PitBull Unit Frames 3.0
Please note that PitBull3 is no longer being actively developed. On top of lack of active development itself, it's based on the Rock framework which itself is no longer maintained either.
I strongly recommend that users migrate to PitBull4. You can not convert your config from PitBull3 and must reconfigure.
PitBull4 itself can be found at:
http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/pitbull4.aspx
You can find guides for setting it up at:
http://www.wowace.com/addons/pitbull4/pages/guide/
And the FAQ here:
http://www.wowace.com/addons/pitbull4/pages/faq/
While PitBull4 is still in beta it is fully functional and has more features than PitBull3. It is actively developed on and bug fixes made regularly.
I do not plan on making any fixes to PitBull3 once Cataclysm releases. So you have plenty of time to make the migration.

When I delete my cache file fixes it temporarly and then starts again after a while of playing.
Please advise.
Show always (as in whenever you're in the zone)
Show when near (when you're close to one of the PvP objectives)
Do not show (disables the icons)
I recommend you do not show them, unless you frequently participate in what they're showing.
Don't why it took to just now to think of that, but better late then never I guess!! ;(
If that's the case is there any way in the WoW settings to move those icons to a better location??
I'd use Pitbull 4, but the player window (the one showing health for yourself etc) is, by default, put exactly in the middle of the screen, exactly where I don't want it as it obscures too much of what is going on. So far I haven't been able to find any way of moving it to the screen location I prefer. How in heck do you move that window?
Because of the above I'm still using Pitbull 3, which leads to another problem. Everything was great until I went to Silitha, and then shortly thereafter to Hellfire. In each of those two zones new on-screen Pitbull icons appeared, as an example in Hellfire two icons that look like chess rooks appeared right on top of my player window. Which is not good because the newly appeared icons and accompanying text sit right on top of the player window text, garbling slider boxes and text as a result. At the moment I can move the player window so that its text and slider boxes are not obscured, but that's not a preferred solution because that means the player window is no longer where my eyeballs find it naturally, plus it requires re-arranging screen hud items from other addons to locations where I don't want them. Once again the problem is that I can not find a way to move these new icons that appear depending on the zone your in. Is there a way to unlock them so they can be moved?
Hopefully some one has an answer to both questions, preferably to my Pitbull 4 question (Pitbull4 probably also needs an answer to my Pitbull 3 question). I'd prefer to be using Pitbull 4, but right now I'd just settle for an answer to my Pitbull 3 question.
Plus on WOWace.com it still says:
"Differences from PitBull 3:
* It's not done "
I've been waiting for ckknight to say Pitbull 4 is done before I use a Beta addon.
Well last night I noticed on my Shammy that Curses don't show up in the frame when Debuff filtering is on. I guess Curses were never added to Shammies for Debuff filtering for Resto once Cleanse Spirit was added? Anyone have a trick I can use to show Curses without turning OFF Debuff filtering whcih shows too much stuff on the frame?
I have the Problem, that i canĀ“t show the Charwindow from Players with Rightklick on Player Targetframe. The Option "To View" already there, but nothing happend when i klick on it.
The first time I tried pitbull several months ago, I had this kind of problem, so I went back to xperl, which has its own problems, and that is why I am trying something new again.
My other addons are icehud, omnicc, and MSBT. So far, I have only tried removing icehud, and i still have the issue.
