Ah, replied before seeing this - your problem is that you're using an
addon to control your addons, not the default system method. You need
to logout of your character, then in the bottom left corner of the
character select screen, is an addons button, which always lets you
select which character to select addons for. You're using the addon
Addon Control panel, which I know nothing about except that it exists;
it sounds as though it's not working well though, so I'd be inclined
to bin it and use the normal method instead ;-)
