@eileen you can use nodebb-plugin-customize to customize translations (which includes error messages). I think the one you're referring to is error:no-privileges

Apparently the last time there was this much snow in Toronto was 1951, back when "bulletin boards" were just things you stuck push-pins into. Times sure change! But one thing that won't change is our ongoing efforts to make NodeBB the best forum software out there.

Under the hood are tons of changes to improve NodeBB, but here are some of the bigger ones we wanted to highlight...

1. Not easily, as /login is hardcoded in a couple places in the codebase. To combat these types of attacks, we introduce a delay when logging in that somewhat matches the bcrypt runtime. You could always edit the codebase to increase the delay some more, but what I'd recommend is setting up spam-be-gone so these requests are curbed before it hits bcrypt.

2. Yes. bcrypt is processor intensive by design (that's what makes it so good as a password hashing algorithm, but I am no expert).

Customize how?

@gotwf said in Plugin idea: emailrep.io:

Which seems to be nodebb's approach in general w.r.t. stuff like this

In general, yes. We try to not muck around with existing installs too much, but plugins are a little more fast and loose with things like this. Will keep it in mind

@Fl4shBack51 what theme are you using? It is the latest version?

I think a better option is to save portions of the cache periodically or as they are created. Then if your server crashes or is killed you still get to keep it.

You could additionally use the database to persist the cache which would be more lightweight.

What are you trying to do?

How did you configure the load balancer? I know nothing about AWS but maybe I can still help.

When I visit your site through https I get a "this connection is untrusted" error meaning your TLS stuff is not set up correctly.

The reason for that Facebook error when accessing though http is that Facebook expects your site to be working from https only.

Did you reconfigure your reverse proxy to accept https? Do you have an https certificate? NodeBB doesn't handle TLS on its own.
