: WoW Wank that ISN'T on the Official Forums!
So, as some of my fellow WoW junkies may have discovered, the recent 3.0 patch for the Wrath of the Lich King thoroughly broke the user-created WoW Model Viewer program.
On the forums for the WMV, there is a post by pseudo-admin Zayfox offering steps to help fix the problem by essentially fooling the program into thinking you're actually using a version of WoW that only goes up to patch 2.4.3. The steps are fairly involved, involving quite a bit of copying, pasting, moving, reinstalling, repatching, and messing around in the registry that some people might be uncomfortable with.
For the first couple pages things are fine. People say "yay, this totally worked!" or "hey, I still have a few questions", and life goes on. There are a lot of problems for people who run Vista, but overall things are peaceful and polite. Then faithfeen dares to mention fixed bandwidth problems and to ask for a possible "light alternative" until an actual 3.0-compliant version of the program is out.
ETA: The forums seem to have asploded for the moment. Woe.
