It gives no errors.

kudo32 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 01:23:48I figured it out. Grid indicator icon bar is whats making my frames black. guess that mod needs an update.

kudo32 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 01:05:47I get this as well since patch 3.2 but I tried the 2 fixes that are mention here and none of them work for me. I made a new profile and reload my ui and that didn't work it was just the old one and everything was still all black. I tried to remove range check and that did nothing.
I tried to get rid of mana bars and that didn't do anything else either.
I also removed my grid info from the saved variables folder and put in the new grid and the frames still came up black =/.
am I going to have to clear my wtf folder to fix this ?
I can put in the previous version that is on curse and those work for the most part they do have their problems but I can heal with them.

madmkh Sat, 08 Aug 2009 19:40:32Sorry more information for you:
1.302 is the version I am talking about, downloaded via curse. Wow Version 3.2.0 In a party/raid.
Also can not see more than 10, even if in raid of 25. I wondered if that had to do with the "new?" feature (or I just hadn't noticed it before) where numbers in raid are set under raid leaders UI.

madmkh Sat, 08 Aug 2009 19:36:54I too had this error (I have reverted - though not very successfully - to previous version). Beforehand I tried only loading Grid and no other addon, that did nothing, but then it did occur to me that I also use - and had loaded - GridManaBars (as probably most healers would). GridManaBars has not been updated and I do wonder whether perhaps it has something to do with this because of some of the comments below (above, wherever this post ends up appearing.).
I really rely on Grid for healing and this is stressing me out :D so best of luck with fix.

Lodur Sat, 08 Aug 2009 10:58:51Disabling and enabling the addon grid (/grid standby) fixes the problem for that login session regardless of other addons loaded.

2drunk2funk Fri, 07 Aug 2009 15:10:03I had to uncheck the Range checking.
Gives me back HP bars (thank god!) but not having a visual range check is a real headache, specially while constantly dodging clouds P1 of Yoggy
Please fix this and enable range checking again so I can keep my noob raiders alive :)

Anyia3 Fri, 07 Aug 2009 07:18:55Here's a work-around (painful, but seems to work consistently): - Create a second profile (go to the profile section, enter a new name, hit enter) - Choose "Copy from", and your old profile.
For me this reliably makes the unit frames come back up from the abyss and show useful info again, at least until I log out. When I next log in, I have to do the "copy from" trick again. I just switch between the same two profiles.
Also, I only have the "black unit frame" issue on one of my toons (my healer). On my main I had it briefly just after the update, but simply dismounting fixed it for me, and I have not seen it since (despite several logouts/logins). Copying my main's profile to my healer has not fixed it for my healer however (except temporarily as outlined above).

rasapian Thu, 06 Aug 2009 16:38:36Had to delete saved variables to get mine to go away. Changing any of the colors causes the black unitframe to reappear.

Keldara2 Thu, 06 Aug 2009 09:52:37Getting this with r1205 as well. A reload of the UI fixes it (for how long I'm not aware)
Edit: I didn't get this error until Patch 3.2 update.
