If you'll start NodeBB and leave it running, I'll see if I can can connect to it and register a profile

I can't this server is not open on internet, only in local.

Thank you all for your help.

Hubot integration would be a neat plugin. I looked into this briefly when the team dabbled with HipChat (long story short, HipChat is no longer installed on our computers).

This does look very cool, quite interested in getting my hands on it sometime in the near future.

Also note that "sticker" under avatar only works in Lavender theme.

I am running 2 nodebb installs on a 256 MB ramnode vps it is surprisingly smooth as you would guess from my sig 😆

You're welcome, guys! 🙂

Edit: Aways lurking in the dark, @julian ... 🙂

@julian Doesn't appear to be. 😆

Seems like we're all on the same page of potentially possible - but a bad idea; just as anticipated.

nodebb-plugin-dbsearch and nodebb-plugin-solr use those hooks 🙂

@scottalanmiller Are you utilising spam-be-gone now? (Have you been using it all along?)

We unofficially take abandoned plugins under the NodeBB umbrella... but don't want to set a precedent... otherwise that org is going to be a dumping ground for half-finished, broken NodeBB plugins 😄

Not yet, looking to use it soon but don't want to add more plugins while chat and other features are broken.

@trevor
Filtered channels and private conversations are a great approach, but I think NodeBB won't go that way in the future.
So esoTalk is an alternative to NodeBB because it's also fast and comfortable to use.

The combination with all the benefits of both would be the absolute best solution...

Tip: You can also change the font easily under the Custom CSS section in ACP.

Example:

@import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:300,400); body { font-family: "Lato", sans-serif !important; }

@a_5mith I have a new issue now but it could be because I am running the rc version but I installed the latest version available (v0.5.0-2) but I am getting huge CPU spikes randomly from the forum that makes the server sluggish for up to 5 minutes.

Thanks @a_5mith , @julian

I will just try and take backup and upgrade when it is ready.

req.user is set on login.

@esiao Just changed the font to Raleway, then back again, and it's not doing it now. Seems to have automagically fixed itself. Or Google are playing with something. 😕

@julian Unfortunately they weren't, but @psychobunny's suggestion worked a treat.
