Common Issues/FAQ
Again, check the wiki!. I'll post things here as people find them.
Is there a converter for settings between older versions of Bongos and Bongos3?
There will be no converter for settings from Bongos2 to Bongos3. The two addons are different enough in design that it would not be possible.
I cannot do anything during Teron Gorefiend, the Kara Chess Event, or when mind controlling an enemy!
Make sure you have whatever bar you've marked as being the possess bar as being shown. If no action bar is checked as being the possess bar, it will default to being the pet bar.
Where did the minimap bar go?
Bongos3 does not include a minimap bar. Try Bongos Cornucopia for it and a bunch of other things. The reason I did this was to try and focus the main package more on things related to breaking up the main bar.
Why is there no option for cooldown count?
Bongos does not include cooldown count. Try OmniCC. A long time ago, Bongos did actually include cooldown count. It was removed when I developed OmniCC simply because OmniCC has the ability to work on absolutely anything.
I cannot get my bar to change when I press shift+<number> or mousewheel!
You need to setup manual paging. Please refer to the wiki for more details.

Sezka saidI'm sorry to say I did not like Bongos3. The setup is far more complex than it needs to be the bugs don't help. They are to be expected with a new version but in my opinion Bongos2 is still the better addon. Please keep updating Bongos2.

ekotan saidI'm using WoW 2.4.2 and Bongos3 1.1. If I'm in combat and I hover my mouse pointer over any Bongos3 action bar which I had previously set to autofade (so that it's invisible unless the mouse pointer is over it), I get taint errors as follows:
5/15 03:21:03.616 An action was blocked in combat because of taint from Bongos - <unnamed>:Show()

panthra saidI would like to have right click self cast back. That was a great feature in Bongos2. Other than that. this version took a little getting used to, but after setting it up on all 8 of my toons :( it seems to be working fine. Minus the fact that I really need right click self cast.
keep up the good work Tuller.

nahaz83 saidSadly I still cannot get bongos2 menu to open again, even after clearing my addons folder and reinstalling bongos2 again. The class bar is having problems still, and occasionally the bars are in the wrong position upon loading or reloading the UI. This is very frustrating. I thought I was trying an upgrade, which didn't work... and now I can't even get back what I had.

sriggins saidVery bad bug with adjusting bars. Lets say I have a 14x8 bar and I fill the first 8 columns. If I edit the bar and change the columns from 14 to 8, rather than removing the right 6 columns, it removes them and rearranges all of my buttons so they are totally corrupt.
Worse than this, there is no undo/cancel. Settings corrupted.

BaudSargeras saidBongos2 has a much better setup and configuration options, and is much less buggy than bongos3. The "create your own actionbars" idea is very misleading since it still uses the blizzard action bars to store your spells and abilities, so you are not really creating your own actionbars the way you think you can. I recommend that you go and update bongos2 and keep that working with the newest wow because as far as I'm concerned I will stay with bongos2 as long as it continues to work. Plus it comes with a minimap customization option that bongos3 lacks, and I dont want to have to download a seperate mod just to be able to customize the minimap. Please continue to support bongos2, because I am not going to use bongos3.

nahaz83 saidI can't even get any bars at all w/ bongos 3, even though 2 worked fine. I've done everything - resets, lock, unlock, show unused buttons, changing resolution in case they appear offscreen... there just doesn't seem to be anything there to even respond to the commands - not even empty bars. Downgrading back to bongos 2 seems to have made the options menu and class bar break, though everything else works.
Nothing's erroring out - it is just not there, and I can't seem to make it appear. :-/

ankido saidI'm sorry but I don't like Bongos3. I have a 70 druid and when I shape shift, I had both the bottom and top bars (1&2) change to (10&9) so that I have some more abilities in cat and dire bear. I use a lot of Shift+keys so my top bars are always shift. Unfortunately, you can't do this with bongos3 since it doesn't allow enough actions bars as bongos2. I'm sorry but this mod is not going to cut it. NEED MORE ACTION BARS. =)

Brachuis saidHi,
it is possible to import my settings from Bongos 2 into Bongos 3?
I used a lot of time to set bongos up for every char and do not want to do it again, when changing to Bongos Release 3.
Thx for your support.

Tuller saidNope. Its not possible to represent all action bar setups Bongos2 could do with Bongos3, since Bongos2 allowed you to repeat bars.

Krunkay saidI deleted my XP bar on my 70, and then copied the profile for my alts and cannot figure out how to get it back. I have tried creating more bars and making it the XP bar, but cannot see where to make it an XP bar. I looked at the wiki and did not see this addressed but I will check again. thanks.

butterzz saidA question. I was using bongos3 and all me toons and everything was cool. but when I logged in today on my warrior, my bar1 which I use to switch stances was missing most of its icons and was not switching when switch stances. When I click on the warrior option it says disabled. Where did I go wrong here?
THanks.
