I've seen a couple people post that they have no icons or borders. I have the same problem. I tried to fix (renaming the cache folder etc) and THIS DOES NOT WORK.

In fact, it made it worse, when I logged in the entire landscape was yellow with no graphics etc. NPC and player models loaded.

Here are screenshots of this problem (before the supposed fix that doesn't work):

Edit: Reports of using the following command then restarting the game seem to be working to resolve some of these issues.

Try typing:
/console fixedfunction 1 then restart WoW.

If that does not work for you, try resetting your User Interface completely.

1) *IMPORTANT* Exit the World of Warcraft to your desktop by logging out of the game and exiting. If World of Warcraft isn't closed, then these steps won't have the desired effect.
2) If you used an "installer" for a custom UI, see if it has an "uninstaller" and use it.
3) Inside the World of Warcraft Program Folder, delete the "WTF," "Cache," and "Interface" folders.
4) Restart your computer.
5) Please do not reinstall Addons prior to testing the issue you were experiencing.
6) Make sure that you are using WOW.EXE or LAUNCHER.EXE to start the game. Please do not run any UI installers beforehand, as we want to eliminate them as part of the issue.
7) Upon launching the game, you should see the Intro cinematic movie and be prompted to agree to the Terms of Use. Once you authenticate past the login screen, the “AddOns” button should no longer be visible at the lower left corner of the character selection screen. Both points mentioned previously must hold true if you should complete the aforementioned steps correctly.

If that does not resolve your issue, Quiz, you would be better served by posting in the Technical Support Forum. They may be able to recommend additional troubleshooting steps.

It sounds like an issue on your side, Troggen.

Did anything change recently? Did you recently upgrade to a Battle.net account? B.net goes through different ports so many people need to make those adjustments.

You may want to check the Technical Support page for further troubleshooting steps.

B.net troubleshooting steps can be found here: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=16137364195&sid=1

Otherwise, make a post here:

Hopefully some troubleshooting steps can be provided to help resolve whatever issue you may be having, Troggen.
