Default One More Time

For those New to the User Interface World, or for those who simply refuse to read the things we post on the site for tips and help..

NEVER COPY YOUR DEFAULT FOLDER!!!
or tell others to do this as the first step to install a mod!!!

SOE Updated the UI in September so that any files not found in the UI Folder would be used from the default folder automatically.
You will see it in HUNDREDS of UI Eror logs, where it doesn't find a file and pulls from default.. this is not technically an error, as it is designed to do that..

BUT
If you DO copy your default folder, and they make a change to a XML or TGA file that is not included in the Mod your using, you WILL CRASH and the author of the Mod will have no idea why, since all his files work fine!!

I am sorry if this seems harsh but I have gotten several emails, PMs, and even two files uploaded where this was either the problem, or written as instructions to do..
