@approxinfinity You should consider installing the "spam-be-gone" plugin.

For v0.5.7, you'll want to install v0.2.52 of the spam-be-gone plugin ↗

Site outage • Apr 11, 2015 03:02 PM

@approxinfinity Awesome job! I see you're on v0.6.1 now? Stylisticlly, you'll like v0.7.0 too, which is coming up in the near future.

How's your redis usage looking? With 52.5k posts, that's quite a lot of activity :)

Hey @approxinfinity -- YouTube embed plugin has landed! ↗

testing a reply without a mention

Hey guys,

As approx said, there is definitely demand for auto-archiving of topics, either a "lock topic after x days", or an inactivity style "lock topic if no responses for x days". Probably both.

@parishawk -- NodeBB should work with iPhones properly, but we'll take a look at it to see if it's something we can fix :)

@DanR, how about :S ?

A ha, on rotation, thanks @brooksmd.

How peculiar -- this is definitely behaviour that we are trying to move away from. After all, side-scrolling on desktop is aggravating enough!

We'll take a look at it ASAP.

Thanks also to @dylans

@dylans -- I see it is a little too big, is this what you are seeing?

The only problem is then I don't remember where to find a discussion!

... and I thought I was the only one with this problem!

Topics going into wrong categories? • Oct 29, 2013 12:01 AM

Latest update includes a new package, so follow the complete upgrade steps (including npm install, npm update nodebb-theme-vanilla, and node app --upgrade)

Items TBD • Oct 28, 2013 05:31 PM

Congratulations on hitting one thousand posts! :)

[Thanks for] stuff from you guys! • Oct 27, 2013 04:24 AM

Thanks @approxinfinity!

The complete list ↗ (same as above, just hosted elsewhere), although I don't have flag icons integrated yet.

Glad to hear it! :)

KU BBall Sucks! (FIRE DRILL) • Oct 26, 2013 09:47 PM

What about archiving inactive threads to clean it up just a bit?

@JayDocMD -- good idea. I'll think about creating a plugin that will auto-archive topics if inactive for a certain period (i.e. 30 days)

I haven't implemented emoticons from the emoji-cheat-sheet, though it should be fairly simple to do.

Right now, the only installable emoticon pack NodeBB has is nodebb-plugin-emoji-skype ↗.

Once I get more time (or if somebody else wants to take a crack at it), I can make another emoticon pack for those smilies mentioned earlier.

One other thing @approxinfinity can do is enable "drag and drop" image uploading, which NodeBB has bundled with every installation.

He needs to just register an "imgur" key, and whenever you drag and drop images into your post create/reply box, it will automatically get uploaded to imgur ↗, no fuss, no muss.

Something to consider :)

p.s. Drag 'n drop image uploading also handles the image embed syntax, too! Bonus!

Hey @Wishawk - that's a great idea!

Re: topic ordering -- you are correct. We order topics by "most recent activity first", so topics that have high interest generally stay at the top. This is a format used by many other forums (by default, anyway), and is a good place to start.

Knowing that there is interest in alternative sorting (such as a straight "original post time, descending") can give us the push to go ahead and create the feature ↗. So kudos. We'll keep it in mind :)

Hey @wishawk -- what sorting capability were you thinking of?

As for threaded v. flat -- that's not exactly a decision that we'd implement right away. We decided to go with a flat approach as a threaded approach has several disadvantages (more information here ↗).

At a later date once NodeBB has come along a bit more, we may re-consider adding support for threaded discussions.

As it stands, it's already hard to represent threaded discussions on a phone :)

How do Favourites and Reputation Work? • Oct 25, 2013 04:07 PM

Hey, NodeBB developer here.

The reason why it's "favourite" is only because we are based out of Toronto, Canada. ;) Old habits die hard, I guess.

At some point, we'll create a "UK/Canadian English" language pack, and we'd remove the "english-isms" out of the default text, just to appease our friendly neighbours to the south.

Fixed ↗, do a git pull followed by an npm install to grab the latest theme CSS.

If after that the images at the top right are still too big, npm remove nodebb-theme-vanilla && npm install nodebb-theme-vanilla

Unfortunately, there's no way yet (although if you use a dash instead of a space, that will work).

Perhaps I can patch it so square brackets (i.e. @[spaced name]) will work...

Good luck!

@approxinfinity - Looks like there are some CSS changes that haven't been published yet (the nodebb-theme-vanilla package).

We'll make it a priority and let you know the moment it's been fixed.

@approxinfinity, you should try using SLAVEOF to migrate your redis db from one server to another.

... but caveat emptor. :P
