Limit drops out of DBM partnership
One of the issues with some of the functionality is that many of the top guilds are building a lot into (custom) WeakAura's since the process to do so is (a lot) quicker. The afterimage didn't get marked until someone requested it on Github, for example. Still prefer BW, they iterate a lot and they listen to community requests on Github (changes that are easy to make are implemented in days).

[help] Can anyone help troubleshoot this ERT timer?
The probable answer is wrong spell ID. Bigwigs GitHub lists 325236 as a spell ID used for glyph if destruction in addition to the number you provided. So change 325361 for 325236. I have bigwigs github bookmarked for this reason

Is there a way to figure out if someone is fooling dbm or bigwigs addon checks?
Theoretically it's possible but you'll have to keep your own addon up to date with BigWigs's messaging. Here's the relevant part you have to catfish BigWigs : https://github.com/BigWigsMods/BigWigs/blob/master/Loader.lua#L713, you will also need to find the specific part used to check that other person have big wigs. I would advise to keep a low profile with this addon because if the creator of big wigs want to make it difficult for you the addon maintenance will become a nightmare.

Nicknaming Addon
I have also created example ElvUI and Plater setups that will work out of the box, and WeakAuras support is on the way! If you want your favorite addon author to support nicknaming, please refer them to the API Documentation. Also, feel free to leave any thoughts in comments below!

[WA] Weak Aura with dynamic glow border color.
You have to edit the region, as explained here. Sadly there isn't an example for doing exactly what you need.

My WeakAuras stopped working with today update.
Don't update your addons today in EU/ASIA, if you installed WeakAuras 5.5 revert to previous version 5.4.4. If you are unsure how to revert to previous version you can either download them directly via https://github.com/WeakAuras/WeakAuras2/releases/download/5.4.4/WeakAuras-5.4.4.zip or https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/weakauras-2/download/4464593 or go into your AddonUpdater of choice and select the 5.4.4 version (be sure to install Release version and not an Alpha)

[HELP] WeakAura: how can I get contents from /dump in custom Lua code?

[HELP] Need help to code a weakaura with clickable arrows for paging
Here is an article about taint and why it is important. Here is the stance on Protected Frames in WeakAuras. I would have coded this to use protected frames, but they are not allowed in auras (the interface throws an error if you try). So, in the aura I coded, the frame is disabled during combat to avoid possible taint. So if you get attacked while on Page2 while farming you might want a keybind to reset it back to Page1 so you can attack.
