2.3 is scheduled to go live Tuesday, Novemeber 13. Get updates to your mods now, before the addon sites get swamed from the load.
Forum regulars: I asked before 2.2 and didn't get much of a response, maybe I'll get more this time. What mods can you think of now need to get updated so they'll work on 2.3? I haven't been keeping track. Also looking for wording ideas on the autoUnshift and /stopcasting changes. See https://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=1778019289&sid=1&pageNo=8#157

So, the servers are up and your addons are broken?
Don't panic! Just download updates to your mods. Here are direct links to the "latest updates" pages of the big three addon sites:
WoWInterface: http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/latest.php
Curse: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/updated/
WoWUI@incgamers: http://wowui.incgamers.com/
WoWAce: http://www.wowace.com/wiki/WowAceUpdater and http://files.wowace.com

Why shouldn't I use TOC-autoupdater programs? (or: Should I check "Load Out-of-Date"?)
There's a "Load Out-of-Date Addons" checkbox. Use it. Using a TOC autoupdater achieves a similar result but at the cost of not knowing which addons you haven't actually updated. The resident blue agrees. See http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=104567058&pageNo=4#79
Frequent disconnects, red question marks, Unknown characters?
This isn't a UI problem, but it's been asked enough to warrant a mention. Post in Tech Support if you have issues after trying the steps listed at http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?articleId=21017

Missing tooltips on your character sheet?
Update ItemRack.
Your two-hander <-> dual wield macro broken?
Q u o t e:
/equipslot 16 Main-Hand
/equipslot 17 Off-Hand
/equip Two-Hand
Having macro targeting issues?
If you're using a macro like
Q u o t e:and it's not casting on your target, try this:
#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover] Polymorph
Q u o t e:
#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover,exists][] Polymorph
Getting an "Unknown macro option" error?
All macro conditionals like [help], [harm], [target] may only use lower-case. So if you get an error message to the effect of "Unknown macro option: Modifier", simply replace the capital letter with a lower-case one.
Your #show or #showtooltip stop working?
You are only allowed to have a single #show or #showtooltip in your macro. It works like spellcasts does so you can chain options together like this:
Q u o t e:
#showtooltip [pet]Freeze;Summon Water Elemental
Have a raid frame stuck in the center of your screen?
Exit WoW, delete your /path /to /World of Warcraft /WTF /Account /<YourAccount> /<YourRealm> /<YourCharacter> /SavedVariables /Blizzard_RaidUI.lua files.
