 The </ouroloot> (and </loot> by default) command opens this display.  The buttons
 on the right side control operation and are mostly self-explanatory.  Hovering over
 things will usually display some additional text in the gray line at the bottom.

 The first tab on the left side, <Loot>, is where everything goes to and comes
 from.  Looting events and Deadly Boss Mods notifications go to the <Loot> tab; the
 other tabs are all generated from the information in the <Loot> tab.
 Right-clicking in the second column allows you to temporarily remove all other
 players from the loot display.  Use the reset button in the lower-right corner to
 restore the display to normal.  The menu also allows you to +reassign> loot from

 We make four or five attempts on Baron Steamroller.  As DBM registers that combat
 ends, a <wipe> event is entered on the loot display along with the duration of the
 fight.  If the loot display is opened, the wipes will be visible with a light gray
 background.

 Sometimes this goes wrong, when DBM misses its own triggers.  If DBM does not catch
 the start of the boss fight, it can't register the end, so nothing at all is

 The addon tries to be smart about logging on during a raid (due to a disconnect or
 relog).  If you log in, are already in a raid group, and loot has already been
 stored from tracking, it will re-enable itself automatically.
 Full tracking records all loot events that fulfill these criteria:
 1)  The loot quality is equal to or better than what you have selected in the

 3)  <You can see the loot event.>  More precisely, you need to be close enough
 to the recipient of the loot to be able to see "So-And-So receives loot: [Stuff]"
 in your chat window, even if you have those actual loot messages turned off.
 The other option is to ask other players to also install Ouro Loot, and for
 them to turn on the "Rebroadcasting" feature.  Any loot events which they can
 see will be communicated to you.  Then it only becomes necessary for at least
 one person to be close enough to the loot recipient to see the item awarded,

 If you have Full Tracking enabled, then you are also automatically rebroadcasting.
 Having more than one player with Full Tracking turned on is probably a good
 idea, in case one of the trackers experiences a game crash or is suddenly kidnapped
 by robot ninja monkeys.
 You can use </loot bcast> or </loot broadcast> to turn on rebroadcasting without
 opening the GUI.
