"show offline members" is locked and greyed out

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Just have EPGP on.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It shouldn't be locking me out from un-checking "show offline members".

What version of the product are you using? What locale is your client (en,
ru, kr, ch, es, tw)? What other addons do you have installed and what
versions? How many members do you have in your guild? (/guildinfo).
Version 5.5.22 (EN-US) 76 playersin guild.

Paste the text surrounded by -EPGP- in Guild Information here:

If this is about http://www.epgpweb.com integration, what is the realm
and region of your guild?

Please provide any additional information below.
If I disable EPGP, it goes back to normal.  But if I were to raid tonight, and 
have to give out points, I will have to be stuck w/ "show offline members" 
locked on "on".

Yes it will.

Now just an update for this (or rather epgp-6). Expect epgp-6 sometime in 
mid-Jan. I didn't have enough time to work on it before the holidays.

Why is this bug showing as fixed? This issue is still on going within my guild 
and very annoying considering someone provided a possible fix within the ticket 
itself. Please fix this issue and release a minor sub-version change and then 
we can worry about version 6 at a later date.

This is an excellent project, but it has been dragged down with bugs as of late.

Perhaps you should make a financial contribution to the developers to help them 
speed up a 'bug' that is very minor. If you need to sort by who is online, just 
open the roster and select Guild Status and it can be sorted to show who is 
online at the top. Its such a minor bug I don't get what the big deal is.

It's very annoying to switch the view every time, sort the memberlist and then 
back to the other view. -.-

Is it just me or is this still not in fixed in 5.5.25 which seems to be based 
on the epgp6 branch?

Well... Post 58 quite clearly explains why it will never be fixed. ;)

Okay. . .I'm going to try and say this without being a dick. . . . .But I'm 
sure I will fail.

Did it ever occur to anyone that this add-on is completely free and the person 
building this is doing it out of the kindness of their own heart?  Do they hope 
to make some cash Yes I'm sure they do. But I'm also sure they did not sit 
there and say to themselves "Hmm i think i can get rich by giving away free 
software and making people donate."

Be happy they made it, Be happy they update it, and be happy that it does its 
job.  This issue is such a minor issue i don't even notice the change, For 
Christ's sake is 1 click into a drop down menu to change the view and one more 
click to sort by members "last online".  Do i wish it was fixed so all my guild 
members could have the mod installed and not have to deal with this issue? Yes 
but until that point It is an easy work around for me as a raid leader and GM.

So Please Stop with the QQ, and deal with the fact it will get fixed when it 
gets fixed.

Reposting to complain about an issue they know is affecting everyone using the 
system won't get it fixed any faster It just makes the author's have to read 
more shit.

Additionally i am unsure why it is listed as fixed here.  Perhaps it is simply 
because they have fixed it in the coding of Version 6 but since version 6 has 
yet to released that is why non of us has seen the change.

Oh god.  I post this almost 6 months ago.  They will fix this when they fix it. 
Bitching wouldn't get things done.  If you want to get it fixed, maybe go learn 
some coding and help them with it.  Bunch of cry babies. People don't have 
patients anymore; always "now, now, NOW!!!"

This bug reminds me of that 15 year old bug in Windows... the one where if you 
right click on a tray icon when explorer is not focused - you get 2 menus, the 
selected icon's and the default tray menu, both on top of each other. :)

Why does post 58 clearly explain why it will never get fixed? How is anyone 
trying to extort money?

Alkis, the author who makes this addon and the EPGP web app available for free 
has probably got other things to do than fix something that is not really 
broken. Eventually he will get around to it, or maybe he will not either way, 
unless you are paying him money to supply a product you have no right to 
complain about anything. Its free, and it works as intended for handing out 
loot in raids. The stupid bug of not having a pretty guild roster is pathetic 
and does not affect raiding or looting at all, just a minor inconvenience that 
anyone with half a brain can handle.

No, go back and read no. 63 and 64 and stop whinging. People like you moaners 
made Blizzard nerf wow so that we had a whole expansion of lameness.

Its fixed when Alkis has the time to fix it. Simplez. (and I am in now way 
affiliated with Alkis or EPGP, I have just used it for 4+ years in my guild).

1. The answer rings kinda hollow when a decent almost-fix ;) is available in 
comment no. 19... And yes, I did put it my guilds EPGP, but I guess others want 
an official version.
2. www.epgpweb.com - the amount of ads on this site suggests, to me at least, 
that there actually might be some money going around behind the curtain here. 
;) Most likely not a big amount... but still.

Fix it yourself, and start selling it then, with the huge amount of money 
coming in from web page adds (probably 2 cents per month).

Alkis is either too busy, or possibly he is unwell, to update this stupid 
problem at the moment. EPGP is working fine for its intended purposes for those 
people that know how to read.

Consider that there is a person who wrote this addon, and does not get paid to 
read pages of bullshit.

Not replying to this thread anymore, its full of morons and slackers

Again... living in the world of constant monitoring gives us all an 
advantage... that is to say - we can check stuff...

http://hqindex.net/epgpweb.com - it's 90$ a month based on google adsense. 
So... not really 2 cents per month. Site maintenance at GoDaddy is at about 5$ 
per month, so it's still an 85$ gain. Not something you can live by - but hey, 
the site's up since 2009, 2 years * 1000$. 2k side money for an addon written 
after work in I would say a week or two and then occasionally fixed etc... 
Seems nice.

I think the best response would be to just say it "Theralion's Way" - "Alkis is 
far too busy to handle this..." and just leave it at that. ;)

I'm not sure why hasn't anyone mentioned a good reason why this "limitation" is 
annoying, because it isn't exactly a bug but a limitation on an option 
previously given by the game and its developers. This limitation is most 
annoying when you try to find which professions are "online", for example. If 
you try to choose the Professions sub-menu, then you want to see which 
professions in the guild are online, that's when this limitation becomes most 
annoying, because unless you are in a guild with 200 people online at any given 
time, then sometimes you have to go through several profession menus until you 
find one with some people online. Moreover, it is surely useful to see only the 
online professions when you want something crafted now, and you want to know 
which online guild member can craft that item now, rather than get results that 
include the offline members too. 

In one word, when the "Professions" view gets in the picture, this limitation 
becomes frustrating and time-wasting. I surely do hope that the limitation is 
removed as soon as possible while still allowing the addon to do its job. It's 
close to half a year now with this from the dates shown on this thread.

And thanks for the good effort in all cases. Having the addon is surely better 
than not having it at all for those who still have the need for the addon.

Apologies for lack of updates. I understand this bug is VERY annoying. I won't 
be able to fix it unless I find a good chunk of time to get epgp6 out the door 
and then commit to fix bugs with that as they appear. That won't happen for at 
least a couple of months.

So I've fixed the problem. It's actually a decent fix that doesn't break 
anything and it's just been glossed over.  Funny...

Was this fix in the latest version update epgp-5.5.27 dated 5-3-11? If so I am 
still having the same problem.

EPGPLootmaster 0.6.11, has released this patch early.
I really wanted to wait for EPGP v6, but since i fixed it for myself, i might 
as well share it with the world! So download the new EPGPLootmaster and be rid 
of this "Bug".

Mackatack, methinks you should get back on the team for EPGP 6 - you are still 
down as a contributor I believe.

I noticed last night for the first time in like... feels forever that now 
offline members are hiding. Thank you very much for the fix!

Thank you very much for fixing it! It's great to have only online members shown 
again. :D
