Looking for Addon that Notifies when members Join or Leave a Guild

SilverBride

My notification for members joining or leaving our guild stopped working a very long time ago. It did this once then months later came back and worked fine again.

I ended up leaving that guild and joining another, then several months later it did it again in the new guild, and it still hasn't come back. It's been well over a year now.

I already tried disabling addons etc. to see if one of them was causing this, but it's almost impossible to test it not knowing exactly when a member will be joining or leaving. The only way I know if a new member joined is when someone in guild chat welcomes them.

Is there an addon that controls this feature that I can install and set to give these notifications? Maybe that will fix this problem.

Thank you.

The game will notify you concerning members of the most recent guild you've looked at the roster in. It will stay that way until you look at another of your 4 remaining guild rosters. Then THAT guild will show the notifications. You can also just check the guild history for that information

I am only in one guild.

I know I can check the guild roster but I would like to get these notifications as they happen.

"No Thank You" has some settings for guild roster alerts. Maybe the setting to redirect to chat will help you.

SilverBride

Thanks. I'll look into that.

There seem to be a lot of versions of No, thank you. I guess I should get the Gold Road one. I hope I don't need them all.

If you're just in 1 guild, then you do already get instant notifications as it happens in addition to it being viewable on the roster.

MIne has been broken for well over a year. There are no sounds and the notification text at the top right corner of the screen no longer appears.

I know I can check the roster, but I like to hear people when they join so I can welcome them.

I've never heard of or experienced that bug.

Perhaps work out a time with an officer of the guild where you can turn your addons off, have someone drop & rejoin, and see if the bug persists for you.

SilverBride

I know it's still broken because sometimes I see people say "Welcome" in guild chat, and if I look at the roster I see someone had just joined.

This has happened to me in 2 different guilds. The first time it happened, a few months later it just started working again. But this time it hasn't.

Anyway I am going to see if toggling it on with No, thank you gets it working again.

I'm confused. You mentioned inability to test with addons turned off because you never know when someone will join.

I suggested a method where you could very quickly rule out addons being the culprit.

Oh, wow, I didn’t know it works that way. Thank you for explaining it!

SilverBride

Sorry for the confusion.

I left add-ons off for a few hours one day and my friend told me when he heard someone join. I still didn't hear it.

Oh, my bad. I was going off of your comments that you couldn't test with addons off.

My mistake. I wasn't clear about that.

But I installed No, thank you and set it to not turn off guild roster announcements, so I'll see if that fixes it.
