Thanks for reply. I tried the rename and got the same problem. I also tried copying the layout-local.txt file from one of the unaffected toons to one of the affected ones with the same result. My last idea was to copy the layout-local.txt and rename it to a .bak, which had the same result again.

Could it perhaps have something to do with the way the chat frame interacts with the default UI pet bar? The three toons effected are warlock, DK, and hunter. Even though one of those only has a pet in one spec, they all have the pet bar which dissapears when the pet is dismissed and reapears when its summoned.

Is there a way (and if there is, do you think that it would eliminate my issue) to disable that pet bar functionality along with the rest of the botom bar (which has been dismantled by bartender)? Thats my only thought right now, any other ideas will be greatly apreciated and attempted.

I've been playing around with Tell Me When for a little while now, but I've been unable to get it to register the few abilities that I would like it to show, I've followed the instructions on the site, but they are quiet vague, does anyone have experience with this Addon that would be able to help me with it, I cannot get Rime, HoW, or Killing Machine to seem to be recognized.

Anybody good with this mod I’m sure its something very simple I just can’t seem to find it. here is an image of pretty much exactly what I want on Yuke's UI image, it’s about the 6 post down while fighting Hodir: Hunter PvE UIs.

I'm at work right now but off the top of my head in the SUF options for your raid frames one of the option tabs let's you indicate how many people you want per row/column.

Just hopped on my DK for the first time in months to try it out. HoW worked just fine, guessing you've got a couple settings messed up or something. Make sure you've got it set to Buff and not Debuff and that the target is Player. Also be sure that you enable the icon. Then you can set your absent/present settings as you choose, works just fine with both.

Hello! I'm working on my new interface, slowly everything comes together, and it looks pretty cool, there is only one problem i cannot solve. I want to move the chatbox exactly to the left corner to earn a little space with it too. i have a 22' LCD, but you know when someone's raiding the biggest help is if you have good view on the battleground

So i use the Prat 3.0 addon, which has a new feature , called "Zero Clamp Size". It allows me to move the frame into the corner, but unfotunately, when you reload the UI or login/out the game resets the clamp and pushes the frame back in...It is really annoying. I was working something like 5 days on this ui, and i cannot fix this pathetic problem

I know here are some really experienced posters, so please help me! Is there any way to fix this clamp thingy? The intresting thing is that i saw some interface here, at the "Share Your Interface" topic , where the chatbox was at the left edge of the screen. Not at the corner, but at the left edge, and that would be better aswell, but i cant make it stay there

By the way for what is this clamp? From what defend it us, or why is it in the engine? Thanks a lot for the answers, what i hope i'll get

I had a simmilar problem a few posts up. Try the solution that Harrelj sugested for me. It didnt work for my toons because the problem seems to be an issue with the default UI's pet bar functionality (due to which toons im having the issue on) and I still havent found a solution.

Hello! I would like to ask whether somebody here knows how to move or hide the number of "tries left" displayed in the icecrown citadel raid, is there an addon that lets you do that?

I've been having trouble with Grid working on some of my characters, I set the buffs up and check the boxes for the buffs to show up in Top Left corner and so on and when someone has those buffs it wont show up where I've put them on my grid. It works fine on my Priest, Paladin and Druid, but not on my Warrior or Shaman. Any ideas to fix this would be appreciated. I've tried redownloading and installing the addon, changing priorities of the spells, disabling then enabling the spells. Thanks in advance

Is anyone else having a problem with the new chat system not fitting in your sunnart or other mod-like addons? I have the chat window minimized as much as possible (i think, i just used the re-sizer in the lower right) and it no longer fits in the bottom portion of my screen.

I really do not want to have to make the sunnart pane at the bottom of my screen larger, in turn making my viewing area smaller... is there anyway to go back to the old chat, or make the new one smaller??

I encountered this same issue when I logged in last night.

Although I am not home to try this myself, this is what I am probably going to do:

First, see if there is still an option to shrink font size (right click over the top of the chat box). Perhaps that will decrease the overall size of the frame? Of course, tiny text isn't very fun.

Second, if the first option isn't viable for you, see if a chat box mod like oChat is available and updated for 3.3.5. This is at least a temporary and easy solution.

Edit: Check this out, someone made an add-on for restoring to the old chat box style.

I've got a problem with Nameplates. I've now used both caelNamePlates and Tidy Plates / Threat Plates, and they're both fantastic. The one major complaint, however, is that they're being drawn one ontop of the other. I've now watched a few videos that have Tidy Plates never stacking on one another, much like the default UI.

The main problem is that I want to use nameplates to see the health of Valk'yrs in heroic Lich King so we can dictate when they're all done at 50% (we're overkilling them now).

How do I make it so the nameplates always stagger themselves rather than being drawn on top of each other? I'm currently using threatplates.

harrellj · 06/24/10, 3:41 PM

There's an interface option for nameplates to disable stacking them.

Regarding the chat frame problem, there is a limit in the default UI on how much you can shrink your chat log. If you have a lua-based chat addon, try adding these lines somewhere in the code, if they aren't already there:

ChatFrame1:SetMaxResize(10000,10000)
ChatFrame1:SetMinResize(10,10)

This will make the limits on chat resizing ridiculously small/large, thus effectively disabling them. I have no idea if it works with addons that have in-game configs, but you can go ahead and give it a try. It does work with default chat frame resizing (i.e. dragging the corners).

I was wondering if there was a macro to remove tooltips from your UI completely, other than using a "hotkey" of sorts. After 3.3.5, TipTac has been giving me some issues as far as connecting and wanted to just disable it, and remove the tooltip all together (i.e. the one, by default, that's in the lower right corner of your game screen).

Is there an addon that will allow me to set it so that my mini map only shows on mouse over or if I have new mail or something of that nature?
