Target player was removed a long time ago. Due to restrictions blizzard put in place, it is not feasible to attach a target button to a WIM window.

Posted Oct 8, 2019I am getting various errors when right-clicking on a character (non-BNet friend) and hitting Whisper in RETAIL. Typically, this would list that character's info like guild name even without whispering them, but nothing comes up. The "click to update" feature does nothing. I have noticed for maybe the past couple weeks that the chat tabs are not listing guild names for anyone, whether I've whispered them or not. Maybe this has something to do with the /who feature. First 2 errors were with all my add-ons, second 2 are with only WIM installed:

No more errors with the latest update! :) Character information comes up only when the other person whispers back, still not displaying guild name or location though so not sure if that's intentional.

Since the latest updates to Classic and BfA, SendWho is protected from being used by AddOns (due to other AddOns and Hackers misusing it.)
Due to this, we can no longer gather data automatically and have to use the PlayerGUID, which sadly only carries static data Name, Realm, Race, Class and Sex.
And this information is only available when you encountered said player (you have to either seen the player ingame or received a whisper from said player)

Oh gotcha! I heard about that in Classic, didn't know it was for BFA too. Sucks. Thank you for taking the time to explain!

Location and Guild are not available unless they are in your party/raid/guild. With Blizzard blocking access to the who lookup, this info is no longer available.

Posted Oct 7, 2019Client: WoW Classic
Problem: Sometimes when the windows go to 'Expose' the area they snap to resets to the top left for all but the current frame. So when I switch the frame jumps from wherever it is to the top left.
It would be nice if, besides setting a default spawn location, if there was a way to say 'stay here' or that when I switch tabs it doesn't jump "to where that tab was last". I run a variety of add-ons and do not know if this is a conflict or a known issue.
Side Note: It would be nice if there was a tab that could be for emote and say, this add-on is a wonderful one for RPers and emote isn't tracked (nor is it caught in the say window).

I will have to investigate the expose issue and tabs not respecting correct placement.
In the meantime, today's update will have an option in SAY settings to include emotes.

Wow! Thanks! You know, that's awesome and I appreciate you putting that feature in. I noticed a slight bug with it though. Normally, if you type longer than one 'blob' worth it starts a new page. For instance, in a long page it'll send two and split the page across it.
If you type /em and do a long one in the Say tab, it doesn't create two. It just cuts it at the maximum characters allowed and doesn't create additional ones.

Hmm... I am really only delivering the emotes to the say window. Since it is the "Say" window, what you send through it will always go to the say channel. it doesn't actually parse /commands to know any better. I'll keep this in mind and add it in if its a trivial adjustment.

Well, okay, to make sure we're saying the same thing. If I were to go to the WIM window for say and type:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nam commodo ullamcorper felis sit amet gravida. Quisque non malesuada tellus. Aliquam sollicitudin blandit finibus. Maecenas feugiat dolor nunc, in congue massa pellentesque tempor. Vestibulum accumsan imperdiet nisl, sit amet accumsan ante viverra suscipit. Donec sem magna, fringilla sit amet orci eu, lobortis lobortis purus.
It'll output:
Character name: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nam commodo ullamcorper felis sit amet gravida. Quisque non malesuada tellus. Aliquam sollicitudin blandit finibus. Maecenas feugiat dolor nunc, in congue massa pellentesque tempor. Vestibulum
Character Name: accumsan imperdiet nisl, sit amet accumsan ante viverra suscipit. Donec sem magna, fringilla sit amet orci eu, lobortis lobortis purus.
If I type:
/em Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nam commodo ullamcorper felis sit amet gravida. Quisque non malesuada tellus. Aliquam sollicitudin blandit finibus. Maecenas feugiat dolor nunc, in congue massa pellentesque tempor. Vestibulum accumsan imperdiet nisl, sit amet accumsan ante viverra suscipit. Donec sem magna, fringilla sit amet orci eu, lobortis lobortis purus.
It'll output:
Character Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nam commodo ullamcorper felis sit amet gravida. Quisque non malesuada tellus. Aliquam sollicitudin blandit finibus. Maecenas feugiat dolor nunc, in congue massa pellentesque tempor. Vestibulum a
And that's it. So it won't even parse the first part into /em and the next part into /say it seems to not process the rest of it. But if this is what you're saying, okay! Just wanted to make sure.
(Attached is an image of what I'm saying because it never hurts to be as clear as possible!)

We're on the same page. When you send a message that is too long it sends it in parts. When you send a slash command it gets handled differently because you can't simply split it and send in chunks because after the inital is processed, the following would get sent as a say message. So each part would have to be prefixed with /em which would yield unwanted results also... because remember each emote is prefixed with your name.
/em says this is a really... really long message which will
/em produce an odd result if a long message is split.
/em recommends not sending REALLY long emotes :)

Here's hoping it's a trivial adjustment then! And I figured that's what was needed (the /em being added in front of each), I just also figured it was parsed ahead of time and was a bit -- I suppose -- surprised that it didn't even convert the rest of it to /say!
I really do appreciate your replies. Thank you.

On more think you aren't seeing... :-). look at my previous comment and replace /em with your name. that is how it will read. This is what i meant by producing an odd result. :-)

It changes the context of everything. I don't think emotes translate the same a message does.

True, but it's a common thing for RPers. They'll splice it together using a symbol to show there's a continuation or just leave it as a spot that's not an obvious stop.
So, for instance..
Psylence84 waves at so and so, continuing with long emote ...
Pslyence84 ... until the end of the pose.
Or just:
Psylence84 makes wild gestures at the surrounding
Psylence84 areas until the end of their pose.
It's not that I disagree with you, mind, it's 'odd' but it's a commonplace way around the limit to the length. It's the same in pages or party chat as well.
