If you have any useful ingame macros, feel free to post them here :)

Personally, I really like the two below. They will allow you to monitor the Ironforge LookingForGroup channel for raids you're interested in while you're out solo farming.

To join the Ironforge LFG channel from anywhere:

And to leave again:

Warning: you need to make sure you leave the channel before logging off (you need the macro or a manual /script to do that). If you don't, the next time you log in the game will get confused with the local LFG channel and you will most likely end up with a non functional channel.

Should this happen sometime, you can fix it by exiting the game and opening the relevant chat-cache.txt in notepad or some other plain text editor. The file can be found in WTF\Account\YOURACCOUNT\Charactername in your WoW directory.

Once you have the file open, you should see something like this near the top:


Delete the LookingForGroup line and save the file and you should be back on track. If you're really lazy you can delete the file entirely, but you will lose other settings. Anyway, moral of the story: remember to leave the channel ;)

The regular way of leaving also works: /leave [channel number]

Hmm, I'm pretty sure it didn't work for me at the time. That may be because of some addon though :)
