We just finished moving all of our sites to new servers. If you notice anything not working the way it should be, please let us know.

[Edit]: We've just merged the "Member Guides", "Raid", "Tradeskills" and "Quest" forums into one forum named "Gameplay". We have also created a new forum "UI Screenshots, Feedback and Design Discussion" since there seems to be enough call for it.

Notes for authors:

One of the things that has changed, in part due to the move although not completely, is that we are going back to our old policy of only allowing .zip files for uploads. Going forward we will no longer accept .rar files. If you already have a file on the site that is a .rar, we will allow it to stay as such. However, all updates and any new uploads will have to be in the .zip format. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Also a quick reminder about the download database clean up: We’ve been going through the download categories moving long outdated addons out of the live categories and into the Outdated category. If your addon hasn’t been touched in a couple years, it’s been moved. If you are still actively maintaining it, please update it to be compliant with 4.3 and send a PM to any of the site staff to get it moved back to whichever live category you want it in. ]]> News Cairenn http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42403 http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42394&goto=newpost Wed, 18 Jan 2012 18:23:19 GMT http://common.zam.com/i/sopa-pipa-protest-small.pngSOPA and PIPA are two bills being considered by the US government which could have far reaching and powerful negative effects on the Internet as we know it and free speech.

The Diablo III Database has officially joined the ZAM Network! Combining the passionate enthusiasm of the D3DB team with the experience of the ZAM Network & Wowhead team means that D3DB will be your premiere stop for any and all Diablo III questions you might have. They've even got an amazing proprietary Diablo III character planner!

Currently we are in the process of streamlining the D3DB user experience to feel more like using other sites on the ZAM Network, like Wowhead and Torhead, but there are also some big plans to get you, the players, all the cutting edge information you need to get ahead in Diablo III.

So keep an eye on D3DB.com as we get closer to the launch of one of the most highly anticipated games of 2012! ]]> News Cairenn http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42280 http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41914&goto=newpost Tue, 29 Nov 2011 19:01:26 GMT Notes for everyone:

As always, we have our Survival Guide available to make it easier to find out which addons have been updated where. We've turned off the links on it, so we can flag them compliant again as they get updated. If you see any of them that have been updated that we haven't marked as such already, please feel free to email us at survivalguide@wowinterface.com with the link to where it has been updated.

We’ve added a couple new categories and renamed a couple others to better reflect the evolving nature of addons:

• Mounts & Pets – new category for addons dealing with pets and mounts
• UI Media – new category for texture packs, font related addons, icon packs/replacements and sound packs/replacements
• Auction House & Vendors – updated to include vendor related addons
• Character Advancement – formerly called “Quest, Leveling & Reputation” we’ve updated it to also include Achievements and changed the name to better describe it

Dolby has done a redesign for the addon listing pages. Hopefully you will like the new layout as much as we do.

As well, we’ve added opensearch to the site:

• In Firefox, refresh whatever WoWI page you are on, then in the search box hit the little drop down arrow on the icon, add WoWInterface and now you can search it directly.
• In Chrome you just type wowi[tab] and enter your query

In the wake of the Cataclysm, Azeroth's champions rose up to thwart the forces of the maddened black Dragon Aspect, Deathwing. Thus far the world's defenders have shattered the power base of the Twilight's Hammer cult and defeated the raging elemental lords Al'Akir and Ragnaros. Yet despite these victories, as long as Deathwing is free to pursue his twisted goals, Azeroth will remain under threat.

No one is more aware of this fact than the great Dragon Aspects Alexstrasza, Nozdormu, Ysera, and Kalecgos. Together with the wise shaman Thrall, they have devised a plan to vanquish Deathwing with a weapon of his own design: the infamous Dragon Soul.

In patch 4.3, Thrall and the noble Aspects will call upon the Horde and the Alliance to help them retrieve the artifact--no longer in existence--from the distant past. Those brave enough to face the challenge will embark on a perilous journey from Azeroth's apocalyptic End Time to the Dragon Soul's point of origin during the catastrophic War of the Ancients. If the heroes succeed, an even more harrowing battle awaits them in the present....
