Any/all features can be toggled on or off by manually editing Yap.lua lines 4 through 12. Hopefully this will be a workable compromise - I do not plan to add any kind of in game settings. For other chat frame mod options please check out the comments.

Sorry, there are currently no optional files available.
I'd love to have timestamps only in Chatframe 1 & 2 but not in 3. I'm sure there's a way to just add this via lua, but I don't know how. Woud be nice if someone could give me a hint :*
edit: after some research I found out about _G and how to address a certain ChatFrame... adding and frame ~= _G["ChatFrame3"] after if Timestamps seems to work just fine
Originally posted by Zoulnix Can't get the latest version to work, so had to revert back to the old one.
No error messages.
Are you sure it's not working or is it because I removed several things and simplified others. I removed button hiding, changes to the editbox, shift/ctrl modifiers for scrolling and timestamps. So, basically at this point it just does the three things mentioned in the description.
It's probably odd to release a newer version of a mod with fewer features but I wanted to slim it down even more.
If you're looking for the removed features and a lot more I recommend checking out PhanxChat or Chatter.
A couple of other very lightweight chat mods are idChat and oChat (I think that's the newest).
Originally posted by mentalnutsy I love this addon but was wondering is thare any way to disable the timestamps and make it so i dont have to hold any keys down to scroll. i dont know anything about coding but would be greatfull if some1 could help me. thank you.
@mentalnutsy
Sorry for not responding sooner, I've been away. To turn off timestamps you can edit the Yap.lua file with any text editor and comment out line 78 by adding "--" to the beginning or you could just delete the whole line; either will work. Oh, and for the scrolling you don't have to use the keys...it just makes it faster. With no keys pressed the box will scroll one line at a time.
@xromania
Thanks

I'm not planning on adding sticky channels because I'm satisfied with the defaults. There are many chat mods that have this feature. Two that I know of are PhanxChat and idChat. PhanxChat has just about every feature you can think of while idChat is a lightweight chat mod like Yap.

I'm going to be uploading a radically different and even more simplified version of Yap in the next few days. It will only have channel shortening, the different (better?) font and a simplified mousewheel. This is all that I require in a chat mod so that's all I'm keeping in. If you'd like more features you'll need to look at one of the other excellent choices available.

It changes the default font, adds mouse wheel scrolling*, hides the chat frame buttons (up / down / bottom / menu), moves the edit box to the top, shortens most channel names and adds timestamps.
