    What exactly does changing the "refresh rate" do? is 0.5 the fastest refresh rate, or the slowest? What is being refreshed? Health bars? Raid members?

    Is it possible to COMPLETELY hide a member from the UI when he's out of my range? Healing 25 man/ AV's are a lot harder with the HUGE ui with a lot of players scattered on it, even using opaccity it is still hard to locate a member (mainly on AV PUGS) since u do not know mostly any1 inside

    Would be a huge implement

    Healbot did this before BC.. Changes in BC killed this type of functionality.
    For example, remember the old decursive?

    For a long time (also latest version and many releases before) I have one major issue with healbot. In 25 men raids my own healtbar in healbot isn't repsonsive anymore. All other 24 healthbars are working as they should but my own button just tells me I'm not missing buffs and my health isn't updated either. For example I have full health but healbot still reports me for -4398 or something. Clicking to cast heals does work, although HoT icons aren't show too. Again this is only for my own char, all 24 others works perfectly. A complete UI reload sometimes helps, but not allways.

    Also since the last version I sometimes have a button flickering. Looks like people from 1 group are displayed on the same position in healbot. I see for example 1 healbot button changing names between 3 players. This can be solved by doing a healbot reset from the options menu though.

    This addon is da bomb!

    Just one issue. On Najentus I use Prayer of Healing to get my group up quick after shield is bursted. For some reason the healing done by this spell keeps adding to the health of the character even if they are fully topped off. Some ppl will end up with 20000 health after a couple of PoH's, according to Healbot. Then when they take dmg again they will loose health from that new, higher value, which is dangerous because I don't see if someone has taken any damage. Not sure if that made sense or not?

    bIt doesn't matter if I cast with the spell using Healbot or casting using a normal key, same effect. It may have started when libhealcomm was added, but on the other hand we started raiding BT about that same time.

    Using 2.4.3.9, enUK.

    A guildie tells me there's a problem differentiating players from their pets if they share the same name?

    has this been fixed or can it be?

    Thanks for maintaining Healbot, David. I don't know what I'd do without it.

    Hallo, ist das ein Bug, dass sich das komplette HealBot verstellt in form von den Gruppen Frams wenn jemand die Schlachtgruppe Joint oder Verlässt wärend eines Kampfes? Genauso werden die Gruppen in Kampf nicht aktuallisiert wenn geschoben wurde. Das ist ziemlich vertal für den Raid Content den ich spiele (Sunwell Endgame). Ist dies ein Bug oder können sie mir sagen wie ich das umstellen könnte? Das die Frams auch in Kampf aktuallisiert werden und auch bei beitretten und verlassen der schlachtgruppe die frams sich aktuallisieren und nicht so verstellen, das ich nicht mehr Heilen kann. Bitte Antworten auf E-Mail: sebastian_kruse@gmx.de oder ICQ: 266-595-288, vielen Dank schonmal im vorraus, sollte das ein Bug sein (es ist shcon seit der ersten Version) bitte ich um ein fix. :)

    I'm having the same problem that it seems others are having. I've deleted the healbot.lua etc. several times from all characters and all realms. When I do that, i'm able to use healbot only with the default spells. when i change the default spells they don't take even though they are spelled correctly etc. When i hit reloadhb and/or reloadui, it makes any changes i've made no good and in fact only right clicking then works - but again only with the default spell.
