Patching blues?

Are you a heavy custom UI type of player? I know I am, and the day is patch is release is probably one of the most
frustrating days. I usually end up with all the major addons needing new updates before they will work right.Here are a few things I found to be broken in some form: Bibmod (unusable), Titan Panel (now follows the UI scaling), and Discord Unit Frames (same). Oddly enough, auctioneer still seems to work, which really surprises me!
Which UI mods do you use, and are they broken with the new patch? I will update this post with a running list of mods.

Auctioneer Works but the Rollovers overlap other tooltips. The fix is to http://auctioneeraddon.com and download the new Alpha version seems to work good with some new features.
TitanPanel works (Kinda) the Honor system is all screwed up on it.
Discord Action Button, Work but act really squrilly at times.
Thottbot Locator.. Forget it.. Its acting Really Odd
AllInOne Inventory, when using this while in the Bank it now ghosts the background and the images hover int he for ground.
PetLeash tottaly quit working.
CharacterProfiler And GuildProfiler Works but dont use it with WOWProfiler on a Website The 8th Return Value changed and it off set everything But the new versions on the http://www.rpgoutfitter.com/ site.

I use Auctioneer and Buffahoy. Both seem to work in 1.9, but only if you check the "Load out of date addons" on the Addon's menu (its on the character log on screen).

I spent the better part of a few hours on New Year's Eve setting up my BibMod action bars. All for nothing as of yesterday's patch. I forced WoW to load BibMod anyway and found that I couldn't get my bags to open. Disabled all of the add-ons, logged back in, and found that the bag graphics were FUBAR. Ended up removing the Interface directory and some directories within WTF. Let's just say I've been really busy screwing around with the interface today. I've pretty much given up on using custom interfaces. I'm back to using the default, which is going to completely change the way I've been playing the game...but so be it. I'm just sick of things breaking as soon as a new patch comes out.

The auctioneer overlap can be avoided for now if you put all your stuff in the topmost bag. It's only working incorrectly in the lowermost portion of the screen. Everything else, Enchantrix, SellEnchant (updated already), Telos's side bar, FlightMap (has been updated already) and MapNotes seem to be working fine so far. Titan Panel is working but mine is posting a message about battlegrounds honor every time I sign on or die. I heart add-ons!

My Divine Blessing window keeps getting stuck open, requiring a logoff. I think Cosmos is the only UI mod I use on my Powermac. I still havn't updated my work PC tho, and that one has a few UI mods that are probably borked now.

As a temporary fix for mods like DUF and DAB, try setting the UI size ratio to 100% (it's a setting in the Video setup section). I hate how big some objects have become, but it'll do until they patch the add-ons.

I have been using UUI for about 5 days now, and I just forced WoW to open all of the addons that were out of date. I mainly just use Titan Panel for grinding, and I haven't noticed anything going wrong.

Titan Panel seems to be getting fixed (I've gotten three e-mails with three new updates for it) and most of my other mods (including CTMOD) were updated the day of the patch.

Here's some patching blues:
EU servers were taken down for patching at 3am yesterday. Patching was supposed to be complete by 11am yesterday but a bunch of servers remained offline. After numerous "just one or two more hours" updates on the situation the latest information is that they *should* be up and running again by 4pm today (which I personally don't believe yet). Total downtime in that case: 37 hours.

this is the worst... especially when you update a bunch of mod's, and the next day, there's an update....
grrrrr!

Donate to ui.worldofwar.net You'll be able to use the site when patches are released (they close it down when new major patches come out).
All my mods work perfectly, just had to wait a day for people to get their fixes out.
Titan Bar was fixed I think a couple of hours after the US release of the patch. Most mods are even updated before the patch goes live via the Beta-system on worldofwar. Pretty nice actually. ^^
The donation is like $1 or something, I think people can cough that up. ;)
