thanks for your input, I had already given a shot at the "poor man's debug" and it didn't work, I haven't tried moving the commands as Gello suggested... I guess I have to wait until maintenance is over
my XML file is about 20k, I am also designing a frame with buttons for the warning commands... what would be the normal procedure for showing a larger file? should i go ahead and paste it here? upload it somewhere?
as long as I am asking the noob questions here's a couple of others...
1. is there a way to test addons without going into one of Blizzard's realms?
2. even in the game is it possible to simulate certain conditions, such as going into a battleground? obviously I wouldn't be doing my team any favors if I joined a battleground and spent all my time testing
3. is mana a wave or a particle?
