OH Crap!

OH Crap!

The latest version, 8.01 or whatever has been released.

The Lords of WoW have been patiently working behind the scenes. The latest patches are in and things seem to be working themselves out. Even the Addons seem to have been able to survive the process.Version 8.0.1 is stable, from Wow's perspective.

Still, no one has looked at the addons yet. The number of addons being used are the fewest since addons came into being. There is the Post Office (Postal) and there is the Auctioneer with Enchantrix and Informant.

There have been NO addon updates or changes made yet, but things are still working even without the new expansion.

As of twenty minutes ago everything was working fine. But now the old Auctioneer has crashed and no longer functions properly. Auctioneer is the most complex of the few addons being used, but it is crucial.

For now, do NOT open Auctioneer until a fix is available.

The Fix is In

The Gods of Wow renamed the cache. interface, and WTF files to reset the system to it's base settings. There was a re-launch to see what was there. No addons were added on the first test, which was successfull. Encouraged, a single addon was added for the next launch. That addon is Postal, which has always been a very simple and stable addon. On re-launch Postal showed up in the addon list. The only addon, so far. Chaitee tested Postal and it was working as intended. So far so good.

The big test comes next. The most important addon of them all is Auctioneer. There are two ways to install that addon. Curseforge is a program that handles a lot of different games, one of which is Warcraft, and it also can be used to install addons for WoW was well. Curseforge promised that they could install Auctioneer directly from them so the okay was given to do it that way. It failed. Boo to Curseforge.

So, we went back to the original owner of Auctioner, the Lady Norganna. The addon is still being maintained even in the current 8.1 version. The install went flawlessly. Chaitee is as happy as happy can be. YEA!
