Fabulous idea. But a few issues encountered so far. v1.2 (upgraded from v1.0), USEnglish client/server, WoW 4.0.1 (13205) live.

When there is more than one note in the Remove Note frame and the first/prior one is long, the text of the long note overlaps the one immediately below it. Making it nearly impossible to see what's in each note.

When adding a second note to a character, received the word "test" (debug?) in Chat1. Also received it regularly on the second character tested (see below).

Logging on a different character on the same server and attempting to add notes to him, checking "Show with character" did not show that character's name in the dropdown list. The only character showing was the prior one I first added notes to. Had to manually add the second character to the list; the first character automatically showed up in the dropdown list at the time I was on him.

Finally, would be very (very) nice if there was an ability to edit notes in-game after you add them. Yes, can edit the saved variables outside of it. But having to delete & restart from scratch notes that you want to modify in-game isn't convenient.

I'm getting a sneaky suspicion that there's no support for more than 1 realm.. when I logged to Steamwheedle Cartel it seemed to work just fine, adding characters and allowing me to make notes. But then I went to Lightbringer and I got one error after another (listed below). The options are empty and I'm not allowed to make any notes.

I tested it on another computer to see if something else was the matter, and there I went to Lightbringer first and it worked fine. However, on that computer the problems started showing on Steamwheedle Cartel. I hope I'm providing enough information, if not then just holler.

I have to admit that I kind of gave up on my request, thinking you didn't agree with it.. how wonderful that you still decided to put it in. ^^

Thank you so much, I'll immediately download this. No more frustrated outcries of "ah crap, I knew there was something I had to buy with my bank alt before logging to my main" or "eurgh, now I still haven't made those glyphs for my new slots".

Hrm.. I'm no lua expert, so I can't give you any decent suggestion. But I believe an addon like BankItems logs the character names (and in the case of that addon, their stuff) once you logged to them. So then you'd only be able to make notes for characters that have already been logged to? Or maybe you can manually add characters to the list? Or the addon can somehow find th character names from the folders in your WTF folder? Dunno..

Sorry to keep you bugging about this; I've been told it should be possible, but since I myself can't write any addons I need to turn to others. :s

Well, there is.. I'd rather not have that reminder on every single character that I log into when it's only meant for 1 of them. Setting the proper event wouldn't restrict it enough, as I go to the AH or vendors on other chars as well. I'd be peeved quickly if I get a reminder to make my Rogue a Armor Kit when I cook something on my main, then again when I make bandages on an alt, and againwhen I make myself a bag on another char.

Wouldn't a simple dropdown menu do the trick? Then you can set it to [name], or even [all] if you want to retain the global feature.

If you can make this addon work for alts (meaning that you can set a note for one character while you are on another), then I'd instantly use this one.

Here's what I mean: I often think of something I should do on another char (like "browse the AH for item X when next on my banker" or "make that piece of leg armor for this Rogue when next on my LW char"), but by the time I log to said character I've forgotten all about it. For people like me, who have the short-term memory even a goldfish would laugh at, a feature like that would be priceless.
