The Objectives Frame is in a different location when I log in. I move it to where I want and the next time I log in it has moved to the opposite side of the screen. I tried the reset window position and restarted, but that didn't help.

You may have another addon that is also trying to reposition the objectives frame. To test if that is the case, disable all addons except for CT_Core and then try moving the frame again. If it stays in place when you log out and in, then one of the addons that you disabled is also moving the frame.

I tried with CT as the only addon enabled and the frame still moves after logging out and logging back in.

After you log back in, do you have to go into CT_Core options window and enable the "Enable these options" checkbox again before you can move the frame? In other words, did it forget that you had previously enabled that option?
Try changing any option in CT_Core, log out, log in, and then check to see if it remembered what you changed. If it did not remember it, then it indicates that the game isn't saving the changes that you make.
Not saving options is something that can happen if you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, and the user account running the game doesn't have enough permissions to write data to the folder containing the addon options files. There is a sticky thread in the WoW UI forum that talks about troubleshooting addon issues under Windows Vista and 7: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=6757867106&sid=1
If the game isn't saving your options and you are using Windows Vista or 7, there are two things you can try. The easiest thing to try is to right click your shortcut to the game and select "run as administrator" from the menu. That should give the game enough permissions to save the options. The other thing you can try (and they describe this more in the stickied thread) is to move your World of Warcraft folder to a different location, such as c:\users\public or c:\games, etc.Last updated by dargen

I'm using OSX 10.5
It is saving settings. No matter where I place the objectives frame, when I log in it's in a mirror image of where I placed it before logging out.

So if you were to move the objectives frame to the top left corner of the screen and then log out and in, would the frame then be at the top right, bottom left, or bottom right corner of the screen?
What happens if you don't move the frame after logging in? Does it remain in the same place when you log out and back in, or does it still move to the opposite side of the screen?
Could you please do the following:
1) Create a new macro in the game, copy and paste the following one line command into the new macro's edit box, and then put the macro on an action bar.
/run local n,a,b,c,d,e,i,f f={WatchFrame,CT_WatchFrame} for k,v in ipairs(f) do i=1 a,b,c,d,e=v:GetPoint(i) while a do if b then n=b:GetName() else n=b end print(i, a, n, c, floor(d), floor(e)) i=i+1 a,b,c,d,e=v:GetPoint(i) end end
2) Move the Objectives frame to any corner of the screen.
3) Click on the macro and write down what it shows in the chat window.
4) Log out, log in.
5) Click on the macro and write down what it shows in the chat window.
6) Create a reply to this message and include what was shown in the chat window each time you used the macro.
This is an example of what you should see in the chat window each time you click on the macro (this is what I saw after I moved the frame near the top left corner). The actual values you see may be different than the ones shown in this example:
1 TOPLEFT CT_WatchFrame TOPLEFT 30 0
2 BOTTOMRIGHT CT_WatchFrame BOTTOMRIGHT -11 5
1 TOPLEFT UIParent TOPLEFT 57 -69Last updated by dargen

I'm getting the same problem as amrozi - Windows XP in my case.
Using the script above, this is what I get after logging in:

1 TOPLEFT UIParent TOPRIGHT -325 397
When I log out and log in again, the objectives frame has moved back up, and the macro outputs this:
1 TOPLEFT CT_WatchFrame TOPLEFT 30 0
2 BOTTOMRIGHT CT_WatchFrame BOTTOMRIGHT -11 5
1 TOPLEFT UIParent TOPRIGHT -326 -371
Yes, it's -325 on the third line the first time, and -326 the third time.

Ignore post 6, sorry. Misquoted and mispasted, all in one post!

joffonon,
The third line of your second use of the macro shows the number 397. Was this number negative or positive? If it was positive as you show, then the top of the frame would have been out of sight above the top of the screen. If it was negative, then it would agree with your statement that you had moved the frame down a bit.
I'd like you to try renaming the file that the game saves all the CT_Core options in, and then see if the problem still occurs. Renaming that file will cause CT_Core to behave as though you had never used it before. After the test, the file can be renamed back to its original name to restore all your CT_Core options.
Please try the following:
1) Exit the game.
2) Browse to the following folder: World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\your_account_name\SavedVariables
3) Rename the following file: CT_Core.lua
4) Run the game and log in.
5) Enable the Objectives options in CT_Core.
6) Move the objectives frame.
7) Log out and log in.
8) Did the frame stay where you put it, or did it move back?
9) Exit the game
10) Browse to the following folder: World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\your_account_name\SavedVariables
11) Delete the following file: CT_Core.lua
12) Rename the file you renamed in step 3 back to: CT_Core.luaLast updated by dargen
