nUI introduces 'nUI+' and an official newsletter...

Most people find it easier and less time consuming to let wowmatrix go check for updated addons. It became a guild favorite at one point until half the officers got hacked.

I personally stopped using it ages ago. I just download fresh addons once a month. Unless they crash out on me that is.

If people want to use crazy tools to help them manage their addons, I suggest getting a blizzard security key (token). I am not sure if they are available in other countries yet, but all U.S. players should consider getting one. If they are not in stock, just keep checking. They do not cost much and give you some piece of mind.

I have 3 accounts, one for me, and the other 2 are for my kids. We all have the security keys. A total cost of $18 USD.

Hi Spiel,

No matter which one I download from your site - Nui Release 5.01.013 and or Nui+ 5.01.013
when I load Wow it says I have been upgraded to 5.01.012. ???
Is it just the wording in it and it is really the latest release?

I manually downloaded both and installed manually.

Scott mentioned, somewhere in this forum, that he forgot to bump up the version number when he packaged nUI for download.
Sorry, I can't remember where in the forums.

I figured that. LOL

Just wanted to make sure, so he could type in the correct number.



Thanks

the only time i do use it is when i cant remember where i found that addon but most of the time there on WoWI so i dont have to use it

[gothicknight]

If any of you use the WoWI updater (the old one, which still works), you can use it to download/update nUI+.

Just thought i would let you guys know.

If anyone wants to know detailed instructions on how to do this, just let me know

This sure as hell beats using the crappy WoWmatrix.

Hi

I'll start by joining the line of people who'd shake your hand and thank you for the contributions you've made to the community. (This goes for all developers of valued addons ofc)

I came across nUI a few days ago while looking for a new UI and I have yet to try it, but as others have stated I too will be trying this and I too have donated just for the sheer class you put up against an Immovable Object. (See, no naming/shaming of Blizz at all! oh wait...)

I hope you'll find hope and energy from the many supporters you have, and that you will continue working on something that you obviously care alot about, and that the thousands of users care about - but which also, unfortunatly, takes up alot of your time.

With this new energy I hope you more closely look at this new option of a newsletter sent to those who would like this addon. I think you are on a path there that might secure you donations from existing users by way of a donate link or straight out advertisments in the newsletter. (Not ads-for-mod, but rather, just ads - google ads or what have you, I am sure an enterprising individual could benefit from this.

Now if you wanted to I am sure you could dance with Blizz and create a Support button in your addon, it has nothing to do with cash or donations or anything - it simply offers a /s or /p or /2 or what have you with the text: "I have a great UI I think you should check out! Head on over to ..."

People could then click the button and instantly advertise your UI to other players. I don't know the limits of coding, but If a cooldown was possible I'd suggest that as over-zealous people would land you in trouble from spamming.

Make no mistake. You would still rely on the goodwill of your users to put your hard work into monetary terms, but I believe recruiting more users increases your chances of getting donations.

As I've stated, an enterprising individual could still find room to manouver inside these new (useless) rules of Blizz.

I wish you continued luck and will be a contributer/donor also in the future - because I have come to realise something that Blizz should see as well. A world of warcraft with the standard UI for end-game raiding? Don't make me laugh...
