Posted from another thread to ensure Lax (and maybe Jafula) see it:

As far as switching toons in and out of teams, I do this too. It's perfectly fine to do this, ISBoxer will sync your Jamba team to whatever set of toons you configure. I'm not sure what trouble Mercurio was having, but if you're switching toons on the fly you're going to want to switch it in the Character Set, Export, and either log out to character selection or do a /reloadui. If you don't, then the ISBoxer Addon is still going to have macros active that specify the previous character, and it's still going to insist on putting the previous character in your Jamba team.
Lax, sorry to just be getting back to this issue, but I tried to fix it again today and had no luck.

I switch toons out constantly for this or that. I have 35 level 80s and will swap them out to try different things, to get a shot at a drop off a certain boss after an instance is halfway run, to use a toon for a particular profession, etc, etc.
Maybe I'm being lazy, but it sounds like a big pain to me to have to go into ISBoxer, change teams/characters, and export every time I want to swtich toons. Here's how I use ISBoxer - I only have ten characters listed under "Characters". I have no character-specific macros in ISBoxer. I put five characters in one team on my first computer and the other five on my second computer. I launch WoW and 5 windows launch on each computer. I log in on all at once, then pick whatever server and characters I want to play. Everything works perfectly except one thing - Jamba is broken b/c ISBoxer automatically changes my settings so that only the ten characters listed in ISBoxer are in the Jamba profile and they are all checked. So when I play those exact ten characters, all is well. However, when I play some (or more likely) none of those characters, my chat screen is constantly spammed by the message:
"No player named 'Jack1' is currently playing"
"No player named 'Jack2' is currently playing"
"No player named 'Jack3' is currently playing"
"No player named 'Jack4' is currently playing"
"No player named 'Jack5' is currently playing"
"No player named 'Jack6' is currently playing"
"No player named 'Jack7' is currently playing"
"No player named 'Jack8' is currently playing"
"No player named 'Jack9' is currently playing"
"No player named 'Jack10' is currently playing"
Everytime something I might care about in general, trade or guild chat is said, I better look quickly or the Jamba spam scrolls it out of viewable text. The other functions in Jamba are wonky as well b/c the other characters that my toons are more likely to be playing with are unchecked automatically by ISBoxer.
I tried setting up a new Character Set from scratch and unchecked all of the default configuration options, but ISBoxer still automatically (dis)configures Jamba for me. I'm going to have to turn Jamba off entirely if I can't find another solution.
Is there any way you could give users the option of having ISBoxer auto-configure Jamba? Or is there another solution to this issue?
I do want to say again that ISBoxer is absolutely fabulous. It is sad to have this wall of text only talking about a complaint I have, but it is rather frustrating to have to give up either chat or Jamba to use ISBoxer.
Thank you for all the support, you really do rock for spending so much time making such a great tool!
