****Important Notice****
Blizzard has announced an LFG tool due to this Bulletin Board will be discontinued. Thank you all for the support
Known Issues:
BM aka Black Morass showing up under Ramparts
Go to settings -> search patterns -> make sure that only 1 language is checked
LFG Bar is gone
In the settings you have to find something called "Display LFG Bar" you have to checkmark it then reload UI.
Dungeons showing up in the wrong place ie Black Morass
Go to settings -> search patterns -> make sure that only 1 language is checked
Custom Search Pattern issues
There is a bit of confusion on how it works which leads people to believe there is a bug. It basically works like this:
1. Languages + custom selected: this will result in using all of the languages default values AND anything that has been entered manually
2. Only custom selected: it will override with the values have been entered. If fields were left blank then the value is blank
3. Only 1 language selected: it will use the languages default values and ignore anything that has been entered
New Feature:
New feature introduces that helps organize lfg chat spam.
/gbb chat organize/clean
It will create a new chat tab that has all the spammy lfg channels, it also removes those channels from your default chat tab and it will enable chat notification. This makes all the lfg spam be in a single chat tab that you yourself never have to open. The add-on will do the filtering and notify you on the default chat tab once a match has been found. Or you can just open the add on and see the organized requests.
GBB provides an overview of the endless requests in the chat channels. It detects all requests to the classic dungeons, sorts them and presents them clearly way. Numerous filtering options reduce the gigantic number to exactly the dungeons that interest you. And if that's not enough, GBB will let you know about any new request via a sound or chat notification.
Currently, English, German, French and Russian dungeons are recognized natively. But it is easily possible to adapt GBB to any language.
Usage
GBB searches the chat messages for dungeon requests in the background. To whisper a person, simply click on the entry with the left mouse button. For a "/who" a shift + left click is enough. The dungeon list can be filtered in the settings. You can also fold this by left-clicking on the dungeon name.
Old entries are filtered out after 150 seconds.
Slash Commands
<value> can be true, 1, enable, false, 0, disable. If <value> is omitted, the current status switches.
/gbb notify chat <value> - On new request make a chat notification
/gbb notify sound <value> - On new request make a sound notification
/gbb debug <value> - Show debug information
/gbb reset - Reset main window position
/gbb config/setup/options - Open configuration
/gbb about - open about
/gbb help - Print help
/gbb - open main window
/gbb chat organize/clean - Creates a new chat tab if one doesn't already exist, named "LFG" with all channels subscribed. Removes LFG heavy spam channels from default chat tab
NOTE: If file doesn't download just go to the "File" tab and download from there
This is just an update adding TBC support to an abandoned add-on.
With the addition of support for TBC, probably introduced a ton of bugs.
Please provide feedback on having separate panels for classic and tbc dungeons. With the addition of support for TBC, probably introduced a ton of bugs so comment on that too (50/50 on falling on deaf ears)

In reply to Vysci:
I appreciate the work you've done on this addon. I hope you continue to work on it if the Blizzard tool ends up being really bad (which seems likely).
In reply to Vysci:
Please don't stop developing this. The Bliz tool that's coming out is terrible. Your addon allows for much better display of the information if nothing else.
The addon is currently bugged, it puts together groups for black morass and ramparts, if you say BM, it lists the group under ramparts as well.
and if you say the word 'black' it lists as black temple, should not do that when the whole sentence says 'black morass'
In reply to walayimuna:
Take a look at known issues. It's not a bug just disable other languages under "Search Patterns"
In reply to Vysci:
Is this the same for Shattered Halls and Sethekk Halls?
Currently, when I have the filter applied for "Hellfire Citadel: Shattered Halls" I'm seeing Sethekk Halls requests being listed.
Hey! Thanks for this great addon!
A small question: is there a way to adjust the ouput chat window of the login message when somebody comes online with the extra information?
Maybe in de lua files themself?
I think a great idea, especially if heroic filter is checked.. either put a red text LOCKED next to any instances that show up in your window that you are currently locked to... or maybe even have them automatically not show up?
Is it possible to do so that when you press the Esc the window does not close? It's really annoying when you do something and looking for grp it's always closing and you need reopen the window every 2-3 min.
In reply to jitadwarf:
there is an option that says "ESC cloce main window (restart needed", assume you can just uncheck that.
Is there anyway that you can make it so that you can track certain dungeons and roles so that you get like a notification when someone is looking for lets say "LFM TANK DPS ARCA HC". so that if you have checked that dungeon and role you get a notification instead of having to sit in the addon and watch it all the time. Overall i love this addon, so dont take it an other way :)
In reply to isaakssoon1:
Kind of. The issue is yes I can do filtering by role but it will end up filtering requests that shouldn’t be filtered
Example: ”LFM SP”, there is no role associated with this request so if you filter by role this won’t show up although it applies.
You are going to say well just include LFM to every role but then let’s say we filter only by dps, the request “LFM SP need tank” would be included, which is incorrect
In reply to Vysci:
Can you explain to me how I can do filter by role with custom filters? I dont care if some wont show up I just want every query that has the words "Heal Heals Healz Healer" in it to show up and be sorted.
Just putting that list of words in the "Search words" field with nothing else and only having custom search patterns on while filling out the rest of the sorting ones correctly does not work as I thought it should/would.
If the blizzard search tool does not allow this I will still be using this addon trying to find a solution to my problem
In reply to Lipovske:
You cannot currently. At this current time I am not sure if I will implement this feature, we shall see what happens with blizzard lfg tool
Hello!
Have no idea where is my icon button under minamap after last update. All was fine before
Miinimize button distance or reinstall addon dosent help.
I see from comments not only me have the same problem :с
ps. thanks for your work
Is there a way to change the font size? That would be a addition if not.
I can't find any reason why it would do this in the tags but I'm sure there's plenty going on behind the scenes that I have no idea about. Anyway, not a big deal but under the Shattered Halls category, Sethekk Halls is consistently popping up, even without any other tags involved like SH and whatnot, and I can't find anything in the tags with "Halls" as a standalone term that would get it to do be popping up under Shattered Halls.
Feature Suggestion:
Would it be possible to have the addon set and send a custom default message to a target using a particular button combination?
For example, I set a custom message in the addon such as "Room for a 70 mage?" and have it sent to the selected target using Ctrl-right click or something similar?
Suggestion:
I have my alt in stage where mostly i am interested in heroic only option, but i still do want to run some lvl 70 dungeons for revered rep. If i disabled heroics only i get spammed by garbage like SP, UB normal... If i enable it I miss SV, SHH or any lvl 70 dung on normal , which i still need for rep.
Possible implementations from best to worst:
- create checkbox for each lvl 70 only dung "run still on normal" , which would override heroic only
- option to enable heroic only for each faction separately
- create 3rd global option " heroic only , but endgame dungs still on normal"
In reply to Grobyian:
The checkbox to each dungeon option is a hideous solution unfortunately.
If you select filter by level range, it will do exactly what your third options suggests
