How dose databroker work?

[Jynks]

I am confused about DATABROKER.. i recently downloaded a mod called CritHit... and i can not seam to get it to work... though i know it is working as the crits are spammed in my chat window and if i turn on teh screenshot option that is also working...

So i di a few other tests of "broker" addons form the catagory here and it is the same for all of them....

Is this like Titan and Fubar ... makes somekind of bar with icons that drop down info boxes?

If so how do you get it to show..

If not .. what is broker?

I highlighted the important part

Lib Data Broker is essentially an alternative to fubar or titanpanel. From what your describing you need Fortress or another mod that displays the LBD plugins information. The below quote explains it a bit better than I seem to be able to.

Another LBD display not mentioned in the quote is Carousel.

Titan Panel has built in LDB support.

I personally use Fortress to display my broker addons.

Are you using an updated version of Titan? It has had LDB support for a little while now.
