General Discussion

Yes, cover picture/photo is what I mean I think. The two images you can put on top of your profile page. One is the small round icon and the other one is like your header on FB for example. Both seem to be called cover picture.

First, I realized immediately after posting that using a plugin IS the way to not break updating and depending on the updates, the plugin would have to be updated too.

Second, yes, poorly configured security could allow someone to clickjack but using X-frame and other headers is typically used to mitigate those kinds of problems.

I'm not sure what you're suggesting however. Are you saying it would be a bad idea to use an iframe in the way I'd like to or that it can be done, just have to be careful to use good security?

My interest is basically to try making our forums a more usable and interactive environment than simply support questions being answered. I'd love to use nodebb if possible.

@NodeHam Right, so that's the thing that's different about this whole decentralized social network thing.

There's no magical engagement algorithm that allows your content to reach other people. If nobody follows you, it doesn't get sent out to other services, so the post stays local to this NodeBB forum.

To get follows, you have to follow others, and hopefully someone with many followers (like my crag.social account) will "boost" your post 🙂

You might've noticed that every time I post about ActivityPub, either my crag.social account, or the NodeBB account on fosstodon.org shares it (sometimes both). That's because those two accounts have much higher follower counts than my NodeBB account. That difference will lessen over time 🙂

There's are other reasons to have two separate NodeBB installs:

you may want to run different sets of plugins uploaded files are stored within the NodeBB directory, best to keep those separate plugins like emoji and customize store files specific to a certain forum, and all plugin files are within the NodeBB folder

Yes, thanks both. I was confused!

@Nuran-Akimbek You are chasing solutions without knowing the reason for the problem.

Listen to what @baris asked of you here: https://community.nodebb.org/post/99346

Fix what is causing your server restarts, and you will fix your problem. You don't have to do something like migrate to Postgres.

@phenomlab
no, ACP - admin/settings/general upload

@mutahar-ali You'd probably want to move the redis server to another machine in that case. Either a separate one, or on the same machine as the Mongo database.

I also had the same problem, checked the config.json 、 admin/settings/general#site-logo、nginx，both set correctly。Also reset the logo and restart , don't know how to solve it, please help me, thanks

@baris got it!

as did the nodebb community

@omega well I do pride myself on a well stocked fridge but maybe not that well stocked :rofl:

@[email protected] hello! Unfortunately I'm busy this coming Tuesday but would be interested to chat about doing something in the future. Something I should be clear about first though is that I'm not involved in Podcamp Toronto or really in the podcasting community at all these days. I ended my last podcast around 2010, so most of my direct experience really is "historical" lol.

You're welcome. Please spread the word about NodeBB in your country. Thank you.

Just as an update, (incase anyone else has this problem), chatgtp was quite good sorting out, and removing older versions, and said:

The naming difference between node and nodejs primarily stems from historical reasons and package management conventions.
In some Linux distributions, including Debian and its derivatives like Ubuntu, the package for Node.js is named nodejs to avoid a conflict with another package called node. This node package is unrelated to Node.js and is used for a different purpose.
The naming convention was introduced to prevent potential conflicts between Node.js and the unrelated node package. However, this led to confusion for users accustomed to using the node command to execute Node.js scripts. To address this confusion, symbolic links or alternatives are often used to allow the node command to point to the nodejs executable.
While the naming convention can indeed be confusing, it's a result of the need to avoid conflicts and maintain compatibility with existing packages. Efforts have been made to streamline this naming difference in newer versions of Node.js, but it may still persist in certain distributions and setups.

Are you sure you want to use Apache web server? Even lightweight nginx working as reverse proxy can be easily overloaded with normal traffic. And you will see a result like this. Similar to attacking php-based forum with ddos-bots traffic.

Bluescreen rate-limiting high traffic will help to reduce server load so you want to leave it as it is.

A better idea is to install firewall or similar software to deny traffic from problematic IPs/countries/etc.

@Mia-smith said in Need suggestion: Experiencing Persistent API Error:

I also check this : https://community.nodebb.org/topic/17758/error-permission-for-opt-config-nodebb-in-installing-with-dockerlooker But I have not found any solution.

Do you have any other problems with your Docker install? For example NodeBB can show all users IPs as localhost if server ports are blocked (communication between Docker app and host machine).

It worked OK and stopped working?

After searching and reading documentation, I found that, csrf token not created in my situation.

Hi,

I'm wondering if it is possible (maybe by Plugin) to add special "Labels" to posts, like these ...

Good/Bad Shape of Post Good/Bad Spelling of Post Excellent Post Impolite Disrespectful Missing Basic Post Requirements Escalating / De-Escalating Post

Connected with every such label is a detailed description what this Label is meaning.

Example

Missing Basic Post Requirements

If you came here because someone flagged your post with this label, you are asked to do the following:

Read this text carefully Fix your post in all stated attributes Be aware that your reputation score may suffer, if you do not fix this If you fixed your post, you may ask a moderator for feedback and finally to remove the label, if resolved.

For a post in a technical forum like this one here, please take care of the following:

Spelling: Use correct spelling and grammar. Write in full sentences. Shape: Create your post, so one can easily read it. Use paragraphs, clear language, maybe use headers. Informations: Supply concrete Informations about your problem Facts: Supply entered commands and output given by those commands. Supply Screenshots only if text based information is not available or Screenshots are more useful in your case than text Politeness: Uphold Politeness at all times. No abusive words. Request: Phrase a request, how others can help you here. What do you want?

Reputation Score Impact

Starting from 5 own posts flagged with this label, every further post with this label reduces reputation score by 1

Other Ideas about that topic

The labels may be visible in Forum/Subforum-View The lables should be editable by Permission which may be granted to users and groups Moderators may be informed about certain Label-Assignments (Disrespectful, Impolite, ...) Moderators can clear labels Disable User-Labels for certain Posts (After a moderator review the situation, it's no longer useful to have user labels, so a moderator may disable user-labels)
