About Marking Bar
MarkingBar is an addon to help players use raid markers in parties and raids. It is designed to be simple and easy to use, while offering a wide variety of options without taking up a lot of memory. This addon is based on the once-popular but now-discontinued Hatty's Mark Bar, with features added from many other popular marking addons.
Features:
- Quickly mark and unmark the current target by clicking the symbol you want to assign or remove.
- Perform a party or raid ReadyCheck.
- Perform a Role Poll
- Announce your current marking system to party or raid chat. These messages can be customized through the gear icon or /mb options.
- While in a party or raid, place the raid flare/world markers. Note: This cannot be done in combat, and the flares frame will automatically hide when you enter combat.
- Each frame can be moved anywhere on screen and locked in place.
- Frames can have the icon order reversed or be stacked vertically.
- Frames can have the border and background completely hidden.
- Tooltips can be turned on and off.
- Tooltips can be turned on or off for announcement messages.
- Show the frames all the time, or only while you have a target.
- Show the frames while alone, in a party, or in a raid group.

If you have any suggestions/questions/comments, comment here.
Version 2.1.4/5
- tag for 5.1
- flares bar now the same size as marker bar at 100%
- added auto version check (notify you when someone has a newer version, only when out of combat)
- code optimization
Version 2.1.2/3
- removed clear all markers until a solution is found to have it working 100%
- added Role Poll
- updated for 5.0.4 recommend to run a /mb reset if you notice strange behavior.
Version 2.1.1
- Fixed an issues that was causing the "Clear All Icons" feature to crash when clicked repeatedly. Clicking this icon repeatedly is probably still not a great idea, but will no longer cause any game-crashing world-breaking issues. =)
Version 2.1.0
- Fixed numerous bugs and conflicts.
- Options frame now properly hidden during cinematics and while pressing Alt+Z
- Clicking the options gear icon will take you to the MarkingBar Options. Right-clicking the icon will take you directly to the announce options.
- A button to clear all raid icons has been added.
Version 2.0.4
- Options interface has been updated to include options for the control frame
- Fixed announcements conflicting with other chat addons, like Prat
- Fixed a bunch of bugs where options weren't sticking
Version 2.0.3
- Fixed taint issues hopefully once and for all. Users will no longer see "Interface action blocked because of an Addon" anymore.
- The options interface has been integrated into the default Blizzard UI. You can still access the options from /mb or from the gear icon, but you can now also access the options by pressing Esc to bring up the Game Menu>Interface>Addons>MarkingBar.
- More room to edit announcement text
- New announcement line to add at the end of the marks
- New announcement option to add a raid warning message when announcing in a raid
- New option to add announcement messages to the icon's tooltips. This is especially useful if you can never remember what text you set up and what those pesky icons mean. =)
- Added option to separate the announcement frame from the raid icons frame
- The announcement options are now always visible
- The lock icon for the main Raid Icons has moved from the announcement frame to the raid icons frame
- World Marker flares are now always hidden in combat, since the ability to set them is protected by Blizzard and you can't set them while in combat anyway.
Version 2.0.2
- Corrected errors in the chat announcement not displaying icons correctly for non-English versions of WoW
- Added more show/hide options for solo, party, and raid
- Corrected taint issue that was affecting some people
- Updated version number
Version 2.0.1
- Corrected errors with variables not being saved or remembered correctly.
- Corrected errors with hiding when not in a party or raid. It will now detect a party or raid correctly.
- Updated version number
Version 2.0

MarkingBar now refuses to display when I'm in a raid group. :(

yea same issue, its been here a while, dont ask me when, its not often i need to clear all marks. when i do, i get a new mark over my head, last night it was a star, and i locked up wow. I X'd out after waiting a few, then restarted wow and went on. i've used this addon forever so i dont know when the bug first showed up. thank you for your efforts, i enjoy your addon it makes wow life a little easier.
I loved your addon but almost everytime I try to use it , it crahses my game. Like if I am trying to clear it.
I just found your addon, as a raid leader I need the flag so I was SUPER excited to find a raid target making that included the flags and was moveable to work with my current setup (Blizzards frame is Under my Raid so is totaly useless) However when I try to clear a target icon from a character wow freezes, is there anyway in the code to change the clear all button to just a clear button?
I will review the code and see if in my limited experiance with lua I can find something but if you already have a patch to fix it I would love a post about it.
Thanks
<p>I have no problem marking mobs or players with this add-on, but cannot figure out how to use the flares/world markers. Nothing happens if I click on the little circles for the flares. How do I use them?</p>
