Which addon is stopping me from reading books?

Cireous · June 2023

Every time I loot a book, I cannot read it. I am sure it's an addon doing this because when I turn them all off, the problem is fixed.

I know what you're going to say, "So turn them all off and turn each one on, one-by-one, and figure out which one it is."

The problem is, I have too many addons. This would take all night.

I'm just hoping someone else has already figured out which addon is the problem child.

?

Yup, No Thank You has an option to turn them off but it now does so regardless of your setting.

maybe "no, thank you"

Cireous · June 2023

That was it. Nice guess! Thank you.

It's fixable
open up NoThankYou.lua in notepad++ or sublimetext or whatever
go to line 2131 that says "DontReadBooks()"
Change the line so it says "--DontReadBooks()"
Save
Reloadui
ta-da

Thank you very much for this precious tip. Worked like a charm.

Hi there!

Even though the question was answered, we've gone ahead and moved this thread to a category we think is more suitable for this topic, Players helping Players. Just in case others may need this help as well.

Thanks for your understanding.

This is just weird. I added the two -- wednesday, and it worked. But now the books once again won't stay open.
Edit: knowing nothing about making addons I was altering the saved variables lua file instead of the actual addon file. 🤦

Thank you for this - after a reloadui it threw up an error message, but it still just Works. I like to read the quest notes as I get them and the auto closing was annoying.

Thanks! 👍
