Hi Rarity Dev.

I'm getting a small white dot on my screen. I have used rarity all earlier versions never had problem. I turned off  every addon i had came to conclusion it was from rarity. Be greatly appreciated could help me issue

link the image of version i'm on the latest stable and addon list

Thanks for all your hard work

OK, let's pretend for a second that you didn't just create a new account to ask the same question i've already answered...

If you see a "white dot" and the addon failed to load, there must be an error message. Without this error, I have no information to go on and so there's absolutely nothing I can do. If you don't see any errors, install BugSack and BugGrabber (addons) and enable them:

* https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/bugsack

* https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/bug-grabber

If there's still nothing, enable Lua errors via console commands:

* https://www.wowace.com/projects/rarity/pages/faq/how-to-enable-and-disable-script-errors-lua-errors

You can test that errors are shown by typing this in your console:

/run error("test")

 And if the error is the same as in the previous issues (RESEARCH_ARTIFACT_HISTORY_READY) then your local installation is messed up and you should delete the entire Rarity folder (make a backup just in case) before reinstalling r719, since this can only be explained by having an outdated Core/EventHandlers.lua file on disk - perhaps you set the folder to readonly by accident and some files weren't overwritten when you updated.

If there's no error with r719 or r720, but the issue persists, you can try to change profiles (create a new one maybe) to see if some settings might be wrong. It seems strange that the "Feed text" dropdown is empty  in your screenshot but I don't know if that's really a problem. Also, you can confirm whether the "white dot" is actually the progress bar via the /framestack command - hover over it with this active to see if it's caused by Rarity.

Lastly, I remember that someone on Discord mentioned a similar issue and it turned out the size of their progress bar was just set to 1x1 pixels. That could be another explanation, and in this case you can either modify the settings or change profiles to see if it makes any difference. But check for errors first since that's a lot easier to debug than random visual glitches that could be caused by pretty much anything, even Blizzard's UI.

OK, let's pretend for a second that you didn't just create a new account to ask the same question I've already answered...

 OK not sure why you said this. I'm new here trying to get help not sure what your referring too. I think you owe me an apology.

I'm sorry you had run in with somebody it happens. I love rarity add-on and just trying figure out the issue i'm having, i really love this add-on hate to see awesome thing be damaged by people like that. Hopefully you can get more help on the team this addon is lifesaver 

Thanks for these strategy's i will try and figure these out with all the information you gave me and report back. it will take me awhile i'm currently working on some projects myself. when i identify the problem i will let you know. 

OK i fixed the issue. 1. made sure system was updated, made sure i had latest add-ons checked. When i logged in game

was the profile DEFAULT. I switched it to my toons profile and no white dot anymore.

I have another question is there a way to see the rarity attempts in chat, does it just use popup methed now

You can configure the output channel in the options. If changing profiles resolves the "white dot" then it's likely that you can just resize the progress bar in the old profile to make it visible again.It might also be another setting, or you can just hide the progress bar if you don't need it.
