Not sure what to tell you. I looked up the answer on the WoW forums and told you what a support technician told someone else that had the same question as you.
Edit, after disabling some addons I thought might be causing the conflict, all options now appear for me in game when I disabled all Tiptac addons. I hope there will be a fix for this and also hope this helps ppl with the same issue.
Hi, Iam using the latest English version, I do not see any errors coming up, in game or in Bugsack. Would you like me to list all addons I use? Thanks
"Hi great mod u got here. Unfortunately Iam not seeing all the settings in the options page. In the first screenshot you have posted I have only about half of those options. I have 7 total in graphics options, the pic has 13. All of the cool features like spell lvl detail are missing from my page. Any ideas? Thanks"

Here are two screenshots of wetlands to illustrate what I mean:
Originally posted by Jackalantern Is it possible at all to have the option to disable WoW's in-game fog effect? Considering that increasing the farclip beyond maximum is useless in 90% of zones because natural zone fog obscures whatever further view you could have.

Could this mod be separated into a GUI addon and the addon that actually loads the settings when you log in? This would be nice as I don't need the GUI loaded all of the time.

I am extremely happy with this addon. The only thing I'd like to see is instead of only having the sliders for the options, you made the numbers a text box. So I can type the precise number in. I have an example of other addons that do this if you'd like to see a screenshot or what not. I just feel that it would make it a lot easier.
@Silenia
I'm sorry for this.
But this addon is mainly inteded to only switch things on/off or tweak some "already built-in" console-variable-things.
If this blizzard alwaysCompareItems is buggy for you, you might try out the "EquipCompare"-Addon ( http://www.wowinterface.com/download...ipCompare.html ) or use the SHIFT-Key to show the comparisation-tooltip. [/b]
With the use of that option though, I was hoping to not depend on tekKompare.
