Would you consider adding a feature where you can shift+scroll down to immediately get back to the latest part of your chat, if you've scrolled up a lot?

I'll update it this week adding a few new features back. Like url copy, invite shortcuts etc. And fixing any outstanding bugs such as that chat background still appearing.
Thank you very much and go on like this!

As far as the chat tabs, can't seem to find why this is happening, but I'll keep looking. I can't replicate the issue myself.
That's weird... I think I'm just too stupid to find the right option.

I have a problem, but first of all a link to the picture: http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/1172/bchatprob1.jpg

I am not sure, but I think it's the background of the editbox. How can I turn that off?

Yepp, it works perfect with 4.0.1. Noticed this small bug too, but only with my second Chat Window (I have one only for Conversation on the right side of my Screen). If I do a UI-Reload (/ui) the name does not fade out completely and I have to restart the Game. It's not a problem as well.

Will it be possible to select under which chat frame it will appear ?

Just found it...

Hey,

I really like this Addon, it's simple and easy. Just on Request: Is there any Way to make the Chat fade out after a little Time? I like to keep my Screen clean und - if there's no (more) Conversation, I don't want to read the "old Stuff".

Thanks in advance!

//Edit: Just found it in the .lua :-) Sorry for annoying you.

@Ministoat

You actually don't have to add any code. Go to line 135 of the bchat.lua and either delete or comment out these three lines.

Code:
    for g = 1, #CHAT_FRAME_TEXTURES do
        _G["ChatFrame"..i..CHAT_FRAME_TEXTURES[g]]:SetTexture(nil)
    end
and there ya go ...chat background is back and your able to change the opacity and color of it in game like normal.

is there a way to add the chat background again?

I added the code from the previous release but the background frame is always above the text, can't figure out how to fix the strata on it either :/

Found a sort-of fix for the bnet conversations. Go to Interface Options, Social tab, and set the 'New Real ID Conversations' option to 'In-line' rather than 'New tab'. This will show conversations like a normal chat channel, not in their own window. It's not perfect, but it works.

Thanks for the prompt reply, Blooblahguy.

I'll check into the FontSize addon - thank you for the find. I did not know the issue between Blizzard/bChat existed, but I am glad that it's not just me somehow mucking things up.

I'll also look into the switching between Classic/IM modes.

Best wishes to you.
