PSA about configs
I had a video driver cause a bluescreen on my gamer this week, during a mboxing WoW session, and upon reloading the game, found that all of my configs for WoW were all corrupted, WoW defaulted all configuration, and addon configuration, back to defaults. Which meant my UI and everything had to be resetup.
Luckily, I had just the previous week, copy my WoW directory to a new drive, but this isn't something we normally do, I'll backup things every few months, but not routinely.
Lesson learned for me, I have a batch script now to backup my WTF and ISBoxer config files daily, and copy them to another computer (could be another drive too).
I'd hate to start over with a fresh ISboxer setup at this point, same for my UI configs, would be hours wasted trying to get back to my current setup.
So just a heads up to everyone, backup your configs
