have to open the mail. Curse's only says a mod has been updated but you must open the mail to find out which one.
*The WoWInterface site doesn't contain near as many ads per page as Curse. And none with mouse over pop-ups.

But as I said... this is just my opinion... to each his own.

NOTE IMPORTANTE POUR LES UTILISATEURS FRANCAIS
N'activez pas l'option "Liens du chat" cette option étant prévu pour l'affichage de liens dans des canaux personalisés rendra aussi illisibles vos liens dans le canal "/2. Commerce" et ce bug vous ne pourrez pas le constater par vous même, pour s'en rendre compte il faut qu'un joueur n'ayant pas Chatter vous contacte et vous informe que vos liens sont illisibles. J'en ai déjà informé plus d'un en jeu alors autant les informer à la source du problème ainsi l'auteur pourra corriger l'erreur.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO FRENCH USERS
Do not activate the Chatter option "Chat Link". This option usually made to display links in custom channels will display unreadable links in the capital trade channel. Your links won't be readable to other players that do not have Chatter installed and this you cannot notice it by yourself, you have to be informed by a user that do not have any Chat addon installed that your links are completely unreadable.

I do not know for other languages but this option anyway must be used with caution. Disable it prior to post in the default trade channel and enable it especially only when talking in custom channels

yup there should be no bugs at all for the English version as it is the default language but it seems the addon fails to detect the trade channel in other lang, at least in French for sure and so on it's modding links the way only ppl that have Chatter + option enabled could see this, otherwise the link is remains unreadable, caught 5 french users for now, they fixed the issue as soon as they have disabled the option

I have looked and looked but can't figure out how to change my language to my race specific. Where can I locate this?

I'm having a problem with the highlight option... it's highlighting every single channel, including channels that are used for data transmission. Is there any way to limit it to just specific channels? (All I really want highlighted is whispers and any chat that has my toon name in it)

There is an indentation problem in the current .pkgmeta. The last 2 line of externals are overindented.

URL detection is not complete. Consider the following URL:
www.net-fu.org/fdm/wow.html
This is a valid URL, but detection ends with [www.net], deciding to end on -.
See http://www.osix.net/modules/article/?id=586 for a very powerful REGEX for URL's. It might be more than you need.

:( this addon is now having issues with ignoremore... another addon.. it allows me to ignore more than 49 players, and it used to block messages coming from chatter but now it doesn't. i suspect it is this addon with the problem because it was updated more recently.

1. "Coloring by player class" doesn't work well. The player self's name sometimes won't be affected (can't figure out the rule for this.)

2. The "Raid leader" channel can't be renamed.

3. Can I disable renaming for certain channels such as whisper ?
