[Guest] [Hentaya]: Good thing the shoutbox doesn't have timestamps.
[Guest] [ravensong]: Is WIM going to be updated for the new patch? It gets a LUA error every time people log on bnet or pst me, because "
[Guest] [ravensong]: "surname" is now a nil value.
[Guest] [Dethedrus]: Since WiM is obviously quite dead, is there ANYTHING else out there that even comes close to replicating it's functionality?
[Guest] [Harshmage]: So the "surname" can be removed from the realID detection, in WIM.lua
[Guest] [Harshmage]: but fixing the tutorial popup and other errors is probably not going to happen without a major rework
[Guest] [menace97]: quite dead?
[Guest] [Nytetears]: I am trying out tell track I wish WIM would update I much prefer it but there are too many errors to try and use it now
[Guest] [Erudan]: Wim is being updated on Curse.

[Pazza]

This issue has been confirmed to be due to SpamMeNot.

[Octane666]

Should be fixed now.  Sorry.  Bloody patch days 

[Calatria]

Hi!
 Let me first say that I want to thank you for this mod. I have contributed in the past, and for the most part, I have my entire guild using it. We appreciate all of the work that you have put into it.

That having been said...put it back the old way! 

I am a GM of about 350+ and I can assure you, this new update is much more difficult. I have yet to hear one guild member say that they like it better. The new close fly-out is kinda cool, put I don't have time to Shift-click all of my windows to make them tab. When they spawn all on top of each other...ACK!

I am finding myself spending more time managing this mod now, then trying to do anything else that is new in the game. from reading some of the other posts in some of the other forums regarding this, I feel as we are not alone.

We can deal with the errors and bugs as such, but the former configuration was so much more user friendly, unless of course, we are all idiots and don't get it...

Thanks!

The current release is merely a public beta for general use until the finished version is released. Many people have already asked about the tabs, and Pazza has said, these features are coming, WIM v2 was nowhere near compatible with WoW 3.0, which is why WIM 3 was released early - so that everyone has something to use in the interim. so please just be patient :-)

I notice some very bad screen freezes with WIM 3.0.2 beta.

When I create tabs by shift+dragging one window on top of another, I notice terrible screen freezes when switching from one tab to another. Will that be automaticall gone if the final implementation of tabs is there you think?
Also often when a whisper from a new player is incoming (new = no active conversation yet) it is preceeded by a freeze of about 2s, and then two times the initial msg... which, I guess, is already an improvement compared to the endless repeating

One time the whole screen froze and stayed that way until I killed the WoW process; however, I cannot tell for sure what addon to blame for that

[Pazza]

A few people have reported the freezing. I am trying to figure out the cause of it. atm, I'm a little stuck. A solution will be found I'm sure.

[dracula]

Not sure if this is the best place to keep posting, but I did because I've reported the freeze problem here.

It seems that the freeze is related to the creation of the frame. If I choose not to popup the window (eg. during combat) it just plays the incoming whisper sound without any freeze. Perhaps the new skinning engine takes a bit too much processing when creating/drawing the frame?

Just wondering, does everone experience the freezes? Or could we pinpoint it to some specific conditions?

[Pazza]

Well here's the thing with that... Even though the window isn't popping, it is still being created and drawn.. so it might be something else.. The good thing is you've given me a good place to look. Thanks.
