Yes, some form of person history would be very nice (and i'd be able to drop wim finally)
But not having a list of the people I've talked to anywhere kind of kills my ability to change to it.
I'm not referring to logging, there are lots of things that log the chat.
I'm referring to a list of people you have talked to in a drop down list (or something similar) like what WIM and many others have.
A history of people you've talked to, not the history of what was said to each person.
If I get msg's from half a dozen people, there is no way for me to switch back and forth between them once the initial window is closed, ie no history of active chats.
Cellular organizes the logs by person, showing a dropdown list of all people that were logged. When clicked, a normal/functional whisper window is opened so you can view it or even use it (my cheap way). This is why I'm confused. Umm, do you mean a separate list of people you whispered recently? Past hour? Today? I can implement something like that if it's not too complex, and I think a friend mentioned it also.
Another way you can approach mass whispers is to just keep their windows active but minimized. If you're not completely done with whispering someone, minimize their window. I can implement a way to organize these windows if needed.
Again, Celluar's not trying to replace WIM or any featuristic IM, but the above sounds useful if I'm on the same page.
In regards to some of what Kelem said, I've got a few suggestions.
I'd love either having a list of people i chatted with in the past hour or so, at least just something that would shorten the history list a lot.
However, the above would be even better was it accompanied by a fubar plugin showing me the list and maybe in the "text" field the number of total messages waiting for me in windows or something.
Anyway, anything that would make finding out who recently whispered you easier will be greatly appreciated :)

I would love to see a fubar plugin for this as well, such as Hjalte suggested. Im my mind, it would display the last person to whisper you, when moused over it would provide you with a list of the last 5-6 people, regardless of time. Then to have a couple of options... left click to /w , and shift left click to display the history of that person.
Ok, no plans to implement any of the above. I was just discussing that Cellular might already have those "history" features, or just done differently.
Like I said on the wiki, I am not taking feature requests for Cellular since there's so much that can be done for a whisper mod (and doing a lot defeats the purpose of Cellular).
Thats to bad this mod is pretty cool if it had a couple features added, like the suggested fubarplugin to capture multiple windows into a container, customizable catagory containers would really be sweet, like group guild whispers or friends whispers into seperate catagories on the fubar plugin. And maybe some event filtering for popup control?
And also adding click features so i can use playermenu when i click their links in the whisper popup frame. Add those and this thing is perfect...
Maybe you will be inspired in our intrest in your mod and add those things ;-)

Perhaps if you simply coded the ability for others to write plugins of modules. This way, those who want more can do it themselves. Cellular is extremely lightweight, which is what the author appears to have intended. It handles the basics, but for those who want features, they are left short or forced to use another mod. Pulgins would give the best of both worlds. It's not a feature request or enhancing the mod, just allowing others to do what they wish. Just a thought.

Modules is something that authors write, not common users. Any author can simply hook into Cellular to add features, such as what SpamSentry did. Just cause there's no "Cellular_..." in the name, doesn't mean you can't use it at the same time.
Most of what people want dealing with whispers have nothing to do with a mod that simply puts whispers in a separate frame. I mainly get requests for a FuBar plugin, but what's preventing people from using HeyFu, WhisperFu, etc?
The only real thing I am missing with Cellular is sound, or more to the point, notification of a new message (yes... long time WIM user). Is that already build in, or is there a workaround I have just not discovered? However, I do love the look and feel.
Edit: Thank you for leading me in the right direction. I got to thinking about your suggestion to use HeyFu for message tracking, and wondered if there was a sound addon someone already wrote. Sure enough, Chatsounds was exactly what I was looking for.
I do not know what i am missing but when I join a raid i start whispering people or vice versa and get like 25 small windows.
My guild members started whispering me back what is this ? Since i did not find any options about joining a raid i am asking here.
Is this an intended feature anywhere to turn it off?
Well, first, you shouldn't be getting 25 windows from Cellular since it won't allow it. Cellular does whisper people your busy message when you have reached your max windows allowed. But whatever causing the whispers in the first place may be a damage meter or boss mod that hasn't been updated to use addon channels.

Boss mods i am using LVBM as Peoii and damage meter Violation. Probably its DBM doing it :)

I'm having this issue too... really annoying going to something like AV. Do you know what's causing it?
Any chances of getting a tabbed window instead of 10 seperate chat windows as an option?
Thanks for the consideration...
peace~
