problem with saving in wow

[Jubber]

May be a dumb question but how do you logout of the game. Do you use the escape logout option, or do you X out of the different wow screens? When you make changes in the game, addons, new macros, and what not if you X out it will not save. If your clients crash it will not save. If you actually do the logout option or type /logout it will save your changes.

Sorry didn't get a chance to read your other thread yet so I gotta start somewhere lol.

very good question i THINK that i do X so if this is it thanks alot! also anything about me not being able to turn off addons? :/

Yeah that annoys me too lol. I hate it when I spend so much time making up new macros to try on an encounter then one of my clients crashes and I lose everything I just did. so now whenever I make changes I logout after so they are completely saved. All you have to do is logout to the character selection screen and that will make it permanent.

For the addon issue, it may be several things but the first thing i check is whether or not the check box is grey or yellow. check ot make sure at the top if it lists your player or addons for all. Sometimes for me, I have to switch it to a different player and then back to addons for all to make it stick.

use symlinks for most folders but the WTF ones will help performance and will allow wow to save settings without overlap (though macros etc... are saved on server side now and in per account wtf sub dir so that shouldn't actually cause such problem) - please also rename your thread to a more appropriate title

The original thread I used for SymLinks is here: http://www.dual-boxing.com/showthread.php?t=4453. I personally could not get the script to work, but found (Page 5, Post 46 the Link Shell Extention program).

That was really easy to use... this is the site: http://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinks...kshellext.html to make my SymLinks.

I believe it is Symbolic Links in Vista and Junction Points in XP, but the site lets you know which version you need based on your operating system. I also needed to download something from the microsoft site for the program to work, there was a link at the bottom.
