I do not like the WoW chat box. I think it takes way too much room and delivers too much useless information. Is there a way to have WIM intercept certain info that pertain to immediate game play and suppress outside chatter.

I'm having an issue that has been going on before the most recent release. When I die or leave a dungeon my WIM no longer pops up. I can hear that I'm being whispered and I can see the chat bubble on my titan panel lighting up but I can't see who is wisping me nor can respond. It also affects my regular wow chat wisp. I can't use it either. I have to log out and back in to resolve it but then I've no idea who was wisping me. I have manually removed and reinstalled the previous version as well as the newest release without any success in correcting this problem. Do you have any ideas on what I can do correct this?

If i am not mistaken, that isn't a WIM feature but a DBM option.

Got a bug for you I also posted this on the other addon's comment section.

Seems as tho WIM and Underachiever Conflict with each other on latest 3.x.x patch
Conflict happens when you to attempt to link an item into the WIM chat frame and copys the link 2 - 4 times, Sometimes more Depending how many previous items u have linked in a short time.

Author would rather not look through code to try debug this issue.

so maybe you could have a chat with Aelobin see if you 2 could wrap this one up!

When your making a GM ticket, there is a crash from WIM and GM ticket.

My internet was malfunctioning last night and I disconnected from the server.
When I finally logged back in it seems all of WIM's settings had been reset.
This seems to happen every single time I forcefully disconnect or the game crashes.

Furthermore, editing the .lua SavedVariables settings does not work to restore the settings and chat history, and it is VERY ANNOYING.
Please find a fix. ^^

Hi,

I just downloaded this addon, the only problem I have is there is no button at the top of the chat box that says "Click to view message history," like you showed in your video. I tried to right-click on the icon and got to "history viewer," but when I click on it, none of my message history shows up. In fact nothing shows up, it's all blank :(

Well, first of all - I love this addon, it makes communication in WoW a lot easier, but there is one thing that anoys me very much about - when i get a message and I'm walking forward (pressing [W]) it starts spamming W in the chat window - any way you can make it possible to not mark the writing area when i get a message, just make it pop-up and let me click the area myself. Or if there already is a way to do that, I would be very happy if you showed me.

I agree with this guy on both counts. This addon is awesome (certainly worth a nice donation!!!). But, (again, agreeing with tobischneider dude) the automatic typing in pop-up message boxes is annoying and actually quite problematic (one either ends up sending some odd wwwwwwwwww-looking text, or one has to stop moving in order to close or deselect the chat window, or... worst of all.. you're in the middle of an attack and the window pops up, and suddenly you're typing, and you can't get the damn window to close (because you have to delete all that stupid text you just accidentally wrote) and so you can't attack/move properly.

you know what i mean?

it would be great if there was an option feature that allowed for the dis-activation of this.

try "HideChat" on this website. Sometimes the actual mod cant do what you want, but someone else has thought of it and it helps to at least try to take a look around.
