# 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.
## Installation
1. Download the addon by clicking the link below:
- [Download Difficult Bulletin Board](https://github.com/DeterminedPanda/DifficultBulletinBoard/archive/refs/heads/master.zip)
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, left-click on the config button 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 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.
