How to fix this? http://fs5.directupload.net/images/151018/ha5f7wjz.jpg
Normally it should look like this: http://fs5.directupload.net/images/151018/gpyjdeyd.jpg

And btw: Is it possible to bring the red marked button back?
Add StanceBarFrame:SetScale( SCALEHERE ); beneath line 98. I'll patch this later this week to make it easier.

The gap is a known issue that I'm fixing shortly.

What red marked button?

Apologies for the exceedingly late reply. Been hella busy with a new job.

Line 135 in modules/blizzImpBars.lua Change the -300 but take note of what number you change too because;
Line 86 in core.lua set it to the same as you have in the above file.

Btw, 21:9.... damn.....

Make sure another addon isn't conflicting because the blizzard option definitely works.

I need people to PM me any issues they've had since 6.2 or post them here. I'm going to be jumping onto a starter account to fix what I can at that level, hopefully getting some game time soon. All aboard the August 6th hype train.

Still trying to work out the definitive cause of this, deleting your Cache folder in the WoW directory solves it. Though I'm unsure as to how long for.

EDIT: "Should" be fixed with 021e but alert me if the issue persists.
Seems to persist. Just happened to me. Deleted cache - happened again. :/

SOLVED:

It seems to be the global strings - especially that one of them. Going to try and find out.

Thanks for all the work you have already put into it. Nice code, well documented, if I may add.
