I liked in the 2.4.3 version that we could read our chat history with people regardless of what alt we were on (in the actual whisper window). Please bring that back :( I have a lot of characters so this was really useful for me. Also...I have no idea how to even access my chat history with people anymore. Like in the last version there was a list of players that I'd chatted with and I could view the whole saved history in a popup.

I used to be able to view the preview of my combined history in the WIM window though... and not by what character it was on... so basically I could read all of my characters past whispers with a single person in my window and in my history..

I wanted to add in my 2 cents worth of thanks for bringing this addon into the new patch, I would hate to play without it. And I have read that tabbed browsing is coming back and can't wait for it either =)

I did want to leave a mention of an issue with WIM that you're prolly aware of but was curious if it was something that was fixable with an 'upcoming revision?' Right now, if I get a new whisper, WoW totally freezes up for a good 2-3 seconds. When I shift-drag cascaded windows to make the tabs appear, more often than not, while switching from one tab to the other, will also cause WoW to freeze up for 2-3 seconds. Lastly, sometimes when closing a tab (right clicking it) the game will once again freeze up for 2-3 seconds. Naturally this can make having multiple conversations extremely difficult. So I wanted to put that forward, in case it hadn't already been said, since I'm sure it can be fixed seeing as how WIM pre-patch was running smooth as a baby's bottom.

Oh, dunno if this was intentional or not, but did the strata of the WIM windows change? I keep my window in the bottom right corner more or less and pre-3.0 when I opened my bags, they would appear above WIM which was great, but now WIM seems to have a really high strata. Any chance a feature to select your own preferred strata could be added in? Or just having a really low one to begin with so it's under the bags?

Thanks for reading and looking forward to every new patch you put out.

Would love to see a change so that the user had to click the text area of a message in order to respond. Often I find myself walking and getting a message - by the time I let go of wasd the box is filled with letters that I have to backspace.

I used tabbed messages too, and miss that feature. Can it be re-implemented?

WIM not only crashes WoW for me on window minimization but, every time a new window is created, all of WoW freezes for a good 2-3 seconds. Auctioneer's not even this bad at the finish of an entire Auction House scan for me and I'm almost certain that Auctioneer deals with an exponentially larger amount of information than WIM.

Also, add my vote to the "Give me my tabs back please!" petition.

If there is someway to make it so you can disable the minimize animation via an option that would fix many of the god awful problems this once great addon is currently having. As well as a tabbing option as well, rather than having it ultra hidden by needing to drag windows over each other

It's not just you Kiryana -- WIM crashes WOW on a constant basis right now. When I disable WIM, WOW works fine. Re-enable WIM... crash central.

WoW crashes due to an access violation whenever I minimize WIM, as well. I don't seem to get this crash at all if not using WIM. I was using version 3.0.2b of WIM.

It might just be an interaction between WIM and some of my other addons, as I haven't tested *only* using WIM, but thought I'd post here just in case. :)

In general, though, great add-on! I really like the new look, too, and can't wait until I can use it again. =)

Yes, this mod crashes WoW when you try it "minimize" a window. After several versions it's still not fixed.

And I also second the lack of a tab option. That was the main purpose of using it for me. Without it, this mod is for all intents and purposes worthless to me. Please fix the crashing and add a tab option. I don't want 5 windows cascaded across my screen. I can't imagine anyone would. Put the tab options back.

Maybe you could work it in with one of the media player addons for WoW and show what song another user is listening to.

Also how do I get chat logging working? doesn't seem to show anything in the chat log menu. While this isn't a necessity, its a useful feature. Keep up the good work, can't wait till the next release.

Id just like to say for all the people that are missing the tab function that it still exists it's just sort of hidden. What you have to do is while holding shift, move one of the windows over another and they will merge.

Ps.
I'm looking forward till a newer and much more improved version of WIM is released.
Great job dude!
