    Every time I do an upgrade it does not go well. There is always some kind of error even though I am following the upgrade process from the docs.

    Same here. Haven't had one work yet, actually. Not since 0.3 I think.

    So I've found the problem.
    on an online server of "mongodb-server" was installed.
    when I changed it into "mongodb-org-server" He has shown the groups.

    So it could be because it is located on the MongoDB.

    Is there a way to set the default daily digest settings for all current users and any future registered users for the site? The default seems to be off but, I would like to change that to weekly if it is possible.

    Thanks!

    I actually just read this article about how there's a strip club frequented by the local tech scene O_O ... for the food. (well, not JUST the food I guess)

    And yes, there are between 7-10 coffee shops on my 1.5 mile walk to work, and a Blue Bottle and Philz just opened up on the same block as my building! XD

    If you are only going to use mongodb definitely have multiple collections with indices that make sense. For example your users collection can have indices on username whereas your posts collection can have indices on content and userid etc.

    Well, remember that NodeBB is firstly designed with redis in mind (a simple in-memory key/value store) so that might affect the document design decisions they made for their mongodb collection.

    This is why we have one collection in our mongodb implementation. To make db.delete db.rename easy to implement. From the db perspective there is no difference between a post and user object they are both indexed by the _key field so finding them is easy. For sorting and querying we use sorted sets, they are implemented in mongo using indices on value and score.

    if embedded documents in my collection persons is more efficient than saving them in the same collection with a different key.

    I wouldn't suggest embedding lots of documents, mongodb has a document size limit of 16mb so it won't let you insert more users after some point.

    To be clear, i'm talking about localizing the navigation and the back-end (not the content) so non default language speakers will also be able to join and there will also be a section dedicated to English/other language speakers.

    Ah, okay! That makes sense.

    I don't know any way and it would surprise me if there was since it's an aim of Markdown to get rid of bad markup.
    What does justify text to be centered? Mostly you do this for some kind of header-text, use #, ##, etc. for this.
    Maybe you want to use it as some kind of footer, use --- (hr) for the separation.

    Centered text is just meant for esthetic reasons but the text doesn't really have a justification for this, so Markdown doesn't support such usage in order to keep a clean standard.

    If it's images you want to be aligned centered I can understand your sense of esthetic. But you still need the admins help to allow this (e.g. using this hack).

    As another thought (and totally brainstorming here), what are the thoughts on a feature where when a user replies to a post they are given the option to reply in a forked thread? Very much like the "comment on comments" you see in mainstream social media.

    UPDATE -- just found some older discussion on this, and was glad to see it!
