Not showing up in the addon tab to allow you to enter your name.
This used to work just fine, until the update for War Within. Seems this xpac finally killed it
Although it still works this is a dead addon.
There is a fork which has been updated to 9.0.2 https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/name2chat

Thanks
World of Warcraft Addons menu indicates Incognito to be out-of-date but CurseForge says I have the latest version, Incognito-v1.4.1.zip. Not experiencing any problems, just an FYI.

the toc hasn't been updated since WoD...

You realize this addon was last updated in 2015, right? Do you think it is likely that the author is currently active?
In any case, it mostly works for the current version of WoW.

On Classic (can't say about Retail), Incognito has a compatibility issue with "!wb" and "!<itemlink>" notation (it breaks both of those usages). Anyone have a fix or workaround for it?
Will this ever be updated? :(
I beg of you most kind addon devs, please port this to classic?
In reply to Kelryth:
Works on Classic just fine. Just copy the folder over from _retail_/Interface to _classic_/Interface.
Is there a way to use incognito so that when I change guilds or servers I can keep the name in each one different ?
Like I use it for one server I am the GM and the other server I am the Co-GM and I would like to have it save it for each that way . Then I don't have to manually change it each time I jump from one server to the other````
.
not working please update, since patch day there has been a problem with it showing hp thanis
I can't mark the Hide name if match the current char, you click on it, it get marked, but won't save, if you press ok and back it is unchecked, any change will uncheck to..
