TidyPlates-No Overlapping?
I recently started playing again after a five month break. Got my UI back to where it was EXCEPT Tidyplates does not have the option "Allow overlapping" anymore. I do not tab target. It seems slower to me, rather than just seeing the mob that you are losing; clicking its plate and GG. This is hard to do when they are all stacked on each other. Am I just missing it in the tidyplates config?

It's in the Blizzard Interface options now. I believe its under Names.

Re: TidyPlates-No Overlapping?
Oh my soul! Hopefully this is the answer I've needed! I've been having soooo many targeting issues lately. Like can't even click on blisterings fast enough or elementium bolt...
I NEVER had problems with targeting things, and I've always hated tab targeting because it isn't as reliable. Hopefully this will fix it.

Re: TidyPlates-No Overlapping?
One thing that I found that makes picking up targets REALLY easy (for me at least), is to use the size setting in TidyPlates...
Basically, when I'm tanking I don't care how much health the mob has, because it's not my job to kill it, it's my job to hold aggro. I set the mod so that when I have threat the plates are green in color and as small as physically possible (they will almost disappear because they are so small). I set them to turn yellow and scale up to normal size when someone reaches 100% of my current threat, and then they are 2x their normal size and turn red when someone passes 110% threat.
This makes is SUPER easy to target that one stray mob getting lose, because it's the only name plate that is even really discernable. I don't really like when there is a large group of mobs, having my ENTIRE screen covered by plates, so I just let them stack, and set up the addon as described above.
If that works for you, great. If not, I'm glad that you found what you were looking for.
