About FastQuest Classic
Summary
FastQuest Classic is an addon to enhance quest log displaying, quest tracking, and notification. This is an alternative to heavy duty add-ons like MonkeyQuest, Quest-I-On, etc. The difference is that the code is much smaller and faster, since it uses Blizzard's build-in components enhancing and improving them. But it does not have full set of features those addons offer, so try them and decide what is best for you!
History of FastQuest Classic
FastQuest Classic is originally called "FastQuest" and is written by Vashen. Vashen had left WoW after he released the great FastQuest 2.11. Since then, FastQuest has some minor udpated by some fans including the WoWBox* author - Alfred. While I am trying to contact Vashen and also Alfred to seek for some other minor update for FastQuest, I did not get any response from them at that time. Then I decided to pick it up and try to fixed some minor issues, I then register an continued addon on Curse. Since that, FastQuest is released with version number like 2.11.1, 2.11.2, 2.11.3, etc.
When the TBC was going to be released in US and Europe, Vashen was back and he decided to continue the implementation. Vashen started the new FastQuest with version number 3.x and was supported with Titan and Fubar. I saw Vashen's messages and actions, I was thinking it's about the time to turn back this great addon to Vashen and also the credits.
However, there are some players still love the classic and standalone FastQuest, including me. So I decide to rename the addon name to "FastQuest Classic" and started from version 2.11.207.
Installation
Unpack the ZIP file to WoW\Interface\AddOns\
For example, if your WoW is installed under
"C:\Program Files\Blizzard\World of WarCraft"
you should see below structure once you have correctly unzip the addon:

Features
- Easy quest tracking: You can use Right-Click or Shift+Left Click on quest name in QuestLog window to Add/Remove quest to/from WatchFrame manually. Many players feel it's easier with single right click to add or remove quests. (/fq clear will remove all quest from the tracker)
- Quest Info to chat frame: You can easily share your quest details to chat frame.
- Use Ctrl+RightClick on the quest to send not only quest title but also quest objective to chat frame, it makes things easier when you are going to tell people what quest you are investigating without typing quest detail by your self.
- Quest progress notification: Automatically notify your party/guild/raid/near-by people of your quest progress (example: Thistle Boar Slain 5/7), this option is off by default and can be toggled by /fq autonotify
- Level up notification: Notify your party/guild/raid or near-by people for your level-up or new area/zone discovered is configurable. Sometimes you may want to enable this feature so that your partners may now your recent status when you all are looking for some place together or s/he is farming together with you for your leveling-up.
- Quest turn-in: Automatically complete turn-in quests such as the once in AV that you have to turn in one by one. When you right click on the NPC to turn in quest, FQ will click "Continue" and "Complete Quest" buttons for you, but will stop to let you pick reward if choice is given. The down side is that you will not be able to read what NPC's replies to you when you turn in your quest, but that's only to those who actually read it :) This feature is off by default and can be toggled by /fq autocomplete
- Configuration: Configurable options are now supported with slash command "/fq options", or simply click on the minimap icon or Quest Log's "FQ" button.
- Notification Sound: The addon will play a sound to notify you one of your quest is completed (all target objectives have been achieved). The sound now is customizable. Simply find the sound in "Sounds\QuestComplete.mp3" and replace it.
Disabled Features
Below features have been temporary disabled due to WoW recently has modified the mechanism to display the quest details in QuestLog window and WatchFrame.
- Quests in WatchFrame are displayed in color that is based on difficulty. There are now over 20 shades of colors from bright green to bright red that are used to denote quest and monster difficulty. Quest that would be come trivial next level is highlighted giving you chance to complete it while it still yields exp. (Currently disable)
- Allows WatchFrame to be draged anywhere on the screen (use "/fq unlock" to enable draging and you can "/fq lock" to lock it in place). (Currently disable)

I had the same problem only on the chars using fastquest and disable made the screen go back up on the original position and gave all the tracks again.
After the update it was ok, but now after the last blizz patch Fastquest isnt usable anymore because of the same issue - the objectives screen goes down to the bottom right corner and contains only 2 items.
Pls can you repair this again?
Exept this - its a GREAT addon!

Sorry that it's still a bit buggy. And the WatchFrame / Quest Log enhancement are not yet back.
But at least the quest notification and auto-complete are quite useful.
* Added option to toggle the quest completion notification sound
* Added multiple quest completion notification sound selection
* Translation update:
* Korean (talkswind)
* French (nutsguy)
However, I'm experiencing a small error concerning the Quest Display Format.
It resets on relog, and when changing the slider bar to another setting no visual change can be seen at all.
No lua errors occur during this time, though.
In the old WoW when questlink in chat-frame is not yet supported, it is useful to display question brief or detailed info in chat-frame via FQ. And the Display Format is designed for that. So we can configure the format to tell our friends the quest we are doing right now is with which leve, is a raid quest or dungeon one, etc.
Changing the quest format will also change the format display in the Watch Frame in the old time.
But for now since BZ has change the functionality of Watch Frame and Quest Log quite a lot, I can find enough time to implement FQ to enhance it. So right now these enhancement is broken. Sorry about that.

I'll add information as I find it.
It's interesting, so you mean while doing quest "Identify Plant Parts" with the item "Unidentified Plant Parts" pick-up, the error always pop-up. But other quest is fine, right?
How to reproduce...
Whilst running SexyMap, open the options and click the 'Show Movers' box, drag the 'Objective Tracker Mover' to somewhere where you'll know where you left it (I put mine hard up against the left side of the screen for this test), untick the 'Show Movers' tickbox to hide the frames and return to the game.
Now put your mouse over the area where you left the 'Objective Tracker Mover', hold the left or right mouse button down and move the mouse, normally this would rotate the screen, but it no longer does. In this area you are unable to click anything at all, unable to click links in chat, unable to loot, unable to use spells on your bars, all this if the 'Objective Tracker Mover' is over where you are trying to click etc. Turn FQ off, and it no longer does this.
Having a bit more of a play with this, I can further report that it seems that you are able to move the 'Objective Tracker Mover' even when the 'Show Movers' box is unticked and the frame is not being shown, obviously this isn't supposed to happen, and like before, works correctly if you turn FQ off.
Not sure if it's related, or anything to do with FQ, but occasionally that 'Objective Tracker Mover' will blow up to a massive size and take up most of the screen. Obviously I can only tell this when all of a sudden I can't click on anything or move the viewpoint from anywhere on the screen, Open the SexpMap options and you can see that the 'Objective Tracker Mover' is now taking up most of the screen. No idea what triggers it, it seems quite random, and it goes back to the normal size shortly afterwards, but there is no way to sort it prematurley if you need to. I cannot prove this has anything to do with FQ as I cannot reproduce it, but it has completely stopped since I turned FQ off.
Sorry to say I'm going to have to stop using FQ until this can be fixed, i'm sure its just a wee problem that is easily fixed, it's just trying to locate it :)
I'm sure you can understand why I will have to stop using it for a bit, and that my info will help you to nail the issue soon :)
I have always used FQ and always intend to, so expect me to be watching for an update :)
