Corpse Run's Item Comparison Walkthrough
Player
Abrad
of the guild
Corpse Run
, known here on Wowhead as
ABrad45
, has written up a guide on his guild site for our
Item Comparison
tool!
We're always very flattered when people share our work with their guilds, and this is a good FAQ for people who are interested in getting the most out of the tool, so we thought we'd take the time to link it here. :)

New Feature: Level 85 Talent Calculator
If you've been looking closely, you may have noticed a new button pop up on our
talent calculator
recently!
We've added a
button which lets you increase the level cap to
85
! Now you can play around with
Cataclysm
builds early!
Remember, we're obviously going to get a pretty major
talent overhaul
before we reach the release of Cataclysm. That having been said, though... it's still fun to play, isn't it? :D

Let Me Wowhead That For You
There was a
thread
that went around a little while ago where someone mentioned a website called
LMGTFY.com
, that internet users can take advantage of to passive-aggressively help their friends find the answers to their questions.
Keeano
asked the following central question:
Can we as a community, instead of flaming others, try better to teach them to use the database, and instruct on how to use filters instead of doing it for them?
This is a critically important part of the Wowhead forum community, and a question I encourage each of you to ask yourself. But somewhere in that thread, a user named
tbeseda
got a funny idea—and a funny domain name.
In turn, I wish to present to you:
Let Me Wowhead That For You.
http://lmwhtfy.com
Enjoy passive-aggressively helping your friends. :)
Tip: Any
search
performed on Wowhead will contain a button that lets you get a LMWHTFY link easily.

Wowhead Interview on the Rawrcast!
TheOnyx
and myself were cordially invited by
Stompalina
to give an interview in this week's episode of the
Rawrcast
!
The Rawrcast itself is pretty epic (a good 2 hours long!), but worth it—especially if you've been following them up until now! You can listen to the whole episode here:
Complete episode:

We're about 40 minutes in. If you have a short attention span, though, you can also listen to just the interview here:

Also, incidentally, there is a mention of an upcoming movie project in this interview called "The Raid". If you're interested in the post we wrote about it, you can find that one

Using the Power of Wowhead: Wish Lists
Hey all! Neutronimity here, your friendly neighborhood German translator! Some of you may remember that I am
also
a blogger, from back in the
WWR
days. Seeing as how I'm STILL a blogger, I figured it was time I earned the title!
I know some people are still a bit unfamiliar with using the database, so I decided to write a series of posts to illustrate a few examples of how you can utilize Wowhead to its fullest potential. I hope to be be covering most of the site's tools and taking advantage of their detailed guides. What you'll be reading is a collection of example tasks, using Wowhead, which should inspire you to come up with a similar methods of fulfilling your goals—whatever they may be.
Curious? Read on after the break!
PS: I would like to thank
blademeld
for feedback and ideas, and
MasterOfDisguise
for generously editing and correcting my rather ragged English.

Loremaster Skosiris!
So a little while back, right around the release of
Ульдуар
, some of you may remember a little tribute that Blizzard implemented to our
founder
and fearless leader: one
Хранитель мудрости Скосирис
in Shattrath City.
You may remember him for his amusingly relevant quote,
"Here I have amassed what may well be the greatest depository of lore in all of Outland. Even the grand libraries of Silvermoon City pale in comparison. Please... look, read, browse to your heart's content. You'll find everything organized and clearly labeled."
Well as we all know, Skosiris
hates
when things are inconsistent...so he embarked on the quest to get a matching title of his very own. We're proud to announce that, thanks to the help of our new
Completion Tracker
, Skosiris has finally completed his
Loremaster title
!
We thought you'd join us in a small celebration. Tacos for everyone, eh?

Wowhead Pride Contest: 1 Day Extension
An apology is in order for those of you who tried to submit your contest entry over the weekend! We had a site bug which prevented the contest page from displaying properly for a few hours during the day.
Since we lost a few hours of accepting entries, we have decided to apply a
one day extension
to the contest! You now have until the end of
Thursday, March 18th
to submit your entries! That's two days from now, so you shutterbugs best get moving!

New Features: Contact Tool and Heirloom Slider
Wowhead has implemented a few tasty new features!
Contact Tool
First, we've created a whole new architecture to let users contact us. You can now use the
Feedback
link found at the top of the page to contact us using the nifty lightbox pictured at the right. We've also upgraded the interface used to report comments, forum posts, screenshots, and
completion
data, so use those report buttons!
It's also worth mentioning that the tool works even while you aren't logged in, so now you guys have no excuse not to use it!
Heirloom Slider
In addition, we've also added a
slider
to all of our
heirloom
item pages — which you can drag to see the stats change as your level does.
Could it be any more convenient?
Go give them a try and let us know what you think!

Some Private Profiles Reset
If you were one of the users who was concerned about profile privacy issues, please go to your user page and double-check your private character status!
We made an internal fix and unfortunately we had to wipe part of the data which determined which profiles were private and which were not.
All good now, but unfortunately you MAY have to
re-flag
your profiles as private. Just use the "User Page" link in the top right to go to your list of characters and profiles, select the checkbox, and click "Make Private".

OS X Client Users: Please Re-Download!
Those of you who use the
Mac version
of the
Wowhead Client
may have been having some trouble uploading your data lately. Well, we've been having a bit of trouble with the framework that the Mac Client uses to handle updating itself. We've updated the Client so that it works properly, but I'm afraid you'll need to download it again.
So, those of you who use the client on Mac OS X need to go to our download page and get another copy! Don't worry—your data will be preserved!

Lunar Festival Guide! (Feb 14 - Mar 7)
You know we couldn't let another holiday go by without one of Miyari's excellent
guides
!
From the looks of it, this world event is going to be much closer to what we saw last year (unlike the
Love Is In the Air
event), so previous experience should apply. We've also pulled out all the stops to make a fully featured table with links to the locations of all the
Elders
, complete with lightboxed maps for each individual location, and overall maps for the whole continents. :)

Come take a look! We'll (of course) be updating it as the event goes on, and feel free to leave feedback here in this thread!

Yeah... We're Dropping Support for IE6
I'm sure this will come as no surprise. What with all the talk about security holes, and the advanced age of the browser (what, nine years now?), major websites are dropping IE6 support left and right—and that's not to mention the specific concern about the security of WoW accounts.
So let us say officially:
We will shortly be dropping support for Internet Explorer 6 (IE6)
.
Now for those of you who are stuck with this geriatric browser for whatever reason, don't despair! This isn't quite as harsh as it sounds—it doesn't mean the page is suddenly going to stop working completely in IE6. It only means that if we make a change or an update that makes the page look funny in IE6...well, we're not going to lose any sleep over it.
No longer worrying about maintaining support for this old browser will enable us to spend more time developing new features, and to make sure we're taking advantage of all the technological advances newer browsers have to offer.

Wowhead Pride Contest (Still) Upcoming—and International
So you may remember us advising you about our upcoming
Wowhead Pride Contest
, originally mentioned in a blog post
here
. Obviously it's taken us a little bit longer than we initially planned to get rolling—we had originally scheduled the contest for January—but things are proceeding apace!
This means you just have a few short days to prepare to send in your pictures! Remember, all you have to do is take a photo of yourself sporting a
Wowhead Rocket
somewhere—and upload it via our contest page!
You're not
required
to submit a photo of yourself wearing one of our awesome
Wowhead T-Shirts
or
Hoodies
—after all, we want everyone to have an equal shot—but it is ONE way, and why WOULDN'T you want one of these?
For those of you who prefer to do it manually, we also have full size printable versions of the logo available here:

Profiler & Completion Tracker Updates
Since the launch of the

Love is in the Air Guide!
Ahh, spring... when a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of the
"Сердцеед" X-45

Ladies and gentlemen, the
Love Is In the Air
event is set to begin this Sunday, February 7, so what better time for us to provide you with one of our own classic,
Miyari
-written guides?

Remember, this event has been set up to change almost
completely
from last year—there's a LOT of new content, and most of it isn't public knowledge yet. We've taken the time to dissect the information we have and try and construct in advance what you may be seeing this year—and as the event goes live, we'll be updating the guide in real time!
