naw has nothing to do with older version or not...

The whole reason cross-realm grouping never worked was because Carbonite builds your group list using UnitName("party1") - UnitName('party5") which is your characters name.

Addon communication chat, reports who sent the message as your real name-your realm, so like Rythal-MoonGuard .... the difference between the two is why it never worked before.

I had to make a decision of either updating group building to also include server, or drop the servername in addon messages ... i decided on the second since the quest watch window is ment to be small, if it starts listing realm names aswell when your sharing... that's a mess.

So in the processing, I look for the "-" character, then strip that and the server name out, but if your groupmate is not on a different realm, there is no -realm, so finding the location of "-" is nil and the next line if loc < 0 fails.
