The cancellation still stings years later.

Started three series this month and finished none of them — a new personal record.

Would love to hear how you all handle this.

Curious what everyone else here thinks about it.

Site speed moved my average position more than any backlink campaign ever did.

I ditched GA for a lightweight self-hosted analytics tool and lost nothing I actually used.

Spam registrations dropped to nearly zero after enabling a good Q&A challenge.

I switched the cache store to Redis and the ACP feels snappier now.

Dark mode is a one-liner media query once your colours live in variables.

I design in the browser almost exclusively now; mockups only for client sign-off.

Bootstrap 5 works fine inside MyBB as long as you namespace your overrides.

A lot of old 1.6-era themes only need template tweaks to render correctly.

Keeping templates in Git finally lets me diff changes sanely.

I did a bit of searching but could not find a recent thread on this, so here we go.

Hooks are the heart of MyBB plugins —
Code: PHP
$plugins->add_hook('pre_output_page', 'my_func');
is where everything starts.

Returning true from a by-value hook replaces the argument; by-reference hooks mutate in place — check the call site.

Would love to hear how you all handle this.

I have replayed this game six times and I will absolutely do it again.

Soundtrack vinyl collecting is my side hobby — game OSTs are incredible value.

Be brutal — I would rather hear it here than from a client.

Everything is custom except the CMS, and the CSS is all variables so theming is trivial.

I rebuilt the whole front page based on what users actually clicked.

Make sure you take both a files and a database backup before upgrading.

Any tips, experiences or strong opinions welcome.

Finally finished the rebuild after months of collecting parts one sale at a time.

Undervolting dropped my temps 10°C with zero performance loss.

I have been rebuilding my forum theme with a file-based workflow and it is so much nicer than clicking through the ACP.

My vinyl shelf is small but every record earns its place.

Live music is one of the few things I will happily overspend on.

Undervolting dropped my temps 10°C with zero performance loss.

Went from air to an AIO and the noise difference at load is night and day.

I debloat Windows with a small script and a restore point — never had an issue.

There is a special category of album that just works front to back, no skips.

I keep a list of essential plugins and thought I would share it here.

Returning true from a by-value hook replaces the argument; by-reference hooks mutate in place — check the call site.

Hooks are the heart of MyBB plugins —
Code: PHP
$plugins->add_hook('pre_output_page', 'my_func');
is where everything starts.

Remember: _activate() should be reversible, _install() owns permanent structures.

Go on, share yours. Rules: no politics, keep it fun.

Mine is simple — sleeping until noon and not feeling guilty about it.

Maybe this has been discussed before, but I could not find anything recent.

Handheld PCs turned my commute into actual gaming time instead of doom-scrolling.

After years of flagships I switched to a midrange phone and honestly barely notice the difference.
