Yeah... that's a tough one...
I might do some concepts and post them here. -
Good luck tracking it down.

Getting the logo top-left is going to be big for any stand-alone community but if we can embed the forum into a website for many it won't matter as much. But still, the core audience wants that top-left logo no doubt.
Notifications didn't work the other day here either and seemed fine now.. a second good luck to @Julian in tracking that gremlin down
2 I agree but I think one of the issues is what width you view at. You're screenshot is showing easily double the empty space there. I'm using 1/2 a 27" monitors width for my web browsing right now and it's easily 2" less room there. I almost wonder if going 2 lines deep would help (and give that extra height for larger logos) provide enough space from a responsive standpoint to fit it all in.
4 Agree 100% -- The log out can drop down off the user name (maybe with the users link under it as well) and free up a ton of space in the middle. Maybe then on my narrower web view those social / donation / etc.. icons have the space needed..

ok no idea why my text size is blown out up there hahah
add to bug list? -
Looks like its markdown turning text into h elements after a #

It's changing

Not sure if it's the right place to talk about that, but how about the 12 boxes on the home page? Is that something permanent on NodeBB? Can you have more / less?
Sorry, I don't have an install yet. I just want to understand it a bit more...They are for the categories/forums.. Right in ACP you can change them, colorize them, add images, and add or remove them.

@OutlawedOffroad it just seems weird to have a fixed number, no?

There is no fixed number.. You can also edit the files to change the layout, size, etc

just in case you were curious

@maniacmusic has some pretty good ideas there. I too am currently brainstorming some ways to minimize on space while making it easier to use and not too confusing.

@psychobunny Cheers! It's just weird that most examples I've seen use the same number of boxes, then... I'm new to community management but I imagine, as your community grows, you might need more categories...

I have 20 categories atm!! I don't think we will need anymore (I hope)

I actually want LESS. I run enough forums already where there are 30-40 categories/subforums/etc. and it's a chore to maintain and organize.
That's why Tapatalk came to be, regular forums sucked on mobile, and needed an app to manage the clusterfuck.. NodeBB you can effectively surpass that entire concept, brand it all your own, and serve a mobile experience out of the box that dominates the apps available. Just my opinion, but we all have ouor own directions to take NodeBB.

haha yeah I hate tapatalk. I mean the software is great but its just a patch to fix something that should have been done right in the first place
