When I submit a ticket and the Chat with Gamemaster window comes up, I can't seem to talk to him. I keep getting cannot find player in the IM window. When I turned off WIM, it's fine and I can talk with him.

Running WIM v3.0.6 by itself does not produce the error. After turning on other mods I discovered a possible conflict with NotesUNeed (by Telic) v6.54.30000. Even if I have just WIM and NUN running, the custom chat tab problem occurs, and I see there is a NUN error that states:

NotesUNeed.lua:11558:attempt to call field 'NuNOri_AddMessage' (a nil value)

I tried rolling NUN back to version 6.53.3000, but get the same error (at line 11555). But if I use WIM v3.0.5b with either version of NUN, I do not get the error and my custom chat window works fine.

Could WIM v3.0.6 and NUN be fighting over the output of chat info into custom chat tabs?

It is possible. I will look into the addon.

I think v3.0.6 may be having an odd effect on custom chat windows. It appears to block various chat output on such windows.

Right click on the "General" tab in the default chat window, and choose to create a new window, giving it a name such as "Guild". Right click on that new tab name and choose "Settings", then turn off all options except Guild chat and Raid chat, then choose OK to save those settings. Logout of that character, then log back in with them, and see if you can see any guild or raid chat.

I updated to v3.0.6 yesterday afternoon, did a couple of dailies on my druid and thought things were pretty quiet in guild chat prior to our scheduled raid, but not thinking anything of it. Once it was time to raid and I was in raid, I realized that I wasn't seeing any raid chat either. I switched over to my General tab in the chat window and saw all of the raid and guild chat I had been missing (I use my custom chat tab most of the time, to screen out all the General, Defense and Trade channel banter). I tried deleting the custom chat tab and recreating it, but the problem persisted. After the raid, I rolled back to v3.0.5b, then logged back in and my custom tab worked fine again.

I use many different mods, so I can't tell if this is a problem caused specifically by WIM v3.0.6, or if this new version is having a conflict with my other mod(s) to cause this issue to happen.

Let me know if there is additional information I need to provide.

You are going to have to do some testing for me. Mainly, you need to see if you get this same behavior with every addon disabled except for WIM.

Much needed and long awaited. It had gotten to the point where WIM was occasionally unusable and I no longer could recommend it in good conscience to friends. Glitches, bugs, hangups, lockups, and not to mention a bit hoggy on system resources. I had started to give up on WIM, actually. Looking forward to this update and what it will do to improve the WIM experience for all its fans.

I had to go back to the previous release because the new update doesnt seem to save the settings when logging out...

For example the removing the minimap button and smileys on whispers, it comes back after a relog...

Pretty please with a cherry on top. I assume that the settings are saved correctly into the Savedvariables folder, just not updated on load right? I guess I can bear with it for a day.

Much needed update, although I still notice lockups here and there. When whispering my target using /tt (Addon Chatter's feature), and closing a window occasionally. Will test it out for a few days.

Yeah I just want our testers to run the beta before I release, incase I broke something :-/. If you want to be a tester, register on the forums at WIMAddon.com and send me (Pazza) a PM from the forums there. I will set you up so you can always use my latest revision. Since you have the lockups, you can assist us in tracking down and fixing it.
