With Mists of Pandaria on the way and some time to prepare for the coming storm, now is the best time to work out some of the kinks in your user interface. Always wanted to try a new spell timer? Thinking about ditching one DPS meter for another? Do it now, when you're just kind of hanging out. What about all those old-new players who are coming back because of the new Scroll of Resurrection? What types of user interface concerns do they have?
At Reader UI of the Week, we love to help you with your UI design woes, discussing ways to change or adjust your UI to get it to look a little bit cleaner, a little bit smoother, or just plain nicer. If you're going to send in a call for help, please be as descriptive as possible.
Submit your user interface to Reader UI of the Week by emailing, coincidentally, readerui@wowinsider.com. Here are some tips to remember and information to include when you are submitting your UI or call for help:
- Include "Reader UI of the Week" in the subject of your email. If it's not there, your email might not get through.
- Pictures are good, and the bigger, the better.
- You don't have to write a novel, but definitely write enough that readers get a sense of why you did what you did. What are your biggest priorities when putting together your UI?
- Did I mention that pictures are awesome?
- If you are submitting a user interface that is modified off of an existing UI compilation, tell me what you changed and what was important about those changes. Anyone can go and just pick up a premade compilation.
Interested in getting the most out of your user interface? Come back once a week for more examples of reader UIs. For more details on individual addons, check out Addon Spotlight, or visit Addons 101 for help getting started.

I submitted a UI a couple of weeks ago, but the email wasn't titled correctly. Should I re-submit it with the requested title? Or can I just presume it was rejected and not resubmit?

I would think it couldn't hurt to resubmit it so at least you know that it went to the right place and got looked at.

Resubmit, definitely.

i must say I use elv UI and clique, there is nothing unique about my UI. I tried to create my own UI with bar tender and all those but I just couldn't get it all right for me, it really is A LOT of work. elv and clique have just kinda made what i want together. I'm not power auras guy, I rather use tellmewhen. I'd submit but it wouldn't be creative or original visually. All the things I really need or want is invisible, clique, crapaway,tellmewhen(not very visible unless i need to cast it). Obviously a healers. BUt even as my warlock I use a normal elv ui dps caster look with a good tellmewhen set up. I'm a huge fan of tellmewhen and elv just makes it a lot easier for my party boxes and action bars be where I want them to be.

Nontheless I love this section and it can give me some really good ideas on how I want to set up certain things and helped me edit my already easily editable UI. Gosh I elv has just made things so much easier on me.
