Agreed. I prefer Carbonite by far over QuestHelper. Can't beat that google map-like minimap in my opinion.

I just recently replaced Quest Helper with Carbonite, and I now consider it a 'Must Have' addon. Several people over at Magtheridon have been using it and recommended it. I was reluctant to try it at first, but now I'm a believer. Carbonite shows more detail, adds a new mini-map that adjusts to your position on the map for quest tracking, high-lights zones of the map that contain mobs related to your quests, takes up much less memory than QH, and is over-all much more stable.

I'm loving Carbonite just took a little getting used to like any new addon.

I turned off the punks window though.
If I could figure a way to get the waypoint arrow to let me type the coordinates in Carbonite would be perfect for me.

I have been using carbonite for a while now. It's is my second favorite mod, right after Jamba, in my addon's folder. Its 11 bucks a year and well worth it. No need for map mods, quest mods, or button wranglers. It even shows what you have in your inventory. It will show your party, and other carbonite users including what quest they are on, on your map... + much more. I use Jamba, xperl unit frames, ArcHud, Macaroon, Healbot, Titan Panel and Prat. No conflicts with Carbonite. Nice GUI as well.

I switched from QuestHelper to Carbonite Quest (free version). I was very impressed at first. Then I realized that Carbonite does not inform you of your alt's quest progression. I removed it and came back to QuestHelper just for that.

if you are just looking to display those pieces of data (amongst others), i recommend statuswindow2. fubar was always total overkill for my needs. statuswindow lets you display info where ever you like. in my case i have it worked into my cutesy eepanels that wrap my chat boxes.

it does if you run carb on all your alts (at least on the full version). may not be worth it if you are short on memory.

carbonite is incredibly useful, tho it took a fair bit of tweaking for me to get it displaying what i wanted when i wanted.

Grab Macaroon xtras for menu and bag bar handling.

have you been able to get a pet bar working through macaroon? that is the one trinity feature i haven't been able to replicate. sadly, i'm using ct_bar just to display my petbar. feels wasteful. =(

Thats perfect. One thing i always got annoyed with, with fubar was when i moused over the alts screens. (i use a qud split on a single monitor) and the mouse would stay open on one of the fubar items covering half the screen

I had my pet bar working (tried to make a possess bar and seem to have broken it), in the bar options you can tick the pet option to make it a pet bar. Then you need to make the active state 'pet' (by left clicking the bar until the state changes to the right one), I think finally you need to add buttons and then change them so they are the 'pet ID' type.

As I said, mine was working, but I think I broke it by fiddling around.

And a few addon questions of my own:
a) Anyone know if you can get an addon to display information from another toon of your choosing (more details in a few), I'm trying to set up two druids for multiboxing and would love to be able to see the following information from either toon (but not get swamped if I'm in a group/raid with others):

1. DoT/HoT duration
2. Cooldowns (not sure how configurable ct_raid/oRA2 are, but that's what I have at the moment with cooldowns hidden)
3 Temp buffs - e.g. eclipse/nature's grace

I know addons which do this for one character, but wasnt sure if there are any which will let me share that information between two characters.

b) <-being too lazy to look, anyone know if gatherer is working? One of my toons is a herbalist, so I'd like to be able to see any potential nodes from the non-herber (and I think gatherer can do this, I just never got around to installing it).

c) I'm using bagnon for my single characters, it makes one bag, but also lets me know in the tooltip how many of each item I have (and if it's in my bags or bank), anyone know if it would be possible to share this information across accounts? I'm using windows XP if that makes any difference. Or if there's another addon which does the bag thing, but lets you share across accounts (I used to have one which did something slightly different, but let you send data to someone else), preferably not something with too much other junk added in.
