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. It scans world chat and organizes messages into an easy-to-read UI, making it more convenient to find what you need.

Features

• Groups Logs: Track and filter all group-related messages in one consolidated view.
• Group Finder: Easily locate groups for the content you want to do.
• Profession Search: Quickly find players offering or seeking crafting services.
• Hardcore Messages: Stay updated with hardcore-related events, such as deaths or level-ups.
• Auto-detect Hardcore Chat: Show only messages aimed at hardcore characters.
• Blacklist Filter: Hide all messages matching your blacklist.
• Expiration Date: Set an expiration date to automatically delete old messages—or turn automatic deletion off entirely.
• Collapsible Topics: Collapse topics to hide unwanted messages and keep your feed tidy.
• Notification System: Be notified if an entry gets added to a specific topic.
• Lockouts Track: Keep track of raids your are saved to.
• Optional Classic Theme: Use the original Blizzard window artwork and controls instead of the default modern theme.

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

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, left-click on the config button to open the options window and select which topics to follow by selecting or unselecting the corresponding checkbox.

To use the original game-style interface, open Config → General, enable Classic Blizzard Theme, then click Save & Reload. The modern theme remains the default.

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 Defaults 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.
