WowAce

There's an error when you want to target players through the '/who' menu or through the chat. It makes you disable the whole addon in order to be able to do so.

Please fix this.

i can't click on people names from chat to whisper them or items on chat

the normal whisper is fine, however the bnet whisper still doesn't work

Hmm, for the past few months my custom filter was running perfectly, outputting messages to my default chat seen here: http://i.imgur.com/hmlg3eF.png

But then my game disconnected and now it's outputting my custom filter as this: http://i.imgur.com/eTRpfgG.png. The tooltip for output says it favors scrolling text addons, but this has never happened before, and I don't believe I have a scrolling text addon.

Anyone have a similar issue, or have any ideas what may have caused that? 

EDIT: Just updated to the latest version and restarted WoW and it fixed it, that was seriously odd...

It's still 'somewhat' broken, if you have the option "show character names instead of RealID" enabled, then:
» if person is on a character

    -- it works just fine

» if person is not on a character (simply logged in b.net/playing other b.net games)

    -- then his RealID is omitted (i'm guessing since the addon is just not seeing a character - it doesn't display any name whatsoever)

le screenshot with the particular option (prat updated to latest version just before logging in) on/off/on/off again

I am still unable to see battle.net whispers, although character whispers are coming through.

My Prat just got updated via Curse client and whispers are working again! Thank you for updating it :-).

Is prat getting fixed or nah? It has been broken for a week now

It's fixed, has been since the r1001 Alpha which has been available since March 23rd, 2016 and in the new 3.6.8 version which is now available! There were a number of previous comments advising people about the r1001 Alpha!

Nobody gives a fuck about your alphas, proper release or gtfo.

Really? Alpha's are the versions where things are tested to make sure nothing else gets broken! Better tell Blizzard that Alpha's aren't allowed and that they must, therefore, release Legion tomorrow!!!!!!!!!

In reality, if you don't like it, don't use it! No-one's holding a gun to your head to force you to use something that is being provided for FREE! But by all means, feel free to create, release and maintain your own addon at any time!

People need to chill. The developer doesn't owe you anything. It will be fixed when it's fixed and complaining like an entitled child doesn't make it go any faster. 

i accidently discovered Possible Names.

What is this?

Latest release has caused significant lockups.  Not related to whisper bug.  Could be minding my own business, just walking along, and game would freeze.

No error messages.

The whispers bug is the WORST bug I have seen in years I have been playing this game. It completely breaks chat for the entire game while it is SILENT on top! Either curse being slow or the devs of this being slow did a major mistake about it.

Why the hell is the whispers fix in alpha only? The bug completely breaks chat. Either curse did a major mistake or you.

Settle t'f down. Shit break when Blizzard releases an update to the game.

Just update it by the Alpha version. I have no other bugs, so it's fine

Wah!
