Now Bison use the same method like other addons by hijacking the Blizzard buff and debuff elements. So the cancel buff works well on these version.
I loved the addon SurgeTrack, but its dead. So I start my own surge bar :). I can not play all classes, so I inserted a limited count of temporary buffs. Blizzard show some of these as auras around the avatar. You can enable the spell id's on the buff bar, to find the id's of missing buffs (I need your help).
knowing addons with modules hiding buff frames
You should deactive the option for hiding Blizzard Buff/Debuff frames.
- Pitbull4 - Module "Hide Blizzard frames" (option 'Buff/Debuff')
- X-Perl - Module "Player Buffs" (folder 'Player' subframe 'Player Buffs' on top right)
- ShadowedUnitFrames - Module "Hide Blizzard" (option "hide buff frames", at last "/console reloadui")

If so, is there any way to use Bison for Debuffs, but leave the display of Buff icons to the Blizz UI?
Any reason i cant right click remove buffs anymore? Great addon :)

I'd love to have the timers below the buttons again instead of inside of them.
Also I get this error:
it could be great an option where u can put the debuff, buff and weapon time out of the icon like the old buffalo addon :) Or there is another way to do this?
p.s. Nice work for now man i like you addon :)
In order to fix it you can download & install whole Ace3 framework from here: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/ace3.aspx
WTB a Bison that works now.
@Ronice: Disable "Consolidate Buffs" in the Blizz Buffs and Debuffs interface
We cant click through the frame when they are no buffs or debuffs.
And button face's skin reset every time when deco/reco.
