[Deserves a Flame] WIM just plain not working

[Guest] [joshmiller83]: Can we get an Astrolabe fix please? Or has WIM stopped being developed?
[DevTeam] [Astaldo]: You can disable wim2wim for now or visit the forum thread where you originally posted the issue
[DevTeam] [Zeke]: Yay for spam!
[DevTeam] [Zeke]: ....
[DevTeam] [Zeke]: I love that I get emailed when someone reports spam on the boards, but I can't do anything about it.
[DevTeam] [Nachonut]: lol i got you
[DevTeam] [Astaldo]: How about "hide email address from public checked" and it's still visible in all my posts...
[DevTeam] [Astaldo]: I'd delete my account on this site, but by the time I realized the problem half the spambots on the planet had it already
[Developer] [Pazza]: Astaldo if you log out and view your profile with a refresh you'll see that your email is hidden.
[Developer] [Pazza]: Your user level on the forums permit you to see emails even though they are marked hidden.
[DevTeam] [Astaldo]: Ah.. thanks for the clarification and apologies for "crying wolf" in that case :
[DevTeam] [Kaidenn]: PAZZA! i miss you.
[DevTeam] [Nachonut]: Lol, it's funny how it takes spam message reports to get me to come back
[DevTeam] [sylvanaar]: Check out the beta tester forum. Need alpha testers and feedback so I can come up with a maintenance plan.
[Developer] [Pazza]: loaded some new spam prevention modules... lets see if this stops the bastards.
[DevTeam] [Maziel]: Thought I'd check in and say Howdy Doody from Australia
[DevTeam] [Maziel]: Yeah the spam from shoes salesmen was becoming insane
[Guest] [Delakando]: What ever happened to the ability to track friend's location by wim? Other then just showing their general zone location.
Zeke pokes his head around the corner.
[DevTeam] [Zeke]: Anybody home?
[Guest] [Theillur]: I would like to know if it is just me.
[Guest] [Theillur]: http://www.wimaddon.com/forums/index.php/topic,1796.0.html
[Guest] [Nev]: I'm here
[Guest] [Nev]: I don't think anyone else is though
[Guest] [tomasio]: great site [url=http://freeonlinemusicvideos.net].[/url] [url=http://freepeopleclothing.org].[/url]
[Guest] [Theillur]: Nev it is not working for Zeke as well.
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: im here
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: ...
lothaer yawns sleepily.
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: sooooooooooooooooo
[Guest] [j3ff]: Hello. It is very quiet. I would love a response to my thread directly below your "Been very quiet" thread!
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: Check out my new post in the Skins forum
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: Posted a new download in the skins forum check it out
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: Zeke, Maziel, Pazza, Nachonut, sylvanaar, Kaidenn, Astaldo where are you?
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: It would be a real shame if WIM was left to die.
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: i think these forums are dead, Sylvanaar dosnt post on them as he only bug fixes when possible. WIMs future isnt very bright
[Guest] [justgiz]: Yea, its rather sad.
[Guest] [silvercola]: I wish it had skype
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: noy possible for a addon to do.
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: ...........
[Guest] [elzershark]: where is the download file?
lothaer beckons everyone over to you.
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: has anyone been able to take WIM to the beta yet?
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: PTR*
[DevTeam] [Maziel]: *sticks head up and looks around*
lothaer cries.
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: who the hell flagged my post as spam?
[Guest] [primalforce]: Hey guys
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: hello Primalforce.
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: PAZZA COME BACK!!!

Whenever someone messages me or I try to message someone, the Fubar plugin flashes that I have a new message, but I just get an error when I click on it and try to open the window. My swatter gave me an error message for WIM that mentioned Prat, so I disabled that and it alerts me in the fubar plugin that i have a new message but doesnt automatically bring one up, however it did let me message.

dude... try updating your addons... WIM 2.4??? that was during burning crusade... like September.

[NachoNut]

Jesus that's quite a list of addons you got there.  Considering you still have that version of wim, I would probably go through EVERY addon you have and update all of them... ONE BY ONE

[Jebus]

All of them are updated via the Curse Addon, not sure why it shows WIM as a version that old. It definitely shows as 3.0 in game.

[NachoNut]

Either way I would manually go download the newest post of WIM from curse or even this site, delete the old wim folder and put this one in and let us know if you still get the same error. Mainly, do the same with prat imo.

[Jebus]

That fixed it. I feel dumb now =/ I thought reinstalling them via the curse client would be enough. Now I know, and knowing is half the battle.

[NachoNut]

Due to that issue directly, I would enforce that for every addon you have. Shouldn't take more than 30 minutes but it's worth it.

Glad we helped.

[Zeke]

Here's what I do from time to time.
1. I log in and take a good hard look at my addons and write down the ones I just can't live without.
2. Then I go to the World of Warcraft/Interface folder, highlight everything in it and press delete (I also usually delete my WTF just to be safe).
3. I then take that list of addons that I must have, re-download them from the most up-to-date source I can find (look for official sites, such as this one).
4. And then log in and reconfigure everything from scratch.

Sure, it can take some work, but I definitely recommend doing this at least every expansion or so.... at least...

In fact, I'm thinking it's just about time for me to do it again.... And probably one more time after 3.1 hits. (It hasn't patched yet right?)

[Pazza]

No 3.1 yet Zeke, but welcome back!

[Zeke]

No 3.1 yet Zeke, but welcome back!

Oh good, I haven't missed too much then. Being disconnected from the internet starts to play with your head after a little while.

[Stewart]

ZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKE!

[NachoNut]

This thread has officially been hijacked!

[Zeke]

ZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKE!

But I'm not back just yet. Having some computer issues that I'm trying to sort out this weekend, then we'll see.
