I've been trying out my enhancement shaman and fury warrior since the latest patch, and feel like I really need a mod to control a limited set of buffs and show me when they are up. For example, all the new shaman maelstrom procs, as well as the instant-slam proc for my warrior.

At the moment, I have my buffs up in the top-right of the display, so, if I miss the SCT notification that the procs have occurred, I often miss the fact that the buffs are there. I know I should be watching the buffs in the top-right all the time, but often my attention is focused elsewhere. Is there any mod that I can use to just select the relevant procs and buffs, and have them moved to somewhere else?

Ideally, I'd like them near my unitframes, which I keep near my actionbars towards the bottom of the display.

Like supplicum said, PowerAuras can do this by showing certain graphics when things proc or you gain a certain buff.

Buff/debuff bar mods can also do this if they support filtering. Take a look at NeedToKnow, Elkano's Buff Bars, and Satrina's Buff Frames.

In regards to the chat problem (not being able to see party/raid and so on).
For me the problem went away by disabling BigWigs bossmods.
I tried Prat3.0, Chatter, standard chat and evertime bigwigs activated my chat was gone.
I now run the combination of pChat and DBM and it seems to work.

Maybe that helps.

Has anyone run into an issue where one of their mods is somehow displacing the achievement window so that it is partially off the screen?

Mine is displaced upwards such that the top centimeter or so is off the screen.

I know that disabling all of my addons fixes the issue, so it must be one of the 50+ addons I run, but if someone else has narrowed it down I'd love to save the hour of disabling addons one by one.

I'm assuming you're talking about the actual achievements pane, not the achievement tracker? I can't help you, but I came to this thread to post a similar question - my achievement TRACKER is now displaced so that only the heading is visible at the very bottom of my screen. I believe it started happening when I installed Satrina's Buff Frames, which is frustrating because I would like to continue using this addon. Before the achievement tracker was located in the middle on the right-hand side of my screen, and now it appears to be attached to my minimap, as it is displaying a little bit below and to the left of Simple Minimap.

Is there a way to move my achievement TRACKER?

Yeah, I meant the Achievements Pane. My only issue with the achievement tracker is that it sometimes won't show up at all. It only seems to show if I have some other quest being tracked as well, and even then not all the time. This is probably some kind of issue with bEql or some other mod I run though.

Now that a lot of UI info is stored server side, is there a way to disable that? I use a friends computer fairly often, and it seems to overwrite his keybindings.

I have a problem with Bartender4 which is kind of a dealbreaker at the moment.

Every once in a while (2 times since the patch) it will not change paging when I switch forms.
So i get stuck with a healing bar in bearform, which is kind of embarrassing.
Alt+f4 and logging back in fixes this, but if I just log out to character screen it stays the same.

Any idea?

Kumar · 10/22/08, 10:17 AM

I had that issue with Bartender 4 and stealth and switched back to Dominos.

I have issues with simpleminimap. Everytime I log in, it has the default Blizzard map on and I have to right-click and select the Skin again for it to go to its intended position and map skin.

Any idea why that would happen?

I have tried for a pretty long time to get oUF_BarFader to work.
I have to add it in the toc file, but I'm not really sure which path to the file I should add, or if I'm completely wrong on it.
Anyone who can help me out?

Using Pitbull.

I am using the "empty space" bar to provide some spacing between my HP bar and my power bar. I can't seem to find a way to make it completey see through. It is see through but I can still see the darkness in it. I want it to be transparent, like the HP bar is its own thing and the power bar is its own thing.

If Pitbull can't do that, what unit fram can?

Did you make the frame background completely transparent under Global Options -> Colors? That's what makes the border-esque looking lines arounds the hp/mana bars, and is probably what's causing your blank bar to not be transparent. I had a transparent blank bar at one point, so it should be doable.

I'll answer my own question. NDragit has a bug where it displaces certain panes upwards. It was the one displacing the Achievement Pane off the top of my screen, and the author of NDragit seems to have abandoned it some time ago.

If anyone else has a nice, simple addon that allows panes to be dragged around quickly as desired, do tell.

Looking for a replacement for Craftlist for 3.0 to automatically respond to people who need to see what enchants I can do/ their mats. I'd think such an addon could be substantially simpler and just link a profession window to people in response to a predefined trigger now, has anyone done it yet?
