UI reset?

[Newbie916]

Sometimes happens when your WoW crashes or did not close down (exit) properly. I would suggest backing up your WTF folder regularly... I learned from that a year or two ago when I was playing the auction house and lost many months of data and my UI.

My WTF folder is stored on Dropbox using a symbolic link to my WoW folder. (I also have another symbolic link with my addons folder) Doing so, I sync my addons to my other computers/laptop without the use of the Curse Client or etc. I also normally start up my WoW with a .bat file which clears the creaturecache.wdb for npcScan and zips up a copy of the WTF folder onto another harddrive.

For example, a few days ago, my druid got randomly disconnected and I lost all my chat channels/color. Instead of joining them all again, I just went to the Dropbox website, through the folders to my chat-cache.txt and then rolled back/restored just that single file to an earlier date.
