Chat window settings won't save / Addons don't work
Hello illustrious Warmane staff,
I'm playing on the Lordaeron WotLK server and am having some serious issues with my chat and addons.
First the chat:
Without fail, whatever I set my chat box settings to (position, background opacity, size) as soon as I logout, even if just to the character sheet and back in, all of these settings revert to default. How can I stop this from happening? I've already gone as far as completely reinstalling the game and don't really know what else to try.
Addons:
I've tried installing several addons straight out of the well maintained forum addon lists but can't seem to get them to appear ingame. I'm an experienced WoW vet so I'm no stranger to this process. I've unzipped the files, put them in the Interface>Addons folder, logged in to the character sheet, checked under the addons button to verify they are working, all work and don't show as out of date (even though I check the box to load them anyway), but when I go ahead and log in to a character, none of them appear.
Any knowledge you may have to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure you can imagine how much time I've already spent scouring the forums, google, reddit etc. so here I am finally writing a ticket...ha.
Thanks!
