Did you try a reset UI? Repair doesn't necessarily get rid of those folders.

I'd try that and reboot - just to check.

To do a full reset UI, you will want to save your addons in another spot if you wish to preserve them.

Then rename/delete or move your WTF, Cache and Interface folders while WoW is shutdown. Reboot your system.

Note, if you are running Vista make sure your permissions are set so it does not undo your changes.

More detailed instructions for different operating systems, including Macs are here.

i'm ssort of a slow learner so i type idiot, lol. i have no add-ons and i need step by step instructions on how to reset my UI because all the things you said about renaming and deleting does not make sence to me


If you have zero addons, this is simple.

Delete those 3 folders and reboot. They will recreate when you next log in.

and it still keeps hopping me back to the realm page even after i deleted the three files i also saw that many other people on the forums are having the same problem as myself makes me releived that i am not the only one


You may wish to post in tech on this then, it could be a connectivity issue with that particular realm.

One other thing to try is to flush the DNS on your router, i.e., reboot it. If it's a block in the route to a particular location, that can sometimes help.
