Also the whisper appears in it's own chat tab, which is usuable, but the box is still on the screen

Just tested and seems to work, for some reason it looks like curse isnt showing the latest code changes here
In reply to zulunia:
This didn't work for me
In reply to zulunia:
This worked for me but it's definitely not perfect, the separate tab still comes up in my chatbox even with no messages in it. Still, I'll take it for the time being. Thanks!

I'm curious if this addon is going to be updated for Shadowlands. I miss this addon. The prepatch broke it. :(
It doesn't seem to be saving whisper history on newly connected realms. EG: If I'm on my Dath'remar characters it's not saving whispers from Aman'Thul, and if I'm on my Frostmourne characters it's not saving whispers from Jubei'thos. Unless I'm missing a setting somewhere
Is there a way that I can shift-click items to preview them in WIM like you can in normal wow messages or chat? It currently doesnt work for me.
Thanks!
Hi, i dont see my whisp chat log anymore in the WIM log section. Is there an issue?
Is there a way to setup WIM so that if someone messages the Community Channel that I have setup (channel 4) that it will popup like it does for Guild, Instance and Whispers? I thought you could do it from the "Custom Chat" window in settings but there is only channel 0 listed and I have no way to add or modify the section. Thanks for the help!
