    RaidHelper: bad argument #3 to 'format'
    Bug #: 7542
    File: ElvUI_ChatTweaks

    Status: Awaiting Feedback
    Tonight I experienced 2 errors with the RaidHelper module. I can't remember exactly what was going on when the errors popped, since I was busy going through tacts for Ragnaros.

    Here are the errors

    Actually, looking back, I think the first error was with a fish feast from WotLK and the 2nd error was when someone put down a jeeves repair bot. Don't know why that would error out. Might just have been a glitch. I had raid assistant at the time, in case that matters.

    Change line 104 to:
    Code:
    local _, link = GetItemInfo(tonumber(ids[tostring(spellID)]))
    See if that corrects it.

    I'll do that and keep an eye on it for next weeks raiding. It appears to only happen when you're in Ragnaros' lair.

    Oh, the fix you suggested, should that take care of the error from the WotLK fish feast aswell?

    I don't know what to tell you, I watched the addon work flawlessly in raid last night with feasts and cauldrons.

    It does appear to be very random as it doesn't happen every time someone puts something on the ground which the addon should report. Probably just a glitch on my end then.

    Just an update. I haven't seen any errors the last few days. I've been on 3 Firelands raids since I last saw an error and it seems to have solved itself. The only change I can think of is disabling "Remove Icons" from the Spam Filter module but I can't see how this should be the cause.
