Difficult Bulletin Board - Addon for Turtle WoW

Difficult Bulletin Board is a World of Warcraft 1.12 addon inspired by the LFG Group Bulletin Board that reads the world chat and presents it as an ordered list in an easy-to-read UI. This addon aims to make it easier to find groups for the content you want to do.

Installation

1. Download the addon by clicking the link below:

   • Download Difficult Bulletin Board

2. Unzip the DifficultBulletinBoard-master.zip archive.

3. Rename the directory inside the zip from DifficultBulletinBoard-master to DifficultBulletinBoard.

4. Move the DifficultBulletinBoard folder to your World of Warcraft AddOns directory:

   • Example path: C:\World of Warcraft Turtle\Interface\AddOns

5. If you have WoW open, make sure to restart the game for the addon to load properly.

6. To verify the installation, type /dbb in the game chat. If the installation was successful, the addon will open.

Usage

Accessing the Bulletin Board

You can open the bulletin board interface by left-clicking on the DifficultBulletinBoard Minimap icon or by typing /dbb into your chat window. The interface will show an ordered list of messages from the world chat.

Editing and Managing Entries

To manage topics, right-click the minimap icon to open the options window and select which topics to follow by selecting or unselecting the corresponding checkbox.

Troubleshooting

No Messages Show Up?

If no messages appear on your bulletin board and no errors are displayed, make sure you are in the world chat by typing /join world in-game.

Tags List Issues?

If your tags list seems incorrect or disorganized, try pressing the Reset button in the options window.
It’s also a good idea to reset the tags after updating the addon, as I may improve or adjust the tags list in future updates.

To-Do List:

• Ensure that when a person already in the list sends a new message, their old entry is removed and they are moved to the top of the list.
• Add a reset button to the options frame.
• Expand options (e.g., placeholder number adjustments, etc.).
• Implement left-click whisper, shift-left-click /who, and right-click /invite functionality for buttons
• Allow users to select which channels they want to observe.
• Implement more customization options (e.g., classic WoW border styles, etc.).
• Consider removing placeholders entirely and implement a dynamic list that grows as needed.
