    Would be nice to be able to draft topics and save them without publishing them.

    Currently if you don't discard a post/topic you can access it even after logging out, closing browser, etc. by clicking "New Topic" or "Reply" at the same category/topic again.

    +1 for some kind of management therefor the user knows where drafts are saved (a private list within profile) and possibility to create multiple drafts would be nice.
    Also a Draft-button that just removes the topic from taskbar and a list of drafts besides "New Topic" and "Reply" could prevent some confusion...

    I'd basically say this is something for a plugin 😉

    I think at the very least, if I were to start typing up a reply and lets say my browser crashes (or I revisit the site for whatever reason) the taskbar should appear right away with my draft composer minimized. For bonus points, some indicator of some sort showing that it's a draft post would be cool too 🙂

    @frissdiegurke The whole drafts feature as-is at the moment is to combat losing your progress in the event of a browser crash or errant keystroke.

    Re: @psychobunny's comment, I'd definitely be in favour of re-opening composers (minimized) of any open drafts...

    @pichalite said in Topic Alerts:

    @dangeruss you can create a plugin to achieve that functionality.

    Thanks, can you give me some pointers? Like which functions I would call and what hooks I should implement?

    @julian No, no, no!! Hashtags are for IRC channels! Always have been. On the 'net, anyways.... 😜

    I have thought about the tagging thing on and off a few times over the course of using NodeBB. At first I missed the absence of tagging individual posts. Figuring that the NodeBB crew were smarter than the average bears, I figured they must have some reason or another figured for omitting such. Alas, the only thing I could figure was "tag pollution". Kind of like too many chefs spoil the broth kind of deal, too many tags, and perhaps ensuing gamification thereof by those desperate for attention/upvotes could result in them becoming essentially useless. Herding cats, entropy always increases, etc. Substitute whatever analogy floats yer' boats.

    Forums excel at promoting long running, in depth conversations. Too many distractions are deriguer for the "ADD Generation". Hence, while I can see how hashtags would be an asset for something like Twitter, I wonder about posts wh/actually contain some meat, rather than just a bunch of "me too's" pointing to various other "me too's". Hmm...

    So we should ask ourselves; "What purpose do tags actually serve? What itch do they scratch?". I think not many, actually, other than one: A quick substitute for lame and/or non existent search functionality. Maybe another side benefit for the lazy would be that tags are amenable to "clickery" driven UI's. This revelation then begs the question of how many new things we might invent to solve "problems" supposedly already solved by other previously invented "solutions". And maybe, just maybe, rather than proliferating yet another new thang... we should focus on improving the original thang that was supposed to solve these issues: Search that works? And what would that look like?

    Hmm... just a bit of thought food here for inquiring minds.... 🤔

    P.S.; Not meaning to disparage anyone's efforts here but rather stimulate further discussion.

    Are there a plugin for these, or stock with NodeBB?

    How does one make it so that a moderator must approve a topic in order for the topic to become publicly view able?

    How can I set it up so that all new members posts must be approved before they are displayed? I figure that this will deter the spammers.

    This is related to an issue resolved earlier.

    We found that if a topic's posts contained images pointing to a relative path (e.g. ![test](1.jpg), NodeBB would attempt to load them, causing them to load the entire topic again (since the url is site.com/topic/123/1.jpg).

    To combat this, @baris restricted the URL so that the slug must be correct, otherwise the user is sent to 404.

    For lack of a better solution, this was the approach we took, so this seems to be the reason why you're running into this issue now.

    and @pichalite I do still get the following error in my logs when starting nodebb:

    5/9 03:20 [25455] - warn: [plugins/load] The following plugins may not be compatible with your version of NodeBB. This may cause unintended behaviour or crashing. In the event of an unresponsive NodeBB caused by this plugin, run ./nodebb reset -p PLUGINNAME to disable it.
