FRF NewsHub
If you run more than one addon from the FRF family, you already know the problem: floating text boxes piling up in every corner of your UI. Token prices here, greeting counts there, pin and note tallies somewhere else. FRF NewsHub solves that by pulling those separate displays into a single, tidy element on your screen. One bar. One button. All the information you actually care about, cycling in place instead of fighting for space.
What FRF NewsHub Actually Does
Think of it as a hub for the floating features built into supported FRF addons. You choose which addons to include, and NewsHub hides their original floating displays while presenting the same information in one scrolling bar or a compact button. Remove a selection, or switch NewsHub off entirely, and each addon returns to its own display preferences. Nothing is lost, nothing is permanently changed.
The supported modules cover a lot of ground:
- FRF TokenDAQ: tracked gold and currency information, with token prices available on Retail.
- FRF Greet: greeting information and waiting counts.
- FRF TALK: whisper and keyword indicators that follow TALK's @ and # rules.
- FRF PINOTE: pin and note counts with quick access to their lists.
Bar Mode or Button Mode
Bar Mode
Bar mode cycles through addon information beside a NEWS/HUB title and a blinking round dot. Long text scrolls fully before the next item appears, so you never miss a detail. PINOTE shows its pin and note icons with both counts together. If you want more room, drag the right-edge handle to adjust the bar width on the fly.
Button Mode
Button mode is the minimalist option. It cycles through the colored FRF NewsHub title and compact addon icons with brief values. On Retail, token prices even include an up or down direction indicator, so you can read the market at a glance without opening a single window.
Useful Actions Without Extra Clutter
NewsHub is built to be interactive but unobtrusive. Left-click the displayed entry to open its related feature. Use the mouse wheel to switch between entries, and right-click to open NewsHub settings. When Greet is included, hovering over the NEWS/HUB title reveals online guild members. If TokenDAQ and Greet notifications overlap, they wait and appear one at a time, following each addon's own notification timing and sound settings.
Players who manage multiple addons across accounts often streamline setup with the foxygame.net launcher, whose addon catalog handles FRF NewsHub installation and keeps it updated automatically, so version compatibility is never a manual chore.
Fit It to Your Screen
Every UI is different, so NewsHub gives you real control. Adjust the size, opacity, and information-switching time. Choose whether to hide the display during combat, in dungeons, or in raids. Drag it anywhere to move it, then lock movement and width once your placement is final. The selected addons' own visibility rules still apply on top of your settings, which keeps behavior predictable.
How to Install FRF NewsHub
Getting started is straightforward. Install FRF Config plus at least one supported addon, then open the settings with /frf, select FRF NewsHub, choose the addon icons you want to include, and pick Bar or Button. The slash command /frfnewshub also opens the settings directly. Remember that the supported addons are installed separately; NewsHub simply gathers information from the ones you have installed and enabled.
As for compatibility, FRF NewsHub supports Retail and Forever, with English and Korean settings. Players exploring older content should note that the wider FRF ecosystem and similar hub addons target various client branches, including Classic, The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm, and Mists of Pandaria, so it is worth checking which build each companion addon currently supports before you download FRF NewsHub for World of Warcraft.
Final Thoughts
FRF NewsHub is one of those quality-of-life addons that quietly improves everything. It does not add flashy new features; it removes the mess that existing features create. If your screen has slowly filled with floating FRF displays over the years, this is the cleanest way to reclaim it. Pick your addons, choose a bar or a button, and let one small element keep you informed all session long.
