Watched quest areas stopped appearing on map

Heya,

for some reason the watched quest areas don't show on my map any more. "Always show watched quest areas" is enabled, and I use the merged map-minimap version (which I haven't changed). I tried to run Carbonite with all other addons disabled, and the problem persists.

Take a look at the Quest Watch header (the part of the Quest Watch window with the colored buttons). Make sure the green button is BRIGHT GREEN. If it is not, just click on it to change its' state.

Here's an explanation for the Quest Watch header buttons:
Quest Watch List

The watch window is draggable but not sizeable. It grows and shrinks as needed based on the quests you are currently watching. The Watch window can be made into a sizeable scrolling list if "Use fixed size list" is checked in the Quest Watch page of the Options window.

The green button toggles if all watched quests will be shown on the map and is on by default.

The purple "Auto Track" button will target the highest priority quest objective and updates dynamically as you move. Priority is based on distance, quest level and if the quest is complete.

The yellow/blue "Quest Givers" button shows Quest Giver icons on the map. Normal ones are shown as parchment icons. Daily quest givers as blue ! icons.

Button colors:
Dark yellow = No givers
Yellow = Quest givers and daily givers
Blue = Daily givers

The white "Show Party Quests" button determines if quests from other party members with Carbonite will also be shown in the Watch List.
This is a direct copy/paste from the "CarboniteReadMe" plain text file that you can find in your "Path to your WoW folder\Interface\AddOns\Carbonite\" folder.

You're welcome. Glad I could help.

And there's no reason to "feel stupid". It's, apparently, a fairly common problem.

I solved that particular problem (for me) by moving the Quest Watch to the upper center of my screen, making the watch list "fixed size", and keeping it minimized unless I actually need to look at the quest list. I also locked the window in place so it can't be accidentally moved. A key binding can be set in the default Blizzard key binding interface to min/maximize the Quest Watch window. Just open the key binding interface, and scroll down to the Carbonite heading.
