TOM - Tamriel Online Messenger - Reborn
TOM was placed into the discontinued category shortly after update 34, and since I thoroughly enjoy it I wanted to change that. TOM is the best chat manager available right now so I made it a priority to bring it back to life. Sternentau assigned me all copywrite ownership to continue the project and future development. I am honored to carry the torch and contribute with this goal in mind. After looking at the code and getting familiar with the functions I got to work on restoring the addon in its entirety. Each and every feature of TOM has been restored to operable condition and built upon to make it even better than before!
While the addon was being fixed I took the initiative to add some quality of life changes. TOM has been reconstructed by adding convenient new features for players! After all was said and done I decided that I was very pleased, and felt compelled to release the final product here for everyone to enjoy! After about a week of coding and numerous cups of coffee later I am happy to present to you:
TOM - Reborn
A full list of fixes, changes, and additions to TOM will be documented in the changelog for review at any time. Screenshots are also provided should you want them.

INTRODUCTION
Never miss an important message again!
We all have discovered a weakness in Elder Scrolls Online.. the in-game chat management leaves much to be desired.
Nearly every one of us has missed a whisper because we were in combat or distracted by anything special.
Seconds later the chat has faded out or shifted up from other system messages, spam and text so we never see it again..
This now comes to an end!
TOM - Tamriel Online Messenger will keep your messages safe and keep you properly notified.
Whenever there is a whisper, a call from the guild or a party message that arrives TOM will keep track of it all.
TOM is always keeping an eye on all channels and you can customize your personal settings.
Depending on your settings, TOM will open automatically or you will be noticed by a flashing sign if anything occurs while you are away.
Let TOM handle the responsibility of not missing anything important!
For guild masters and active guild members there are many 'Guild Functions' implemented such as display status, jump to guild member, mail to guild member and more..
Within the catacombs of TOM you may store 'Scrolls' of your own text and post them to the chat - great for roleplay, trade and mail operations.
KEYBINDS / HELPFUL TIPS
You will likely open or close TOM often in future to review messages - so I would recommend you set a keybind for this action. Guild masters can bind another key for the 'Guild Functions' window if desired. Here are the functions that can be bound to controls.
