Okay, in an attempt to update and clean up this thread again, I’m going to break it into two separate sections. The first section will deal with Mods. The second will deal with Macros & Scripts.

Here are some of the most common FAQs ... feel free to add the FAQ (with answer , of course) that most annoys you in your reply, and I'll edit this post to include it. Corrections and suggestions (both informational and grammatical) also welcome.

Thanks go out to everyone who has made suggestions and comments; those who have provided additional FAQs for this post; those who have tirelessly and patiently answered all the n00bs' questions; and yes, even the n00bs themselves, for without their endless questions, this FAQ wouldn't exist.

NOTE TO ALL POSTERS: Replies to this thread should only contain comments or suggestions about this FAQ, or should contain a new frequently-asked question with answer included! Please, DO NOT clutter up this thread with questions that you need answers to. Start a new thread, that’s why we have this entire forum.

1. What? (Definitions)

3. How? (How do I install AddOns?)
4. Patch Day (What to do and not do)

6. Panic! (What to do and not do when posting a "please help" thread)
