    @julian I look forward to the day when this part of NodeBB is released.

    @julian Yes, I have a lot of examples. I was thinking I would work through Harmony and submit PRs to it. Seems like the right thing to do. However, if you want to see for yourself, I think you should run this forum through the sitechecker.pro, it is very illuminating. In the last few weeks, I have learned a lot about how pages are viewed and processed by analytics platforms. For now, I have turned off analysis of my forum so I can hit my target score for the rest of my site. When I spin it up again, I will provide more details. I am also learning what portions of the forum I should hide from analyis/spiders.

    @baris addressed one issue I found last week.

    Link Preview Image Challenges in SEO optimization, and related topics

    @baris is this update to Harmony published already? And, do I just run an upgrade with npm or ./nodebb?

    The other thing, front of mind, is there are some "category" links somewhere, and it appears to be a partial "/category/" which is a 404; my guess is that it receives context on click.

    Canonical URLs are having some issues pretty broadly.

    Page meta-tag descriptions are the same for almost every page.

    Social Graph data has overlapping issues with the above two issues.

    @frontendjulien It's this one:

    migrate your old crappy forum to NodeBB. Contribute to akhoury/nodebb-plugin-import development by creating an account on GitHub.

    GitHub (github.com)

    It's been awhile, and it only imports a forum to an older version of NodeBB, but upgrading afterwards is pretty straightforward.

    Otherwise I would still recommend contacting Lincoln Russell to see if he's interested in helping you out.

    TIL pressing F5 in notepad will insert the Time & Date stamp. Which is nice, so probably I'll just write a script for myself to automate the timestamp insertion as it should not be dynamically on site loading/refreshing - also performance wise it might lead to issues. Don't know if there is a way to add this functionality to the composer though - similiar like for the emojis. If there is a comprehensive guide to do so or at least to get started with it I'll add it to my todo-if-too-much-time list. 😉

    @brother-info This forum is dedicated to NodeBB, and it looks like your question is in relation to SQL and SSIS. NodeBB does not support SQL server and therefore, we cannot assist in this instance.

    Hi @vijay-kumavat, are those users responding, administrators or privileged?

    Can you see those scheduled topics in an incognito tab?

    Ok, seems like I can't use the html to embedd it as an iframe ... also not inside the forum?

    @huige I do not think you can tag posts for now... just topics... please check some relevant discussions on the topic below...

    Link Preview Image Tags for posts in addition to topics

    Over at mangolass.it (managed by @scottalanmiller) we have long had problems with search just completely sucking. Has anyone ever looked into the feasibility...

    @WM-7Ebra There are quite a few internal references that use the cid, so it's not quite that simple to dive into the db and change things (though please don't let me stop you 😆)

    If you don't have a lot of content on your forum, it might just be easiest to trash the forum and start over!

    Or if cid 2 is still around (not purged), you can delete all of the topics inside it, and move all the topics from cid 3 into cid 2.

    @[email protected] wow, thanks so much for running your test for me! It means a lot.

    Also your note about our abnormally high LCP (sans asterisk) is interesting, considering the tricks that other sites utilize to artificially lower LCP, but which we don't bother with.

    Ironically since the LCP* is lower than LCP, it suggests that us fixing this only results in a higher PageSpeed score but might not actually result in net benefit for end users. Ha!... but if there is a content shift, that's definitely a problem that needs to be addressed.

    I'm not going to lie and say we don't chase metrics, we totally do... we just try to increase our metrics by actually making the site faster!

    @[email protected] Thanks for elucidating this so succinctly. It's a sentiment towards javascript development that I've held for nearly a decade.

    13 years ago we were joking about whether technology X was "web scale", and hundreds of developers drank the valley kool-aid and went all-in on building objectively simple CRUD apps using the most complicated kitchen-sink frameworks that required multiple developers to maintain and extend.

    The unix philosophy of doing one thing and doing it well, still holds true to this day.
