I know waiting can sometimes feel like an eternity - but this petition has actually been open 3 days, 26 minutes as of right now.

I notice you say you disabled your addons, but you do not mention doing a full and proper reset UI. I'd strongly recommend that as a first step - and likely be the first thing tech advises as well. That's where this is, by the way, it's been escalated to our tech queue.

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.

As far as the nameplate issue, there is a workaround for that you might want to use for the moment.

/console bloattest 1 - Might make nameplates larger but it fixes the disappearing ones.
/console spreadnameplates 0 - Makes them overlap like they used to.
/console bloatnameplates 1 - Makes nameplates larger depending on threat percentage.
/console bloatthreat 1 - Makes nameplates resize depending on threat gain/loss. Only active when a mob has multiple units on its threat table.

Your petition is still in queue, if you still need tech support help, please do leave that open so it remains in the queue and can be addressed.
