I few things i miss:
- tabbed windows
- "do not popup in combat" option
- cant disable autofocus on window popup
- "autofocus in cities" option

In other words i'd like to see WIM2 updated to work with 3.0.2
It's realy great addon but the overall impression from WIM3 is regress compared with WIM2. And those animated windows...??? r u big fan of microsoft? ;)

you are doing an awsome job i still love the addon and have been interested in the changes you made and im sure you are working on stuff like the auto tab chat and stuff like that
I do have one error that i have found not sure if others have reported it yet but one problem i have run into is when i resize to a smaller size and usualy when i try to minmize it tends to crash wow ..but only if i resize it other wise seems to be working very nice so far
:D keep up the awsome job.

The only issue I have had has been with the fairly regular WoW crashes when minimizing WIM. No lag or spotty performance issues otherwise.

I am on a fairly high end PC....

Yeah, same.

And it doesn't happen every time I minimize it either, but it happens about 75% of the time.

I'm also on a fairly high end PC.

Sounds like you are using SpamMeNot -- Although I haven't tested it yet, the latest version of it was suppose to resolve some issues.

I've been getting that, too, and I wasn't sure what that was since my friend that also uses WIM hasn't seen it.

I'll have to try not using SpamMeNot and see if I still get that. Thanks for the info. :)

hi, i was just wondering if anyone else was having this same problem... now and then when i get a /w the window pops up but im spammed with that message continuously. at first i thought it was someone messing me around and doing it on purpose but i every now and then it happens. even if i block the person i still get the same repeated message and it only goes away if i /reloadui.

just wanted to know if it was a bug in wim or a conflict with some other addon i have installed or if there was a way around it.

thanks in advance!

I spoke to the curse team about the update date/time. They are implementing it incorrectly and are working on a fix. Apparently everytime I commit to the SVN, it generates an alpha, which is only available on curseforge (for the devs). Thats the date/time you were seeing. I disabled the compilations of those commits to prevent any additional confusion.

Thank you to everyone supporting the project. I am looking into and trying to fix all the bugs people are reporting. I start on WIM's forums (wimaddon.com) then move on to here. I also look at the ticketing system here on curse. My goal was to have WIM out of beta before the 3.0.2 patch but I ran out of time. WIM is labeled as a beta because "it is a beta". Everyone is being a great help reporting their bugs. Complaints about missing features are more of redundant annoyances rather then constructive criticism. I am trying to iron out the kinks of what has been implemented already instead of moving on to other features and as a result creating an even buggier WIM. In a closed beta, WIM's testers are trying out the auto tabbing of windows. It appears to be working well. I plan on releasing something within the next day or two. Right now my focus is the lag issue some have reported.

Anyone having lag issues, please let me know if you have this trouble with ONLY WIM enabled. I am hoping that it is a conflict with another addon because I am unable to reproduce it. My fear is that it is a PC problem rendering textures. My mac is running everything smoothly, and since I haven't played (haven't even respeced any of my toons yet) since the patch, I only have 2 or 3 addons loaded which have to do with me developing rather than playing. You're help is appreciated.

Last note, I didn't mean to snap. You caught me at a bad time and the last thing I want to do is cause drama. I will do a better job at ignoring stupid comments in the future. I promise. Consider it Pazza 2.0 "beta" lol

wish i could help with reproducing this lag problem as well; it has happened to me twice, but i have tons of other addons and for me, it only lags when i'm in combat or something. basically i won't even know someone has whispered me until they whisper me again, and then i can see the original message with original timestamp, the original message again with their latest message's timestamp and their latest message (which will have popped up instantly).
hope that makes sense somehow >> 3 lines of IMs if I only missed 1 of them from say 2 hours beforehand.

but yeah it only seems to happen if that initial IM is when I'm in combat..

thanks so much for the great addon, looking forward to the tabbing feature and whatever else may be added :)

I was wondering if you were ever planning on updating the shaman class color, its been the wrong one for a number of versions now. The correct hex color should be 2459FF, it currently is set to 00dbba in the Constants.lua file

Ah, the thankless addon community. If some of these guys spent money on adds like they do on porn and pop, we would have truly stellar addons, BUT, since you don't, please don't gripe about what you want. he's trying something different and sometimes that takes a little time to implement. I do, however, have one question; why does it say it was updated a few hours ago when the version number is the same as the version released on the 16th? Am I missing something? Thanks for the addon mano and if you see fit to get tabs in sometime soon....it would be awesome. If you need some pop, call me...I can put in an order.

Is anyone else experiencing a bit of lag whenever you get a whisper with WIM? I'm trying to put my finger on what causes this but so far I've had no success.

Well, it took time to download and install, plus bandwidth, plus hard drive space, and I charge by the hour, that includes testing and feedback, so I'll send you a bill....

I don't like this wim. The older version was much better. There's absolutely no reason to change to a new style of wim. If it's not ugly, don't change it. I find this wim to be very annoying.

I agree with you. If it isn't ugly, don't change it. However the older WIM no longer works with WoW 3.0... This made an opportune time to rewrite it from scratch. Don't expect 3 years of features to be finished in the 3 months that I've been working on it. You don't like it? I can give you a refund.. wait? how much did I charge you? kthnxbye

It's a great mod don't get me wrong. Where were you when the beta was happening? I kept looking at wowinterface beta mods to see wim and it wasn't there. I understand it takes time to add all the features and I appreciate the time you take to make this mod. Right now I can't use it because every time someone sends me a message, there's no option to keep the cursor from trying to type in the message window. It get's annoying when the window is up. Hope it get's halfway done before launch. Get rid of the floating box on the titan panel, it's really stupid. I'm sure everyone is not looking for flashy designs just something that works. =)
