Default New annoying problem

Since this new patch (feb 6) some of my UI windows are out of place when I log on. I move them back to the proper spaces they should be in but when I log out and log back in they're out of place again. It refuses to save the window locations where I want them now. I updated the 2 files that downloaded today and I use a Vert mod (forget which version)

Anyone else getting this or know why it's doing this? I'm pulling the hair out of my head!

Check the properties of your UI_ToonName_##.ini file.. Make sure it's not read only..

For ex.. Mine is UI_Hawkren_91.ini..

I would open my everquest folder look for that file and right click it.. Then click properties.. Where it says attributes: make sure read-only is not checked..

That's all I can think of to cause this..

EDIT: Never know though could be a new bug

Unhappy same Problem

Same Problem here.
When i zone, some Pieces (Buff/Hotbuttons/Guildchat - all aranged on the left side) move towards outside the screen. I zoned 3 Times and lost half of the Windowsurfaces, its ridiculous.
I have no idea. I dont use complicated Mods, just a few simple Things (Vertical Hotbuttons for example).

Nope, isnt read only for the file. This problem just started after today's patch and was fine last night. Seems some other's are having similar problems too. A friend of mine keeps having one of his windows move out of place.

Same problem. Its affecting my spell bar and hotkey bar. How do you get them back once they are migrated all the way off the screen?

Reload the skin a few dozen times... it'll appear on the right side of the screen eventually

I figured something out about these moving windows..For testing I moved my Hotbuttons to the Right side of the screen and postioned it so it was partially off screen then toggled it off and on using the Windows Selector..it was moved back inside the border. the same thing happens when i place it touching or just outside the border to the top and Bottom..But m when I do it on the LEFT side and toggle it off and on it Moves to the left more each time i toggle it until its completely off screen.. the same thing happens to windows on the LEFT edge when I zone..

I haven't had this problem yet (I haven't tried zoning I'm still working on my UI) but I am having a problem when I crash with ui problems and log back in and get a "you have a character still current...." my graphic window on server selection gets cut in half and moved to one side.

Sorry for the run on sentence there.

I (was) using the Quartz 1.5(ish) mod. Whenever I zoned, some of the components would be pushed out of place (towards the middle of the screen). The components this seemed to affect MIGHT have been overlapping the edges of the interface (ex. one box had its bottom edge slightly below the bottom edge of the interface).

Worse, though. My buffwindow, which had been halfway up the left edge of the screen, crawled left after every zone, until it disappeared. Since I've been using a buffwindow with no title bar or other place to grab, I couldn't slide it back before it went away on me (and currently plan to reset the ui.ini file every so often to get it back in place, or just put title bar true on that window even if it's ugly).

Apparently this is happening with even the default ui and Sony is aware of the problem according to the technical board on their site.
