DISCORD
I have created a Discord server which people can use to report issues they find with this addon: https://discord.gg/BGKnpza
Help and Support
When reporting bugs, or suggesting new features, I would prefer that you use the Issues Tracker located at http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/easy-portal-advert/tickets, rather than post them here. You log into CurseForge using the same username and password you use for Curse.
No matter how small or insignificant you think your bug/suggestion is, I want to know. If its a problem, I want to fix it. If its a suggestion, I'll seriously consider adding it.
About
At its core, Easy Portal Advert (EPA) allows you to quickly and easily display an advert for your portal services in the Trade channel.
It also has a plugin which enables it to keep track of your portal cooldown times, alerting you - with an optional sound - when they are ready to use again. It will also keep track of the cooldown times on some Mage spells such as Ice Block and Invisibility.
Easy Portal Advert
This is the main function of the addon. It allows you to send a portal advert to the Trade channel, or even to a General channel. You have total control, and can change the prices of your portals or the channel number it sends to (in case you don't use the default /2 for Trade, for example).
Cooldown Monitor
This plugin simply tells you when things come off cooldown; you have the option of playing a sound as well.
