yes i have checked settings. i can only assume you didn't read the topic correctly, although i can understand your presumption that i would not have checked setting to a certain extent. but i did mention it had worked previously, and suddenly stopped, this could not be the case if i hasn't gone into settings and made sure it was turned on.
In the case of ground slam, it worked before a particular hot fix which i believe was done to fix some trash bugs regarding the trash just before ozruk, and after this hot fix it stopped working. Ive gone through all my add ons one by one looking for any conflict that might coz this strange issue, but nothing ive tested seems to change it.
In the case of lightning rods on ascendant council, again i have checked it, and repeatedly re-installed dbm , but it has never given me any warning with that, ive had to use big wigs for that. i prefare dbm though, so id rather try to fix it then switch over to big wigs permanently.
