Error friendly nameplates about nplates HOT 7 CLOSED

http://www.wowhead.com/news=260801/addons-friendly-nameplates-in-patch-7-2

With Patch 7.2, we’re disabling the ability for addons to modify the appearance of friendly nameplates while inside dungeon and raid instances.

While, for the most part, we’re impressed with -- and encourage -- the creativity that addon authors bring to the game using the addon API, occasionally an addon goes too far in terms of automating or trivializing elements of gameplay that are meant to be highly challenging. Recently, we’ve become aware of a couple addons that were using visual adjustments to friendly nameplates as a method to automatically coordinate complex positioning requirements. This caused what was intended to be a difficult test of a group’s ability to identify positioning requirements on the fly to instead become a simple matter of following a visual marker.

In order to prevent this from continuing, we’ve had to disable the ability for addons to modify how friendly nameplates appear while inside of dungeon and raid instances. Nothing has changed outside of dungeons and raids – addons will still be able to customize the appearance of friendly nameplates everywhere else (most notably in PvP, where they’re most commonly used in ways we don’t consider problematic).

We also don’t anticipate that addon authors will need to update their code to accommodate this change; customizations should simply stop working once a player zones into a raid, and start working again once they’ve left. However, if you’d like to double-check, this change should now be active in the current 7.2 PTR environment.

Just to reiterate since I'm seeing some confusion:
Nothing whatsoever is changed while you are outside of a raid or dungeon
When you zone into a raid or dungeon, only your friendly nameplates (if enabled) will be forced to use the standard Blizzard appearance
Enemy nameplates can still be modified and customized by addons while in a raid or dungeon
Once you zone out of the raid or dungeon, any changes made by an addon will once again apply

I can't seem to find problem. Did you have any other addons that changed the personal resource display?

Thanks for the reply. I guess it does seem like my problem since no one else anywhere has reported this.

I am not sure exactly what you mean by personal resource display but I did have AdvancedInterfaceOptions installed and was messing around with all the nameplate settings...
And I tried with the interface nameplate resource display option check and not...
And I tried on non-pvp server and I tried on alliance character and I tried 32-bit...
And I tried blizzard repair...

But now I have deleted everything and reset user options and even reset /console cvar_default so I do not know what could be affecting it?

/console taintLog 1 shows nothing but /console taintLog 2 shows:

"Friendly nameplates in dungeons/raids were made protected by Blizzard in 7.2,
nPlates apparently has to be updated to not work in dungeons for friendly nameplates"

from nplates.

Thanks for finding that. That was the problem and I think I got it worked out in the new version.
