Thanks for this addon, it really makes it easy to farm some gold during home office, lol.
Here are some few ideas (if they're not implemented already but also doable with Blizzards API):
1. Let us close the display tab, but make it pop when a dungeon was found
2. Is it possible to see Call to Arms on a twink while leveling? For e.g. im leveling my hunter, but want to be informed if any 60 normal or heroic dungeon needs a tank so I can simply log on my main and get the bag.
3. Make the WoW-Icon in the taskbar blink when theres a call to arms (likewise when you queue up for a dungeon and the group was found, the icon starts blinking or when you get attacked).
This would make, at least my life, a lot easier. :-)
Anyways, thanks for the addon!
The bonus activation chat messages use:
Your class cannot perform the role of %s.
instead of:
%s %s bonus is active!
In reply to dharmos:
What an odd mistake :D It'll be fixed in the next version!
Would you be able to let CTA scan normal dungeons too? I'm in for the bags, I don't care what difficulty it is.
In reply to Waztar:
Woo, looks like you added it in the newest update! +1
In reply to Waztar:
I read your mind! Enjoy the update :)
I'm a resto Druid, but get notified when 'tank' is needed. Is there a way for me to exclude 'tank' from the 'call to arms' scan? If not, can a future version contain this request?
In reply to Rasper1234:
I'll definitely try to get this request into the addon :)
Thank you so much for the update for shadowlands! I installed this morning and am getting this error:

In reply to Johnny_Utah71:
I just uploaded a new version which should fix this issue!
Thank you for making this mod. Is there a way to restrict the roles, e.g. I'm on my druid, and I only want to get healing bonus bag alerts (not tank, which I technically can queue for but don't want to)?
In reply to Forge_User_58812309:
There isn't currently a way to do this, but I'd like to add some more control in the future for the types of queues that you see

Thanks for the awesome mod :) Here's a new bug that popped up in the beta release.
In reply to Petomatick:
The build marked as beta version will only run on Shadowlands beta client, not the retail version
Love the addon, really helps add some spice to my grinding by letting me know that the sweet loot bag is available for 7-10 minutes work, but one slight problem... I'm not sure why, but the newest update makes it say 'Your role cannot perform [Insert task here]" when a queue pops... Nevermind the fact that i've done probably close to 100 dungeons in the past month just thanks to your addon telling me. Oh, and clicking on the quick-queue selects me as DPS, not tank.
In reply to LeucienWeaver:
Thanks for the report, I'll check out why it's spamming that message. It's still queueing the wrong role even with the latest version?
In reply to hydraaddons:
Yes Sir, it's never queued me for the proper role. Oh, and new error as of 6/28, it is now not even showing the option to announce Timewalking, or Heroic Dungeons. They're just... Missing from the on/off list. SS attached. https://imgur.com/a/0RXRnME
Great addon! But there is an issue that Chinese and Korean has non-Latin non-Cyrillic localized names for LFG/LFR entries, which (and other localized text) are not supported by PT Sans font and are shown as question marks.
For example, localized name for “Random Legion Heroic” in zhCN is “随机《军团再临》地下城（英雄）”, and is shown as “???????????????”.
I tried to add necessary characters to PT Sans font. Hope it help!

In reply to Cyano:
Hey there! I'll update today with font compatibility, and allow people to start localizing the addon as well for different languages
thx for making WoW Addons.
