Originally posted by duhwhat limited testing. disabling the pvp class icon caused the threat overlay to disappear; moving the health text via options, otoh, did not.
confirmed that its the class icons causing this. i redid all my settings, left the class icons enabled, and the threat overlay is working. disable class icon display, the threat overlays disappear.
Thank you for reporting your problem. I've found the problem and has been fixed.
Originally posted by duhwhat I will have to go back and test it; it doesn't start happening till after a /reloadui, so i will check each one that i do in sequence, with a reload after each one.

Originally posted by duhwhat hello. there's something that causes the threat overlays to disappear if you fiddle with text settings. Its only reversible by deleting the WTF file, but that obviously scraps all the settings as well.
Originally posted by duhwhat also just noticed this on login, did not happen around the time i was fiddling with the threat overlays not working

Originally posted by Raederle I'm using the current version here in WowInterface of 2.3.1. for tank plates and 5.9.5 for tidy plates. Both were a new install for me over the weekend.
I am trying to get the effect of
Very long mob name here justified right 80
......................... Kinda Short name right 80
.................Medium plus mob name right 80
What I actually get is
Very long mob name here justified right 80
...............Kinda Short name right............ 80
...........Medium plus mob name right....... 80
And bah humbug, I had one option that I thought was set to right, set to left. Mea culpa, non issue.
Soooo, next question. I see that I have a new tooltip that shows alllll the many debuffs on the mob I'm hovering over. Is that you? Can I turn it off? Dotimer already does this for the few things I care about. What I would love to see is a tooltip that shows *who* the mob I mouseovering is targetted on. If it's my fellow tank I can relax. If not, I need to taunt.
And last question. Is there any way to make the nameplates bigger for specific mob names? Currently on the Arthas fight, for example, I have to pick up the ravaging spirits out of a sea of ghouls. If their namebox was bigger than the rest, that would help. I'd love to be able to enter specific mobnames to resize and am fine with having to type it exactly right and have no more than 3-5 I change on the fly.
Thank you for an excellent mod. Even as is, I'm keeping it. I'm just going through the throes of "but make it better for meeeee!".

Lol, glad to see I wasn't losing my mind.
I'm not sure if you're familiar with my other nameplate theme "Clean Plates", but in that theme I had some special nameplates for mobs like yogg zero's "Marked Immortal Guardian" and some nameplate options for specific pets and the quite annoying "Onyxian Whelp".
I've set out a massive undertaking when I created clean plates that has gotten the attention of a lot of users asking for more mobs to be "special" since no other addon even remotely could create such easily distinguishable targets.
So I set out to somehow mesh those 2 nameplate addons together.
After having been reworking threat plates over the past 2 months or so I've been finding myself running into tiny problems that take a while to properly address and the meshing keeps being put back. I also have my UI that I've been constantly updating and preparing for a new release which hopefully will look awesome.
So with all my babble aside I'll probably be adding that feature as well as a way to add your own "custom names" for easy spotting.
Getting to that point will definitely take its time.

Originally posted by Raederle I just started using this mod this weekend, and I took an hour this morning to go play with the text functions. Some of the alignment seems not to be working. I am trying to place the name text within the namplate, aligned right so that it abuts the level text (the health text has been moved elsewhere) and a width long enough to show most of the name. I don't mind if the beginning part of the name hangs around outside the box.
The theory is that the last word in the name is the most important, i.e: incredibly-long-boring-mobname-SLAYER vs incredibly-long-boring-mobname-WARRIOR. The result isn't working. While I can align the text BOX where I like, the text is still only ever centered within that text box. How can I left align the name itself, not just the space in which the name may be placed?
Thanks, Raederle
What version of Tidy Plates are you using?
Align left and align right work just fine, maybe I'm not understanding what you're trying to achieve?

Originally posted by panga666 I couldnt see anything about filtering on the addon info (but it's early so maybe i missed it?)
Could i filter out insignificant stuff , like the snakes on the floor in the beginning of Gundrak? Tears me up when all of a sudden there are 10 red bars floating around , and its just critters.
