Addon that shows on screen messages for certain events and channel activities. For all those people like me who can't keep track of chat frames while raiding ;-)

Commands -
/bchatalerts arg /bca arg

Usage -
- Set global option where all alerts will be displayed. For each messsage event and channel an individual display location can be selected.
- All 4 supported display locations can always be set in the options. Locations that are not available are grayed out but still can be selected.
- Default UI Frame is fallback location if non-available locations is set for display. This way temporarily disabled addons won't mess with your settings.
