I did have a lot of changes, mostly rescaling. It was fairly laborious
to redo them all but now things don't adjust properly with the standard
UI elements.
The new windowing and frames just don't scale they way they did before.
They used to adjust position properly with the standard elements, now
everything just overlaps and hides other panels.
Adjusting UI and rewriting lua is not fun, thats all.

Yes, I appreciated that part, no ticket no fuss.
BUT it should not happen and since I often have hundred of mails I have
to wonder if anything went really missing.
Also it messes up the accounting, what sold for what recorded.
Hmmm I put up a 553 tailor hood, not on auction , not in mailbox, not
in bags, check all characters maybe I put it on another banker?, nope.
I DID make it , didn't I? maybe I dreamed it.
A day later 8k and 3k turns up in amongst all the rest.
Cancelled auctions before final logout I think I should have had 150
spirits of harmony as well not 70, they didn't turn up.
Not really a huge worry given the automatic recovery, they will
probably be there in a couple of weeks, just a large niggling doubt that
what is on the screen is accurate..

I keep bouncing addons on and off, most times I run into a new or old
bug. Sometimes the AH shows no items and I post, then the very next
update shows a fully populated price range so a few dozen gold down the
drain.
Not a huge problem, I just spend more time double checking now.
Actually the double probably evens out, in an active market the number
of time I have seen an undercut seconds before posting..
Again it is more the doubt rather than monumentally deal breaking.
I am sure others were having similar problems, either addons or not.
Why were people buying my 50g spirit of harmony single stacks when there
is now good supply at 40? Not a bid, a buyout.
Why buy 10 singles when there is a 10 stack right there at 40, and a
bunch of singles at 40-45?
Giving me 100g extra just because they are generous? or broken numbers?
Given that people will go for 1 copper less I am pretty sure what
they are seeing is wrong, so I have to think what I am seeing could be
wrong.
I freaks me out and makes me nervous , way too much stress
:-)
