Which addon is stopping me from reading books?

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.

    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

    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! 👍
    RIP Atherton, my beautiful little gentle friend. I will miss you forever. Without you I am a hollow shell.
