Also wondering if the 3 (any of the 3) plugins for WIM will be updated for WoW 3.0? I've had conflicts between SpamSentry and the WIM Spam blocker myself.

People with the problem of the first whisper being sent over and over again, is this happening when that first whisper is NOT sent during combat?

I am still getting chat spam of the first reply from whoever I am chatting with. When I disable WIM the spam stops. This has been ongoing since 3.02 and I have tried every version of WIM since then.

Please fix!!! Simpler is better.

An issue I've been having is I'm trying to change the color of incoming whispers. I click on the color box it pops up the color pallete but clicking on the pallete does nothing, infact at this point you can't accept the changes via the button the only way out at this point is to hit ESC and it brings me back to the menu with the whisper options with no color change. This is kind of critcal for me due to low contrast vision issues, I find the default magenta kind of dark.

I agree with many of these suggestions. The fact that it's stealing focus when a new IM comes in is quite aggravating. I'll be typing a reply to one person, when I get someone else whispering me and suddenly the last half of what i typed is in the wrong window.

Right clicking the minimap icon to bring up the options window would be very intuitive as well. As it is, I have to type /wim to access the options at all.

I'm also using Broker2Fubar to get WIM back on Fubar, but it's near useless since it doesn't notify me when i have incoming messages. I have to click on the icon to see what i have.

I don't know what the heck went wrong here, but this addon went from being the first installed to the worst one I have ever had the misfortune of coming accross. The simple, elegant, and intuitive interface and operation that WIM had before the 302 patch, has been shown the door, and replaced with a pendantic options arrangement, popup functionality that someone manages to be COUNTERintuitive, and an INFURIATING change in layout.

Tips to improve :
- reinstate popup on all messages, but do NOT steal focus
- reinstate option to set stacked windows
- intercept /w, r, and Shift-R with a WIM window, not a blinking I in the minimap button.
- reinstate rightclick functionality to minimap button

I really hope you understand that WIM is STILL in public beta. Also half of what you request is actually already implemented in the latest BETA of wim.

Please visit the actual web site for the addon as almost all of your question and complaints about WIM have/are being addressed or even fixed already. But god forbid people make an effort to research before they post complaints about something that's free...

Seems like nobody has patients anymore these days, quite sad.

One request would be to have the flashy tabs back as well rather then auto switching tabs. I'll be in the middle of typing a message and someone will message me and all the sudden i'm opening control panels and jumping. LOL. Great addon either way.

Hello sylvanaar, Pazza,

Thank you for your hard work on WIM3.

I wrote an extremely detailed proposal for some features that would be wonderful to include in WIM, and did lots of work in outlining how it could be coded up.

However I accidentally posted it under WIM2. >_> Because it's kinda long I didn't want to spam up your comments, so here is the link:

I've been having a strange problem tonight. One whisper gets repeated for anything I or my partner writes. He still gets my whispers, but whatever I write or he writes I always see the same text. Haven't figured out what triggers it. Also those whispers won't get logged. Relogging solved the problem for a while but it came back.

I've been having the same problem. Please, do not use WIM unless you have it enabled for bug testing. WIM does not work right now and I'm sure he's working hard to fix it since we don't have much time before the expansion hits. Use WIM at your own risk. Some whispers will not go through.

thank you for adding the tabbing back into WIM. however i seem to still have an issue. when i hit R to reply and hit tab to scroll through, it won't change the tabs. it used to scroll through the tabs of whispers when i hit tab, but it isn't atm. i understand you're working on a "ground up" rebuild so i'm not pissing and moaning, but could you please reinsert that feature when you get a chance? thank you tons and tons and tons for a great mod. <3

oh yeah, and i have also noticed (with some others) that when typing in guild or party chat, if i get a whisper, everything i'm typing after the whisper arrives transfers to the WIM whisper instead of being completed in the guild or party chat line. it has made for some interesting mistells =P

thanks again for all you rhard work <3

the only way i've been able to look is by opening up a whisper window with someone i've chatted with before and hitting the little note icon that opens up my history with that player... in that new window that pops up is your entire history on all your characters. unfortunately everything is saved per character, and so if you want to delete the history of one person with 5 of your characters...you have to delete it 5 times :s

The bug with WIM crashing WOW when minimizing is being focused on. The temp fix is to disable the window animation in your wim settings. Check your settings by typing /wim.

And please.. i repeat PLEASE READ PREVIOUS POSTS BEFORE POSTING YOUR BUG. There could be a fix for your problem since it's been asked about 50 times before.

I'm having 2 Problems:
1) I can't look at whispers I recently sent (via TAB key) to other players except the person i'm just talking to (with R key).

2) I don't want to pop up windows when I'm in combat. In that case I want the message to show up in the chat log. But if i configure it that way I always get an error message when I'm in combat and getting a whisper. Also the whisper doesn't show up whether in the chat log nor in a WIM window. Not before I'm getting out of combat i can red it with the R key.
