Don't suppose anyone else has suddenly had their Riposte! notice suddenly stop working with MSBT? Haven't edited anything that could possibly affect it, and i can't seem to figure out why it isn't working.

I can't seem to get ElkBuffBars to show my target's debuffs. I have it showing the buffs alright, but things like polymorph, frostbolt, etc are not showing at all.

Decursive. I love how easy it is to decurse in raids with it, but it seems like the odd thing out here. I don't know where to put it where it's easily accessible (I found right side middle to bottom was best for me as my cursor seems to be over in that area a lot), but out of the way at the same time. Any advice people can offer on this would be much appreciated.

Not with the options but if you dont mind a bit of lua editing then you can easily enough.

Open up cml.lua with your favorite text editor.

Find:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
--	Update data
------------------------------------------------------------------------

function cml:UpdateStats()
	c = date("%H:%M")

Change the %H:%M to what time format you want to show.

I typically make mine %I:%M %p which would show a time format like 05:35 PM.

You can see a list of variables here: Programming in Lua : 22.1

Are there any users of Mik's Scrolling Combat Text? I have tried Parrot and prefer Mik's. For reference Parrot does not have Victory Rush working by default either, so both mods have this problem.

My problem is getting Victory Rush to appear as a notification, in the same way an Overpower or an Execute does. I have created a trigger for Spell Useable: Victory Rush, Stance 1 and Stance 3. I've created the output message and setup. I ran the search profile and have ticked the correct chat message string (...HOSTILE_DEATH).

The part I am struggling with is the primary condition for the trigger. I have entered Search Pattern as the type, and the string I am asking to search for is "You have slain xx", where the xx needs to be the correct LUA variable. %a does not work, and I am not sure which one to try. I'm about to start digging into the raw LUA to see what powers the Killing Blow message that works by default, but does anyone have a suggestion about the correct option? Thank you.

When using the custom text option in pitbull (for player namer, health, etc.). Is there a command that can be given to use more than one font? I would like to use a more complex font for the names and a more readable font for the important information.

You'll have to set up a buff group for debuffs on target, and then you'll likely want to anchor that to your target buff group. Additionally you might want to look into the settings for "Timeless Buffs" (Or "Timeless Auras" or however that's listed). Any debuff that isn't yours is considered a "Timeless" one, as the UI only knows exact times for your own.

I did that, but it still wasn't even showing my debuffs on the target. I ended up just going back to how I used to have it with debuffs on my target frames.

Is there a way to disable, outgoing, in parrot? I see you can remove outgoing, notifications and incoming, but is there a way to just disable 1 of them? I switched back to using the blizzard damage but im going to keep the incoming and notifications part of parrot. If i remove the outgoing panel and then want it back will it automatically come back with everything thats default in the outgoing panel?

I "think" this is the correct place to ask this.

A group of my friends have started a small out of guild raiding group. We include people from multiple guilds who cannot raid at normal server times. Currently, I have everyone in a chat channel to contact/invite/see who is online. I would like to have an interface which allows me to organize and manage all these people and their alts in a guildlike interface. In an ideal situation, I would be able to "rank" players and add a note about their Spec/Gear Level.

Next question:
Currently I use Pitbull for my Unit Frames. Previously, I was using XPerl to serve the same purpose. I really liked that in XPerl I could assign my personal debuffs to be larger then the rest of the debuffs. This feature really helped me maximize my rip/mangle/FFF uptime. So far with my fiddling with Pitbull I have been unable to figure out of this is a feature and/or how to turn it on.

Thanks in advance!

It's possible to make it so only your debuffs are visible if you turn on debuff filtering, but if you're leading the raid group it may be necessary for you see everything to ensure other debuffs are up (CoE, CoS, etc)

I recently leveled my druid up to 70 and have been looking into making a UI for it. I'm like a clean UI and modeled my current one after Ryas' UI. After messing with stuff for a while, I can't see to come up with any nice setup that makes healing convenient while not taking my eyes away from the important stuff. Any suggestions on what to do with Grid and my chatboxes (I always use 2)? Or name some UIs that I could possibly use as models.

They only way I've found to fix this is to restart wow.

now, this would all be amusing cept for the fact it has a nasty habit of happening in raids when were about to pull something - trying to drag icons onto the toolbar as your about to pull kael is a pain ><

I've taken to fixing a redundant stance bar in a corner - but this is obviously not a good solution

as the times this happen are pretty random i havnt been able to link it to a particular action i am doing- i have tried turning off most of my mods one by one but as this happens pretty randomly - sometimes not for weeks sometimes 5 times in a night i'm at a loss

It has also occured outside of raids - i had initially thought a raid mod was the problem - but although more common in raids this could just reflect the time i spend in them lol

anyhoo

any help would be greatly appreciated

Try making your bar page commands into conditional macros:

/changeactionbar [stance: 0] 1

Will only switch to actionbar 1 if I'm in caster form (stance 0)

You can then bind the macro to a keybinding either by putting it on a hidden bar your not using and using the Bongos2 keybinding system or you can bind it using the /script command: (Assume that A is the key you wish to bind to and B is the name of the Macro you created) In the second line, if you use a "2" instead of a "1" it will make it a character specific keybinding.

/script SetBindingMacro("A","B")
/script SaveBindings(1)

For my druid I have these types of macros/binding setup to insure that I cant page to my dps/CC caster spells when I'm in bear form. Works like a charm

I'm using TinyTip and for some reason the tooltips do not change from the standard WoW tooltips for hostile mobs. It works fine on friendly targets, so I'm assuming this is some option/setting that I'm missing. Any ideas?

Being that I am leading the raid I would like to be able to see what other debuffs are up. Since I guess make my personal debuffs "big" isnt an option, is there a DOT timer mod which could display dots as the spell icon with the circular clock style timer on it?

And yes I know technically this falls under the "Whats that Mod type of question"

I use Natur Enemy Cast Bar to keep track of my Scorch Debuff and/or Winter's Chill. That might be what you're looking for.

Another option you have is if you use ElkBuffBars you could set up a group for your target and filter the debuffs you want to see on him, though I wouldn't be sure how exactly to do that, but it's something you could try.
