So, the servers are up and your addons are broken?
Don't panic! Just download updates to your mods. Here are direct links to the "latest updates" pages of the big three addon sites:
WoWInterface: http://www.wowinterface.com/the_list.html
Curse-Gaming: http://wow-en.curse-gaming.com/downloads/by-game-version/25/1/sort-by/-date/-downloads/
Ui@WorldofWar: http://ui.worldofwar.net/listuis.php?type=0
WoWAce: http://files.wowace.com
CT Mod: http://ctmod.net

Common mods reporting problems (note that this is not a "Waah! My addons are broken" thread. I'm just posting common mods having issues):
Unitframe mods (AG_UF: Updated at files.wowace)
Buff mods
Bar mods (Autobar, no update, big-time interference with BT3; Bongos, no update; Bartender 3: Updated at files.wowace)
MoveAnything

Bar Paging Issues?
There have been a lot of problems with bar mods trying to automatically page as players change stances. Keep checking for updates to your bar mod of choice.

Looking for the "Ace 2 Standalone"?

Having issues updating/installing your addons?
View the handy install guide at http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/faq.php?faq=install#faq_howto_install

Should I use TOC-autoupdater programs?
No! That totally defeats the purpose of having the check to begin with. There's a "Load Out-of-Date Addons" checkbox. Use it.

Why does Blizzard break addons every patch?
All Blizzard cares about is making sure its own UI works properly. Anything third-party is explicitly unsupported. More info in the Mods FAQ sticky at: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=11381215&sid=1#9

Curious about what this patch did for addons?
There's a general overview at http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=104607129&sid=1 and the technical details are at WoW 2.1 changes - Concise list (v2)

Why isn't there an addon memory limit any more?
It isn't necessary. Some of the behind-the-scenes changes eliminated the need for it. You shouldn't see problems unless there's a memory leak, and even then you can check by seeing what addon's using the most memory by hovering over your latency bar.

What's the new mount macro?
/dismount [noflying]
/stopmacro [mounted]
/use [flyable] Your Flying Mount; Your Land Mount

What do the cats say?

I'll be updating this post with other frequently-asked questions for today. Post away.

Live or die trying.
It seems mages were saving more money than originally intended. Any money saved will now be reduced by 10% and will break frost nova.
Godspeed, T.

Q u o t e:
" go into the folder of an addon, find the .toc file and change the interface number "

Don't do that. It's the same as checking the "Load Out of Date" checkbox in the addon screen but has the disadvantage of you not knowing which addons are out of date if you've updated some and not others.
