Discussion Hub is a general discussion hub helping you get a little blast from the past. Enjoy coloured usernames, special userbars and a tight-knit community.
Enjoy the weekend guys. Day 1 of my lovely little holiday break so looking forward to relaxing and not working. Anyone up to anything interesting this weekend?
We've got a bit of sun over here but we're predicted a lot of rain over the coming days/weeks. Not sure whether that's something I like or hate at the moment.
To be fair, I think that's the case for a lot of people around the world so don't feel too bad about it. The majority of people will hate their work but do it for the money. It's not easy finding something you like, unfortunately.
Hopefully one of those applications ends up being for a job you...
Yeah, apps that let you choose "system default" as an option are just amazing. I couldn't imagine having to go through every app and manually changing it to either light or dark whenever I changed my mind.
Yeah. I still had it on yours until a few days ago when I changed it. If you see that username (kingcool56) on a forum that I use, it's because I'm either too lazy or don't like the site lol.
Definitely. But I guess he is the perfect man to support the players especially the ones that missed. They are going to feel bad for a very long time especially Saka.
Isn't it bad to have your registration in the glovebox? Over here in the UK, it's a sort of 4 page form thing with details of your car and mini forms to transfer your car to a new owner etc. So it's better for us to just keep it at home.
I think we can all agree that if you said you liked anime a little while ago, you might have ended up inside a locker or with your head down the toilet ? . But that seems to have changed a lot recently with anime becoming a bit more "mainstream" and popular.
Did anyone here get bullied or made...
Thank you very much for the kind words @Oblivion Knight. That is exactly what I wanted from the theme so it's great that you got that feeling from the theme.
Great to hear @Kylie. Hoping to make some improvements to the V1 light theme this weekend :)
I don't believe they do. I use uBlock Origin and I still have to choose whether to accept cookies or not. Not sure if there is a setting hidden somewhere that sorts that out though.
Fluent in English...obviously. I'm currently learning to speak Spanish which is going somewhat well. Just the basics down so far, thanks to Duolingo. Hopefully I can come back to this thread and say I'm fluent in Spanish as well.
Technically nothing because the lockdown was here and the weather wasn't great. My summer has been delayed and will actually be occurring in August! A little staycation trip to the Peak District and enjoying some lovely time off from work
Not sure about other countries but in the UK, I believe you can get some sort of exception certification/card that proves you can't get it for a medical reason.
Not too sure if you can choose not to get it based on religious beliefs.
I wouldn't mind a 365 day vacation. I actually think it would be a cool thing for everyone to get just once in their lifetime. One year, salary paid. Obviously not realistic but would be dope :(
Glad you guys like the new changes. I will have the same new rewards shared out for previous TPOM winners that didn't receive their rewards yet. I believe that goes back around 2 months.
Howdy, everyone. Last day of my 4 day weekend which is a shame :(. But the good thing is that my paid time off starts in August so not too long until I'm on holiday again!
Listening to music, in general, can be very good, no matter what mood you are in. If you are down, it can really help improve your mood as well especially if you listen to the right music (don't listen to negative or sad music lol).
Dark mode definitely. But with my phone, I have it set up so the theme is based on the time of the day. So during the day, everything uses light mode and at night, I have dark mode enabled with a blue light filter as well.
Just a shortened version of my name. Previously, I went by the username kingcool56 (or 52). With that username, I just came up with two random words, put them together and then chose a random number. I definitely had to get rid of that username when I grew up lol
There are a million virtual things you could offer though. Sometimes, people just like to donate to help out the community and owner so they don't care too much about the benefits.
No, and I don't think I would bother really. If it's for a forum, a Reddit page is only going to take activity away from your forum which is never a good thing. And it's going to be extremely difficult to use a Reddit page to promote a forum.
Not much posting for me over the weekend because I am secretly working on some new things for the forum. One thing that is finished is the new landing page for Hubux and Winbux. Check it out by clicking on "Hubux" in the Menu ;)
Discussion Hub Top Posters of the Month Challenge
For months, we have been recognising the top 3 posters of the community and rewarding them with some great rewards for their hard work and important contributions to the forum. With new additions to the forum, we have decided that it was time...
TPOM prizes will be updated later tonight. To add to that, on the 1st of August, anyone that is still waiting for TPOM prizes from the previous months will get the new prizes.
Nice. I know there is a free airliner so that will most likely be my first download. I think all the Microsoft World Updates have to be downloaded from the in-game marketplace as well right?
Storage is not a problem. My Series X will be just for Forza, Sea of Thieves, and MSFS.
Hopefully, we get a lot of mods as well. Apparently, most of the stuff will also be available on console as long as the developers can be bothered. Is there a lot of free mods?
Looking to finally learn how to play poker. Does anyone know of any good resources (websites or apps)? My previous experience has been with this game called WSOP (I think) and involved me just going all in every time lol.
It would be hard to call it a content management system, to be honest since it seems you can't just create new pages and build a "website". It's a pretty advanced social networking platform basically.
Such a good film. The second one where he went on holiday to France was amazing as well.
There are a lot of funny films out there that I love but honestly, I would have to go for Superbad. That film was just perfect and I would happily watch it over and over again.
Honestly, a lot of the Marvel castings. Every single one just seems perfect but special shout outs to whoever cast Iron Man, Thor, Spiderman, and Loki. Loki and Iron Man have to be the best examples.
I never read the books either, to be honest. The fact it was rushed was definitely something that ruined it for me. It was just small things here and there that when you consider it as a whole, it just ruins it. Like, why did the bells ringing just randomly trigger Daenerys?
Evening everyone. Another warm day for us although it's slightly more bearable right now. The plan was to go to the beach this weekend but guess what? Rain and thunderstorms predicted :(
Wow, that's quite interesting to find out actually. Because I would always assume that most meat-eaters would have had the main ones - lamb, beef, pork, chicken etc.
Are there any lamb dishes that you've seen that you would like to try first?
Definitely. I don't hate my job and I'm pretty happy at my current place but I honestly would love to never have to work again. Just being able to do whatever you want, whenever you want would be so much fun!
Whilst it may not be what you wanted, that doesn't mean it isn't for you. Keep a positive attitude and keep trying for some more positions. The perfect job for you might just be one interview away ;)
Yes but not in a way that ruins the show. I understand why they went for that number of episodes although I love the show so much that I would happily watch more.
It's going to be a pain moving that anywhere else though. Forum software isn't going to have an importer for Guilded data which is going to be a problem
I was curious to see how many users were using specific themes that we have available here at Discussion Hub so I went on a little adventure to find out. These were the results:
Default Theme (which is current DH V1 Dark) - 101 users
Discussion Hub V1 (Dark) - 13 users
Discussion Hub V2 (Dark)...
Yeah. Otherwise, I think I would have died in this heat because my room is awful in the heat.
75 notifications. I wonder if I can go through them all today? :unsure:
Having used it, it's definitely quite a unique software and has some great features. But I'm not sure I would use it as a forum alternative. I like having control over my site and whilst you can do a lot with Guilded, there just isn't the same amount of freedom as hosting your own site.
I need to start giving out the TPOM prizes again, lol. I can't remember how many months it has been now since I promised the prizes were going to change and I would let everyone know.
The latest Discussion Hub official auction has arrived and this time around, you can win... a custom group! Now, what does a custom group get you on this lovely forum? It will allow you to have your very own Discussion Hub Group Forum and Section where you can discuss any topic that the group is...
I guess they died down a bit when PostLoop (or it might have been TheForumWheel) died in terms of activity. They were promoting the site a lot with that and there was quite a lot of activity on the site because of that.
True. As long as the owner is doing a lot of work, the same can be expected from the other staff members on the forum as well. I don't think it would be fair for an admin to hire staff and then just not doing anything whilst expecting them to do everything.
I guess warnings sometimes aren't beneficial because trolls probably like the attention. Fortunately, we've never really had to deal with this here at Discussion Hub. Depending on what they are doing, a warning would probably be the best thing to start with (even if it is useless) and then just...
What's even worse about cookies is when you have to worry about them when building a site from scratch. Because that means you actually have to research the topic and decide how the hell you let your users control what cookies they want etc.
Yeah, it's a lot better than advertisements if you can get those conversions in. Just a few upgraded members can help you out a lot and create more revenue than ads ever could.
It's hard at the start because you need a bit of luck. We have a good group of core members here at Discussion Hub that arrived from a few different places and it helped a lot that they stayed on and became active members of the community.
After that, I guess only advertising can help you grow...
I think I've heard of both of them but I've never really looked into them properly. FluxBB looks pretty simple and plain so it's probably not something I would bother with. MyBB has always been my go-to for free forum software.
I rely on my host to do daily backups but I probably should do a few more manually. I know that we actually had a problem with the host generated backup a while ago so it's probably not the best thing to rely solely on them.
As you guys can see, I am god awful at creating new topics for Discussion Hub. That's what I rely on you guys for :p. I am looking to change that though so expect to see a lot more new, interesting topics from me ;)
I think they used to provide free credit for something so I used them once or twice. It's basically a Fiverr clone that isn't as good, unfortunately. The service I got was okay but nothing special because they, unfortunately, don't have a great user base to choose from.
To be fair, even if they are working for free, I don't think it's unfair to set up some minimum requirements. For me, I've always had great staff members on my site so I've never had to really consider things like that. But if they aren't being great staff members, it doesn't help your forum at...
I've never really looked into it but I presume the good ones want to make sure that they keep you on so they require a larger deposit amount so that you are less likely to just leave.
The smaller ones obviously need to provide a reason for you to use them so they entice you with a lower...
Black and blue I guess considering I do love my dark themes, especially for forums. Yellow and black is quite a nice combination although I've never used them for a website.
If anyone is interested in cool colour combinations, I always find this site extremely useful - https://coolors.co/
I think I might be verified as a webmaster/website owner on Forumer but I'm not sure if the site even exists anymore because the owner did want to sell it at some point.
I'm not verified anywhere else and neither is Discussion Hub. I've never really looked into doing it anywhere.
Barber on Mars. I don't want to visit Mars because it is too far away.
I won't :p
Realistic - A trip to the beach, then an arcade and end the day with some nice food at a restaurant. Far fetched - Trip to the moon
Nowhere. Don't like nightclubs ;)
If anyone ever gets 1000 posts in a month, they will definitely get their very own award ;)
@Phenom has gone missing for a little bit so looks like we might have a chance to catch up to him this month @Laifot!
I'm going to jump into the multiplayer, come find you, and crash into your plane :p.
Is the November planes, the Top Gun content that they revealed? I saw the list of planes for the base edition and I really wish they had more airliners. Only having two seems to be a bit crap
I don't have any gaming stores near me (as far as I am aware). Even if there were, I probably wouldn't shop with them because it's just easier for me to shop for gaming stuff from the larger shops. They offer better protection and have way better refund policies which are pretty important (for...
Tough one. I would probably go for Iron Man in the end as well, just because of how smart he is, how rich he is, and how damn cool it would be to have his tech.
Can't remember how season 7 was but season 6 was pretty good. I'm guessing you've seen all the stuff about the last season?
I binge watch a lot of shows (usually anyway). I haven't really had the chance recently to binge watch stuff because I've been pretty busy. I usually watch about one...
Not too bad, to be honest. I guess, it depends on the place obviously but a normal place would probably charge around £8-10 for a dish which is about $11-13 USD
This wonderful game is arriving for the Xbox Series X and S later this month (the 27th). Anyone else looking into playing it? Or have you already played it on PC?
I don't. He is an honourary Team Rex member so he will be keeping his Hubux :p
Been on forums since I was about 9 or 10 I think. Although back then, since I was young, my forums weren't too great.
For certain things. Social media has its benefits especially for keeping in touch with friends...
Jumped into the show as a complete beginner so a few things were confusing but overall, I loved the show. The characters were great and the plot was good. Haven't watched the trailer for the new season as yet but I can't wait. It's going to be a very interesting Christmas with this
Tough one because there are so many that I will have definitely forgotten about. I'm going to ignore the shows that have completely finished like Breaking Bad. So for me, it would be
Ozarks
Sons of Anarchy
Lucifer
Watched a few episodes from Season 8 of The Office on Netflix. Not sure if I'm going to start all over again or just keep watching random episodes from different seasons.
As the years fly by, I presume everyone has noticed how certain "retro" styles seem to be coming back. What's your favourite retro style that has come back into fashion? For me, it has to be the slightly big glasses that used to be quite popular a very long time ago
Important documents (insurance mainly). I don't have a car manual but I have it on my phone so that's not an issue. I also have the wheel lock/nut thing (no idea what you call it). Other than that, there's not much in mine.
Has to be football for me. The whole of the UK is gripped by it and we all passionately follow our clubs. I don't think I could ever watch another sport as closely. Other than football, I would probably go for American Football.
I thought it was the other way round actually. We weren't great after the first goal and were quite poor. The tactics were completely wrong and the timing of the subs was not good. Doesn't help that the lineup for the pens wasn't great either.
Italy have been great throughout the tournament...
I think we're all going to slow down a bit :p. Not sure everyone can keep up with this amount of posting every day.
Favourite airport in flight simulator?
No idea, to be honest. I presume there is only one.
Mars is too far away.
By adding some lovely auctions and shop items that everyone definitely wants but is extremely expensive.
Howdy people! Went missing for a day or two but I am back. Got a lot of posting to do to ensure Team Rex wins and my team mates don't kill me for not posting :p
Just realised, this might be a permissions issue with your group. It was meant to be 24 hours so anything after that is not auto-merged. It should be fixed now
We may have to delay this slightly until we look into it further or find an alternative plugin. When a thread is "bumped", all it does is updated the time of the last post which I don't like. It just messes up things. I would prefer for nothing to be changed except for the thread simply being...
This is perfect. I don't want to get rid of the auto-merge function as there was a brief period where some users were double posting to get up higher in the TPOM (none of you guys :p). Will look into getting this added on to the forum later today @Phenom
We tend to be pretty relaxed over here so I guess there is less chance of this happening here especially with such an amazing moderator alongside me (@Terminated). If a staff member tried this on my forum, I would give them a warning, and if they did it again, they would be back as a regular...
If you have the right niche for it, a blog can be extremely beneficial as an addition to your forum. The crafts niche is honestly a perfect one for a blog and could help bring in a lot of new users and visitors to your forum. It's definitely a lot of work but maybe you could ask some guest...
Exactly what Oldbuddy mentioned @Lämmchen. The only real benefit that I have heard of is that they can be increased or decreased in size without it affecting the quality of the image. That tends to be very beneficial if you create logos in that format because those tend to be resized a lot.
Woah, what happened? This sounds like something we all want to find out about!
We've never had a fight with another forum although I did notice one site directly copying our content once. Sent a few strongly worded messages to him on his forum and in the end, he apologised so I guess it ended well.
GIMP is a program I used a very long time ago but haven't touched in a while. I just don't really see the need to download it since I don't design graphics very often. I guess I never looked into using it properly either which is why most of it just confused me when I did use it
I'm still trying to work it out for this forum, to be honest. The problem with advertising a general discussion forum is that you can't really use some of the traditional platforms like social media sites. So that tends to just leave other forums which is not always easy.
Because I don't tend to design graphics a lot, I have never bothered to actually go out and find a proper graphic design program to download and use. Because of that, I just use Gravit Designer which is a sort of online graphic design program. It's good enough for me as most of the stuff I...
It would take a long time, to be honest, so I'm not too sure. It feels like we've been posting for a long time and we're all still around the 2-4k mark.
It's funny coming back to this because we actually scrapped premium memberships. But with the removal of advertisements from the site, we ended up going back to them. We have 2 upgraded members at the moment so I guess it was a good move.
Well, my first move on your forum when I get back to working on it is to get rid of this guy lol :p
Ah, that guy lol. I was wondering what the hell that suggestion was about because it was a bit silly really. There were no clear benefits for the move and he didn't exactly sell it well
I think Forum Promotion is the forum that I have the most posts on but I've been a member over there for like 8-9 years. So DH is probably gonna end up being the forum that I have posted on the most very soon.
For my new Xbox, from nowhere, because I will just be using the Game Pass to get access to games on the platform. For my PS5, it is mostly from Amazon, although there are some games I just get from the PSN Store as it's easier and quicker.
That was me for one of the recent games in the last round. I was driving around trying to pick up a family member and secretly hoping it was going to extra time so I could come back and watch it lol
Right now, a lot of things. But I think the things I always feel guilty about after spending money on it is takeaways. Even though I don't have it a lot compared to some, I definitely think I should reduce my spending on them.
I've never really thought about stairs that way but if I try to think about it properly, I would probably say going up. When I think of stairs, I always imagine a set of stairs from the bottom, looking up I guess
Masks were required over here inside stores and on public transport so whenever we went inside a store, we would put on a mask. But that requirement is going to disappear later this month so looking forward to not wearing one.
Evening everyone. Not too bad of a day at work and now I'm just enjoying the lovely football match. Looking like it's going to be a very close game until the end!
+1 on that. Although, I've stayed away from social media for this forum as I don't think it's as effective for general discussion forums. Finding the right places to advertise this forum has been quite difficult.
I've used Canva from time to time to create some banners. They are great for creating graphics for social media sites although I only stuck to their free plan.
True. But I guess that matters a little less for a sort of static site that is going to act as just a portfolio. The reason why I'm moving away from paid hosting is since the site is not properly developed so it's just a waste for me to pay for hosting.
x10Hosting was a site I used previously...
28,000 big ones for the forum which is great! Let's hope we hit that lovely little milestone of 30,000 posts very soon. Maybe even before the end of the month
Slightly hate but Happy Belated Independence Day to everyone that celebrates it. Hope you guys had a great day, had some great food, and enjoyed the fireworks.
Does she not like picnics or is she not bothered to go for one? Might be like me, I'm just not a huge fan of them. Can't be bothered to sit on the floor and eat food.
I actually haven't binge-watched a show in a little while now so I can't even remember. It might have been Motherland on Netflix/BBC iPlayer.
I have been here. And I'm going to guess you were 40,000 feet in the sky flying your planes
Free hosting is not great but I guess it's not too awful for a static site that isn't going to get a large number of views. I don't see the point of using a premium host for my portfolio site (which is not even properly set up at the moment) so looking to move it to a free web host.
Is anyone...
Not really. It's already pretty hard to manage the 4 (well 5 actually) themes we have right now so I don't plan on adding any more. I'm 100% sure some of the other themes are missing certain things that the main theme has.
I would go for the same predictions although I'm slightly less confident about the final result. Fingers crossed though!
Are there any upcoming games that you are interested in?
