Ok, this might be a simple question but I seem to be ignorant as to how to fix this problem.
I use prat, I love it, thanks for the mod. The only problem I'm having is when I try to move the chatframe to the bottom of my screen it keeps jumping back up to the normal position. I can't get it to stay. I'm not sure what to do. I use bartender for my hotbars/buttons and the only other things on the bottom of my screen are omen when its up and recount. Any help is appreciated thanks alot.

Alot of people have had similar issues due to the way blizzard stores the chatframe settings.
You *might* want to try deleting the local copies of your settings.

Just move all the files except addon.txt to some backup location. Run the game and exit the game fully. Finally run the game again with Prat enabled.
I love prat so much! but i'm having a small problem with saving my settings after relogging. I want my editbox undocked in the center of my screen but everytime i relog it resets to the top of my chatbox; please help and thanks in advance!
I don't know what GEM is, so no, I don't use it :) I don't have any other mods that modify text or the chat frame, I guess I could try disabling everything else, although I note the above poster has already tried this. All other combination of chatlinks work fine, it's just chatter -> prat.
EDIT-Just tested with only prat running, no other addons. Same behavior. Isn't that code that's prepended to the item name, the item ID?

I just have been testing a few theories and it has something to do with parsing links for BLUE quality items. They problem only occurs with links to blue items so far.

Not in my experience...in the first screenshot I attached, I specifically had people link me an item of each quality. You can see the white, green, blue, and purple quality items all have the same parsing problem.
Prat is getting confused by the lack of the first field. Maybe someone could tweak the code to check to see if it is item, quest, etc and handle the link properly?
Found a bug, sylvanaar. It's in the PopupMessage module. It's set to my nickname obviously, and also to Eric. I have it configured to output to PopupMessage if that matters.
If a message comes up containing a raid icon and my nickname (such as a raid warning from a boss mod which is capable of adding target icons to messages, like Big Wigs), it comes up correctly, but the raid icon stays in the middle of your screen until the next time a PopupMessage is triggered with my nickname. It should fade along with the message.
The bug has been around forever, but strangely enough, it never occured to me that is was Prat's fault. It's very easy to reproduce: send a whisper to yourself containing your own nickname and a raid icon. Observe the message as it fades, but not the icon. Then send yourself another whisper with your nickname, but no icon, and you'll see it disappear.

THe CLINK:item form is correct. The other form is a legacy form - and I think chatter may be the only addon of note producing it.
Chatlink - has moved to the newer form where all CLINK's have the link type as the first thing after the CLINK:
Well, legacy support is important too...it seems all that'd be necessary is to look at the second field of the CLINK and see if it's item/quest/enchant/achievement, and if not, use fields 2-5 instead of 3-6. I tried to hack it into DecomposeLink function, but it turned out that my lua skills are too primitive. Maybe someone who is actually a programmer could add the two lines necessary?

Allright. I'm adding support for legacy format links back in.
Though addons should also be updated to stop generating links in the outdated format.
FYI The code:
[php] -- Support legacy links
if a1:match("%x+") then
a1, a2, a3 = "item", a1, a2..":"..a3
end[/php]
Past couple of updates generate the following for me
[2009/02/10 16:09:14-194-x1]: Prat-3.0-r233 \modules\ChatTabs.lua:485: attempt to call method 'UnhookScript' (a nil value)

I tried removing my chat settings, etc.

Here you go, it just looks like something's wrong with the parsing code.
You're welcome
For details:
http://www.wowace.com/projects/prat-3-0/tickets/83-set-main-drop-down-produces-an-error/
SYMPTOM:
"Set Main drop down produces an error" when you try to use AltNames module
1. Right click on a name in chat or a player in the Social Pane
2. Click on Set Main
3. Get error
SOLUTION:
1. Open World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\Prat-3.0\modules directory
2. Edit AltNames.lua file in notepad/editplus etc.
3. Go to line 880
4. Find
local dropdownFrame = getglobal(UIDROPDOWNMENU_INIT_MENU)
Replace with
local dropdownFrame = UIDROPDOWNMENU_INIT_MENU
5. Save file & exit
6. /reloadui or restart WoW

This happens to me as well, often, and with what feels like random items.
I have turned off all other mods besides Prat and AddonControl Panel, and still get this.
The only module change, from the basic install, is I turned off timestamps.

Can you reproduce?
Try disabling modules. ChatTabs comes to mind.

Curse PremiumAre you using GEM?
Have you tried it with only prat running?
I love prat so much! but i'm having a small problem with saving my settings after relogging. I want my editbox undocked in the center of my screen but everytime i relog it resets to the top of my chatbox; please help and thanks in advance!
I am having the same problem they are, as I mention above, and the problem still occurs when only running Prat and ACP (Addon Control Panel).
EDIT-Just tested with only prat running, no other addons. Same behavior. Isn't that code that's prepended to the item name, the item ID?
nm its fixed.
