I am working on a new UI for Cataclysm, and was just wondering if this addon has the ability to move the chat tabs to the bottom of the chat window? (I saw an UI that had that, and Chatter was one of the addons listed)

Is there anyway to get "Highlight" to stop monitiring a specific channel? I've got IRP addon and keep getting spammed by the channel that uses.

I get the following error when I right click a channel and 'move to new window'. The new window opens, but it's a copy of the 'General' tab.

Just loaded Chatter, pretty cool addon. However, I am missing the social button in top left corner of chat window without addon. Is this feature gone with chatter or am I not finding it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you "just loaded" addon, there's no excuse for you to skip addon configuration.
Go back and configure addon before reporting any problem with it.

I don't think there's a problem, I'm trying to say I don't know how to configure properly. Looking for some assistance to configure the social button.
Thanks

I do not see a way to show the social button unless you show all the buttons.

Could you make the names in battle net whispers be in different colors, similar to regular whispers, party, guild, trade etc. Would be awesome if you could add this. Also thanks for an awesome addon (:

I would just like to say that I have had no issues with this addon since the fix back in v1.2.9. But then again, I use my own custom UI and select addons so I do see a few postings here that could be related to conflicting addons. Great addon, thanks!

You know, I see so many people complaining about addons yet when it does work, or is fixed by the author, barely anyone appreciates that and doesnt take time to tell the author "good job" or even "thanks". Im sure those people wouldnt say crap if they had to write the addon!
