@pwFoo Well, hashtags aren't the only possibility with tagging. You could use other keyboard parameters instead. The ~ key etc.

@a_5mith Sounds good

Considering Redis' clustering is strictly master-slave and doesn't support multi-master, it would be nice to be able to read and write from different Redis instances. A very basic example: reading from the local Redis slave while writing to an external Redis master. Compared to the current situation (reading from and writing to the same Redis instance, which has to be the master because you can't write to slaves), this would result in data being returned faster from the local slave and the load on the remote master would be lowered. Some potential failover situations: Master up, slave(s) down: Read from the Master instead of the slaves Master up, one of many slaves down: Read from the node specified in the config as failover for this one, if not configured read from other slave, if all slaves are down read from master. Master down, slave(s) up: Enter a StackOverflow-esque read-only mode, 503 all requests to the yet-to-be-written Write API.

Would allow for adding a larger search bar in the global widget header, which would suit those wanting to display their forum in a stack overflow style manner. After 0.5.0 though, naturally. Sidenote, the ability to not index certain forums in the search would be tip top, do a search for mobile, the top 3 posts are from Testing Forum, does apache solr have any weighting behind it to guage the useful topics from the not so useful?

@gaasg No problem, you can click their name in users of the ACP and it takes you to the same place, do bear in mind that they can change their name back if they wish to.

When "community.nodebb.org" was updating, nginx servered a "502 Bad Gateway" text error page instead of a custom page displaying something like: "We will be back soon". I recommend that NodeBB creates a static page that is directly servered by nginx when NodeBB is down. This page should use the exact same theme as you currently have selected for your site. I think the link to nginx should be automated as much as possible (maybe ask [yes]/no permission in setup). But if it can't be there needs to be an easy tutorial on how to link nginx to this static page. The static page should be able to be overridden. It should be updated every time the theme changes. Thoughts?

You can explicitly follow a topic, perhaps you should also be able to explicitly mute one?

@julian said: @hek What is the problem, the jumping doesn't actually take you to the bottom? Nope. It loads jumps around and I end up at the top post. But it is intermittent. Sometimes it works. I'll try clearing the bookmark (is it stored locally?) to see if it helps.

@Gateman said: How to do that? Not implemented, but if it is, it should be optional, a simple on or off.

http://pastie.org/private/m5rujypbiwdf9xj55ysa6w Not sure if this is useful but I found it in the nginx error log

Third-party email server is still encouraged (e.g. Mandrill, PostageApp). I don't believe anybody uses the local email plugin, but I could be wrong!

I suppose it would be very much like downtime you'd see if you were upgrading any large CMS. Have you tried using nginx to automatically send users to a pre-determined, statically-hosted error page if the connection to NodeBB 502s?

@psychobunny sounds good, I've finally got around to looking at theming, got a great (probably) idea for a theme.

Oy, topic permissions are a huge undertaking... I'm out sure how nicely it'll play with the Frontend either...

Forgot the css in my pull request, not 100% on where to put it, but div.content hr { margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; } @scottalanmiller #2 I have solved through jquery. I added a button to my forum which changes the body class. So my forum goes from [image: leQfEGY.png] to [image: 6PqmGFF.png]

Thanks a bunch!

@julian said: @ffmad You can modify the HTML by customising the template in the theme. The theme files are located in node_modules/nodebb-theme-vanilla and node_modules/nodebb-theme-lavender Best bet would be to fork the lavender theme and make your changes in a new theme for your site that's what i've done ^^ what i said is that it lacks the 'topic title' in lavender theme

Is there a simple way to make a simple recent posts ticker? Something maybe like this? http://www.creamsoda.co/showcase/ticker/ @julian

@psychobunny Well, since you mentioned it

@julian @psychobunny anyone?
