Make sure you have the latest DBM. If the issue is occurring even when WIM is disabled... It is definitely not caused by WIM...

Not a WIM error.

Delete DBM, Delete DBM settings files from /WTF/, Reinstall latest DBM.

I have a question: I selected to unlock the WIM icon from the minimap but I can't seem to rotate or move the WIM icon from where it's positioned directly over the Voice chat icon. IS there any way to move the icon from where it's currently seated?

I know it's a day late for the US community, but the patch came a week sooner than I had thought. Anyway, its up now.

WIM 3.1 has a new feature which everyone has been asking for for a long time now... CHAT SUPPORT. By default chat is disabled so if you want to use it, make sure you go into WIM's options (/wim) and enable what you want handled. You will also note that the options have been rearranged a little. This is because Whispers and Chat have their own option sets. For example, each have their own behavior rules, sounds, filters and history options. I tried to add as many options as I can conceive in order to have them function the way you'd want them to. Please note, although working, it is still lacking some features (such as intercept slash commands) and a few other which I did not have time to implement yet. I am expecting a lot of feedback on the chat functionality as it is new and we all know we can't please everyone in one shot.

I hope you enjoy, below is the complete change log:

* Rearranged WIM's options. Sounds & History are now in category Whispers.
* Revised BBCode export to avoid nested color tags. Thank you Stewart.
* Added credits menu to options. A lot of people deserve a big thanks.
* Updated LDB Module to behave the same as the minimap icon.
* Emoticons are no longer parsed in BBCode History View.
* New Chat Engine! Disabled by default. See WIM's Options (/wim).

Above fix works great. Its just the "Astrolabe" folder causeing the problems. Just extract the TOMTOM one over the WIM version. Fixed!! Thanks!

WIM needs to update the library to the new one per Deadly Boss Mods

" A lot of people are currently reporting that DBM breaks their chat on the PTR when using a chat mod like Prat/WIM. This is not a bug of DBM. The reason for this problem is that Blizzard updated their chat filter API and the latest alpha version of DBM already makes use of this updated API. But many chat mods still use the old chat filter API, making them incompatible with every mod that uses the new one."

I am having a problem that when I click on a name in the trade channel whom I have not spoken to before, the WIM window comes up but the person never receives my whisper. Any others experienced this? HELP?!

I'm having the same problem with 3.1.1. I can initiate a chat, but don't receive any.

*slaps self*

Yes, I was using an old release. Updated and it works perfectly.

Just goes to show, often the stupid questions solve the easiest of issues!

Pazza,

Been a long time user of WIM and have loved every step of it. However, I am running into a small problem. I am getting some very serious lag (the game temporarily freezes) at times when people whom I do not have an open conversation with message me. Also, when I get more than three tabs open, the addon glitches and will not let me close (shift-click) the conversations and I must /reloadui. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thank you,

Alamaxia
