The user object is user:32 so db.objects.find({_key: "user:32"}); should show the data if the user is not deleted.

Ok sorry @pitaj

... is this NodeBB related? or Node.js related?

@meetdilip Agreed, although some pesky Korean spam outfits tend to use a manual step (or maybe some outsourced CAPTCHA solver) to register and spam

@Adam-Poniatowski You'll want to build first, then restart

Locking this thread -- I've seen @Apple-Pro say negative things about NodeBB and upping Flarum (nothing wrong with that, you're entitled to your opinions) a month ago on social media.

Now that this thread happened, I'm not sure if there's something a bit more dubious involved.

If you are still interested in using NodeBB, please feel free to open a new conversation about the steps you took and where you got stuck, and we'd be happy to help as soon as we can. Thanks.

... as for someone new registering every minute... you may want to check them as they may be automated spambots

This is caused by the fix for https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/4507

@Adam-Poniatowski Prior to v1.4.x (or thereabouts)... NodeBB rebuilt all of the assets every time you started it up, but it also meant that startups could take 30+ seconds on slower servers

It's especially wasteful if you aren't actually compiling anything new, and your site is essentially down while this is happening. We made the decision to move the build step out of the startup phase, so it can be run while NodeBB is still running, and then NodeBB can just seamlessly restart in < 10s.

It does mean every time you activate, you have to rebuild as well. Just hit "restart" in the admin panel.

Yes, it's not exactly the best naming
