Addons you are running
Happens with non (disabled all to see if it was a conflict)

Fixed in the latest alpha (available shortly from Curseforge). Now defaults to showing the icons.

haha i was going to submit a ticket on this. i like having the guide flag show as the murloc newbie symbol does not always show from blizzard. having both not always show is a problem.

Its odd I'm sure it was working recently

Looking at the code this behaviour is deliberate

* It only shows the murloc if you are a mentor and a new player sent the message

* It only shows the flag if you're a new player and a mentor sent the message

It would be nice to have the option to keep it to the blizzard default (shows both if you're in the channel) or a toggle to turn it to how Prat is displaying it now

Not seeing an icon should mean that whoever sent the message is in the same group as you are (guide or newbie)

For sure, but would be nice to have the option as its not the default. I prefer making it both so at a glance I can see when a guide has sent a message specifically and its not just a normal channel message (yes I know chats are named/coloured but icons are way quicker to catch out the corner of your eye)

It's definately weird not seeing the flag icon, makes it harder than before to see at-a-glance if another guide has answered the new player or not.

Tbh, just the icon (without the "Guide" text), should be enough - and this how it was in the default UI until recently

Some history as I wrote the original implementation. The guide icons were not supposed to show up when you're a guide (same with murlocs if you were a new player). Not sure if that behavior has changed in 10.0, but when I implemented this originally it was a direct mirror of the behavior from Blizz's ChatFrame.lua :)

A toggle would be amazing, but some of us very much don't want to see the flag on every message :P

Ok. I've gone back through the code, seems it was changed so that this happens:

1. Mentor flag visible if you are in newcomers chat and a mentor or anytime any chat if you're a new newcomer
2. Murloc visible if you are a mentor and the newcomer is in any chat.

Both of these seem fine. But this is not particularly the behavior of Prat right now.
From what I've seen myself, there's 2 ways Prat differs:

1. in the newcommer chat, for the guide it now shows not just the icon, but the 'guide' text too.
2. the guide icon + guide text is shown for me (who I am guide) even in normal dungeon groups, which I'm fairly sure it should not happen (if any, it should only be shown to the newcommers in the group, on their screen, but there was no newcommer in group anyway)

1. That matches Blizzard behaviour
2. That will no longer be the case, fixed that.
