Impersonate GM

[sapiano]

hey, i was speaking to a GM today, and the small Blizz icon didnt come up, instead there was some sort of script, im not sure if anyone can use this to Impersonate a GM. Heres a Screenshot.

I think a picture in your interface folder or something dont exist but it should so it got ****ed up...

[dracoboy7]

year there has mean alot of bugs like that :S i thought it was my WIM addom

[joho]

Or chat-addon messing it up, I cant even see the icon.

[sapiano]

ah right ok, sorry then

[Stew]

I can confirmthat it is whatever chat frame modification. that script that you can see is UI code to describe an icon in chat,
|TInterface\\AddOns\\Path\\To\\An\\Icon.tga:0:0:0:-1|t
presumably the modification is escaping the | for some non-apparent reason, making that show instead of the icon.
If you're feeling lucky you can try it the same way you used to fake tags, but it could get messy, and also takes up a lot more of ytour 256 character message space

oh and WIM won't mess it up, trust me on that

[Razmataz]

According to that.. It is an ITEM! too.

[Stew]

actually now that raz's pointed it out, its probably some broken URLcopy features thinking that ui-chaticon-blah:18 is in domainort syntax

[sapiano]

what does all this mean? :P did i do something good? lawl

[himynamebob1]

lol looks funny tho

anything.blp means it's an image.

In this case (original poster) you must have been editing your textures, models, or something like that which has caused one of two things here.
A) Your blizz.blp is missing.
B) Your blizz.blp is corrupted.

Sorry :-\

Sorry :-

Or a chat addon is interfering with it.

[Gilean]

That happens whenever a GM whispered me ( I have chatmod )

[Saiket]

It's got nothing to do with the image being missing; a missing image will show up as a transparent square. It's most definitely some sort of URL parser thinking that the image path was a link.
