Take a look in your UIFiles\default folder, is that file in there?

[Thundorr]

yes

I can also log in to any other server but not THF...I have it set to THF server and it will update using the pathcher and when I hit play it loops back to login screen.. but..I can login to any other server on here except THF..
Any help please is appreciated!

Seems like your default ui is corrupt somehow. It may work on other servers because you're using a different UI that does work there, but on THF maybe the config for your characters is set to default which is messed up somehow. I don't think that our patcher does anything with the ui at all. I've uploaded a copy of the default ui here: http://www.thehiddenforest.org/files/default.zip

Make a back up of your current default folder in UIFiles and then overwrite it with that one by unzipping it into the uifiles folder and see if it helps.

I'm okay finally to login with the UF client on the THF server but now all my toons are gone! do I have another login I can use? or did I lose all my previous toons? Please help!!!

First, use RoF2, UF support will eventually go away, second, check your eqhost.txt and see which login server is listed. If it shows the Eqemu one, your chars were likely on the THF login server or vice versa
