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.
