    @ChaosYamYT this is a really old Post. You'll want to just install plugins from the admin panel.

    The first commit to NodeBB was nearly four years ago, and in that time, many changes have been made to the core code itself, from feature additions and bug fixes, to bundling of must-have plugins for all installations.

    As with any code that matures, schema changes needed to be made over time to ensure that stored data was kept in an ideal manner, so as to reduce the use of anti-patterns such as god tables and XYZ. The second reason schema changes are made are due to revisions in the original implementation. Perhaps a design decision from before could have been done in a more efficient way, and that may need a migration of active data from one data type to another (e.g. a list to a sorted set).

    I strongly believe that you should mention some details about changes in features for both backend and front-end. Not everybody can go through github and track changes.

    Thanks for your hard work, BTW.

    @Arc That is very true, by looking at the top plugin downloads, you can see what functionality many users want out-of-the-box, although we take a pretty firm stance on keeping core lean.

    @julian, how about Parse? I checked their API and I am pretty sure I can integrate it into the app.

    Today's article will be a short how-to guide regarding a common problem with horizontally scaled NodeBB installations:

    In a deployment environment with more than one NodeBB server, locally uploaded files (post images, avatars, etc) are split between the application servers, and n-1/n images will always be missing, where n is the number of servers

    By next year, I hope there is some type of competition as far as themes go, I'll just stand on the sidelines while Tanner collects his prizes! Next year (if we do this again) I won't let such an easy win slip by like that again... Congrats Tanner, you've earned it. 🙂

    And Technowix that sounds like an excuse lol.

    You'd better not sit on the sidelines next time. Looking forward to the challenge! 😛
