i have an issue when trying to send a link it adds {{HURL: 2] (is 2 boxes before the 2 but cant put)then links twice but the links are useless, if i look in history it appears right, just in chat window it fails
Update this morning, but still doesn't work to whisper players from other realm. It's worse than before the update as the first whisp doesn't work anymore: "player-realmname is no playing " in the chat windows
In reply to Kirothius:
Please provide more details. For example the name of the server that the target person is on. I tested this on retail with various server names (with spaces without spaces -- did not have any with apostrophes to test) and had no issue sending or receiving (initial whispers or replies). I initiated conversations from guild window, from right clicking target, from friends frame and from slash commands (/w name) -- albeit the slash commands utilized autocomplete. Blizzard might be scrutinizing that the format of the name is strict (ie spacing and case). I allow for an initial whisper to come in any format (ie all caps, all lower) and correct the name when a message is sent or received (blizzard sends the exact name on each of the events).
Please also specify which version of the game you are having the problem on (classic, retail, SOD, etc -- there ware way too many now).
anyone else have an issue were the icon doesn't lock in place, its not a big deal just annoying having to fix every time i log on / swap toons
Could we get an option to lock the position when it's detached from the map? Seems like it always moves from where I put it
This issue is happening on Cata Classic. It seems to be relating to reloading the UI or on a relaunch. You have to basically put it slightly above where you want it. Then it adjusts down. So it's a temporary fix basically.
Right-click on the guild chat name and select whisper. Window opens, text can be written, but is not sent, before the 10.2.7 update everything was ok.
Some players work, some others get a message at the bottom of the WoW chat that the player is not online. WIM works via the contact list
In reply to Wulfman2012: This should be fixed now.
Is it possible to export some history for specific chats?
In reply to kistuneinferno: In the history viewer you can export chats in a few different formats.
There is a problem, namely someone writes in the /Trade of the server Mal'ganis, the server is not inserted in the WIM window with so coincidence Mal'ganis, Wim tries to whisper coincidence, which of course does not exist on the server Blackhand, then this is very annoying because when people try to write to players from Mal'ganis they get the message "coincidence" is not online.
Just to clear up what YurakyTV is saying above:
WIM no longer adds the -ServerName to the player name in the WIM chat box. If you whisper (respond) to someone cross-server via WIM, you will get an error message saying that the player does not exist. This is because WIM is attempting to whisper the player on your server, and not on the server the player is actually on. In order to fix this issue, WIM needs to add -ServerName to the player name of ALL whisper windows.
I have only tested this on retail.
Having an issue when I try to send myself a message to stop from bein afk, I get a message that player from Feathermoon not playing but I am not that from server, I am from Proudmoore. Issue only happening to this character at this point, my other characters are not having any WIM issues so far.
on retail cant answer via WIM to players who has letters with apostrophes in their name, says character not found
update: cant wisp to some character without apostrophes as well, not sure what causing it
On retail servers, some outgoing whispers are not sending when I push enter to send in a WIM window (not for everyone, just some people I try to reply to). I have to reply manually from the ingame chat instead of the WIM individual window to reply, I've reset all addon settings and reinstalled addon and still nothing. Any suggestions?
After selecting the character and entering the log, the game freezes for about 2 minutes. I use the version for 10.1.7 (private server: Firestorm)
Fix finally the damn minimap button , it already resets for years now.
patiently awaiting cata update
I have the same issue - chat marks messages as inappropriate and in WIM I can not click on the "Show message" - nothing happens if I click it.
I now deactivated WIM and in the normal whisper window I am very well able to click it and see the censored message.
I have two questions about WIM. I hope someone can help me.
1) I can't move around between texts. If I want to change some character, I cannot move my cursor left to replace it. How can I solve it?
2) Can WIM display battle net emojis? Emojis will display as ?? in WIM.
Does WIM allow for other languages? Tried receiving a message in Korean and only squares appeared. Is there a way to allow for other characters?
Thanks
