you know when you solo a legacy raid and you loot the boss and like 17 windows pop up that show you’ve won loot etc…how the heck do you disable that…i’m using move anything but theres no option for it.
I’ve tried loot window, alerts, static popups…nothing seems to get rid of those annoying ‘loot won’ popups
You would have to use an addon. Im not sure of one of the top of my head but im sure there’s something out there related to loot windows.
Boss Banner Hider or Leatrix Plus has an option like that, that being “Hide alerts”.
Does boss banner still work? It hasn’t been updated since 2015 haha
Surprisingly yes.
And there’s a checkbox I think under Interface->Addons to enable out-of-date addons.
I’ve been trying to find a solution for this aggravating “feature” for years, and still haven’t found one. The Dragonflight pre-patch lets you move your loot window, but that doesn’t stop the individual windows from popping up in the middle of the screen.
This is what I’ve been seeing for years. The Boss Banner Hider addon doesn’t fix it. I was wondering if some addon is causing the boss loot windows to pop up in the middle of the screen. This isn’t the same as moving the loot window using the new Dragonflight UI. I’m beginning to think it’s a Blizz “feature” LOL
I finally found an addon that works! “Loot Won Alert Hider/Mover”. After installing from CurseForge, use the command: /lwh BossBanner
That does the trick. It really makes a difference when soloing legacy raids for mount drops (ie) because you win all the loot and have a dozen toast windows popping up!
I have been looking for something to allow me to move this as well as the experience bar. For some reason today I started having problems with the encounter bar in the Bliz UI hiding under my spell bars and would not allow me to save or move it (even on a new profile).
I found this addon called “MoveIt” that allows you to move the things, but you have to know what they are called. You can use the Toggle Frame Stack button to get a list pop up to help you, but if what you are looking for on the screen isn’t currently present, it doesn’t always show up. This loot popup appears to be called AlertFrame and the Experience bar is called StatusTrackingBarManager. I also got my EncounterBar moved to where I want it and hopefully this will work with anything else that may start acting up.
Is there anything within the past 5 years that’s been developed to move or hide these windows natively?
Edit: why hasn’t this been given to us as a native option in the past 5 years? Like come on.
Please create the option for me to Filter what I would like to pop up in this alert, let me choose where and how big it is, and provide us the option to hide the “You received” alerts entirely if we so wish. We shouldn’t have to go look for an addon to fix an annoyance in the base UI.
Leatrix Plus - Hide boss banner option.
“MoveAnything” addon on curseforge
I moved the Alert frame to the right a bit.
Moved a few other things around to put them where they were supposed to go 
Right clicking the alert makes it go away.
also, nice necro 3 years(5 yr old thread) well done 
Twas the first thing to appear when I googled “How to get rid of the loot popups in wow”. 
I’ll give this MoveAnything addon a try, but I still think I shouldn’t have to be relegating to an outside source addon to fix an annoyance with the base UI. Maybe by the time The Last Titan comes around I won’t have to worry about so many addons.
Thank you.
MoveAnything is one of the addons you didn’t know you needed until you installed it.
Once you have this power you will wonder how you lived without it for so long and like @Meridyth posted “leatrix Plus” is another must have. It’s got tons of usefull stuffs. I love the Square minimap.
Welp, I tried The MoveAnything one, and I am getting nothing but constant LUA errors and it won’t show the frame for me to move it. Well, at least I tried.
if you moved anything using the games default “Edit” mode you need to reset it to default and save it before using moveanything.
They both do the same thing so will cause errors if Edit mode is used to move something from it’s original location or to enable/disable things. Moveanything lets you move anything tho so it’s better than edit mode
moveany will actually put in chat which ones are causing the errors
