Ack, I always lose a few but I wasn't expecting to lose several really
big ones, some of these are ones I always thought very popular and no
real alternatives...

ABiggerBag
AllPlayed
Archy
Atlasloot
AutoDecliner
BlizzBugsSuck
Broker_Currency
ChocolateBar
Factionizer
InFlight
MoncaiCompare
OpenDefaultBag
QuestLevelPatch
TargetofTargetTooltip

(Admittedly the very simplest ones *might* work with a toc update,
I'll be trying that next...)

Keeping fingers crossed that they'll soon be fixed, else I'm looking
for alternatives - if anyone knows any good ones, I'd be glad to know!


(If anyone uses CensusPlus it should be on Curse fairly soon btw -
I've been betatesting it and it works great on beta, the dev just
needs some time to sort out a region ID problem that can't be
accurately tested on beta/PTR, hopefully, the solution will actually
work first time!)

Phew, the list is shrinking, four updated, one definitely in progress
and another three are maintained by someone who seems active, so
hopefully will be done. Looks like I need a Factionizer replacement
though, and TargetofTargetTooltip is also one I miss, although surely
there must be something out there which does the same thing!

Btw if anyone else can't get along with the new-style quest log,
Classic Quest Log is a big improvement... :-)

Hehe, I wondered if I might not be alone in preferring the old one ;-)

Im leveling a horde mage with an 300% exp pot and 6 pet battle dailies
every day which I do on other chars. So to save as much time on the pot
as possible its all about logging in, handing in the quests from the
quest log and logging out again. Asap!

This addon doesnt allow me to hand in the quests from the quest book.
The Complete! button is missing. So I have to use the map option and
hand them in from the new quest log. Very annoying. I have notified
the author about it on curse (jodlejodle in lack of brain that day hehe..).

Ah, I'm sorry to hear that. After putting so much effort into it it's a
shame to see it no longer updated. Sadly, without subscription there is not
much I can do and I don't see myself subscribing to fix it ;-)

Cheers

Yeah, I'm very sad to see it go after so long using it, think I used
it right from when you first made it and talked about it on here!
Perhaps the current maintainer will reappear though, I'll give it a
bit of time, since no other addon seems to offer the features I most
liked.

Usual story for me with addons, get attached to a perfect one, and
once it's gone I find it was also the one and only addon which did
what it did, I wish I had some programming knowledge to fix them
myself! I see someone on the Curse page has posted how they edited it
to at least stop the lua errors, I may give that a try if a new
version doesn't happen soon.

Nice, it worked! So ok, it won't recognise new factions, but the main
things I used it for were the improved rep display, particularly in
the chat frame (being honest, it's been a bit weak for actual info
about how to improve factions since you stopped playing, Urbin! Data
for old expansions is good, newer factions, less so...), so that's the
stuff I need working. Phew!

Archy
Atlasloot
Factionizer
InFlight
TargetofTargetTooltip
Inflight updated, TargetofTargetTooltip replaced with another: "Are
You Looking at Me?" if anyone else likes targets in their tooltips
without dozens of other modifications... I *like* the default
Blizzard tooltip, just want that one extra piece of info!

Still waiting on Archy and Atlasloot, but both of their devs say
they're working on it. So the addon nightmare is almost over,
unusually fast for a major patch, most times it takes me a month or
more to either replace addons or just learn to live without them!
Updated Factionizer would be nice, and QuestLevelPatch turned out to
cause taint when using quest items so I had to drop it again
(seriously, why have Blizz not implemented quest level display into
the default UI yet anyway?), but the important ones are about done.

Btw, I've switched ClassicQuestLog out for Legacy Quest Log, for
anyone who prefers the old look: CQL doesn't always remember where I
put it on the screen, probably connected to crashes, but as the
server's doing that a lot at present (sometimes you just have to
alt+F4 when you're looking at a loadscreen forever), it's not ideal!
Show how much people like the new questlog when there's two fairly
popular addons out there dedicated to putting the old one back!

I'd almost given up hope but one last check shows a new person has
taken it over! Phew! :-)

Erm, well... the new version produces more errors than the old one did
but oh well, maybe it'll at least have some chance of working soon...!

Nice, thanks! Worked after I manually edited the toc lol, this new
feature of the game bugging me about outdated addons on every login is
rather annoying... :-P

Censusplus is very close to release, I've got a final beta version of
it, which seems to work alright.

TargetofTargetTooltip
My list is shrinking, Atlasloot and Archy are both being worked on
apparently, too.

Fixed OpenDefaultbag by just editing the .toc, phew, sadly that didn't
fix TargetofTargetTooltip, I was hoping that was simple enough to just
work, but no :-( All the other tooltip addons I've tried are really
complicated with a ton of features that I don't want, even the
simplest I found insisted on putting it at my mouse instead of in the
corner where it belongs, sigh....
