- About qComments (weekly)
This addon shows user comments from wowhead.com to help questing.
It is a modified version of the original qComment addon (credits to ostap):

- The comments table can now be kept open, with scrolling, moving and font scaling
- The database is build weekly from wowhead.com (hence only English quest name support)
- All data is loaded on demand to decrease memory usage
- Characters at a lower level will use only one database, higher level characters will use two databases
- Level requirements for each quest are shown

HerX saidhm, for some odd reason my quartz refuses to work without qComments :) anyway I love qcomments, saves me a lot of alt+tabbing time and in synergy with quest helper makes the best questing combo :)

Zidomo saidThe qComment (weekly) Database download link above with a Database build date: 02/11/2008 above doesn't have the right file to download. The qData.lua file in the ZIP is dated 11/20/07, which is older & smaller than the last version put up here.
As well, thanks to not putting version/file dates on the ZIP, people downloading into the same folder would overwrite their more recent version of the file, causing them to have an older copy. And unzipping, many people would overlook the fact its an older file and overwrite the last one from January in the \qComment folder. Not good.
So put back up the January one if the database isn't really updated. Also recommend that you put a date in the name of the qComment-DB.zip files in the future.

xska2 saidHi, there is a small bug in your .toc file, it says saved variable is 'nCommentsDB' where it should be 'qCommentsDB'. Because of that settings are not saves, resetting to defaults each session. Would appreciate if u fix it :)

GIDustin said"toggles deletion of notes from minimap on quest completion"
Should also delete notes from the minimap on quest abandoned.
Also, I was showing the mod to a friend, and CTRL+ALT'ed my way over every quest I have, and I now have red X's everywhere. Please also add a "Delete every note created by this mod". :)
Other than that, great idea, and no problems yet. You may want to add a comment to the top of the mod description, something along the lines of "Download both files for the mod to operate. Simply clicking "Download" will not work. I too was stopped by the error you get when you dont have the Database file. Lucky for me, I came back to check on why.

Pax0707 saidAddon doesn't save settings between logings.
Every time I have to reenable setnotes option.
Reinstalled the addon, deleted settings fire.
Same thing

gr11x said@Pax0707:
This is no bug since qComment never saved map notes settings between sessions. If you want to change the default behaviour please have a look at my comment below.
Apart from that I changed the default setting in qComment v2.3.0.2 (see changes).
