Okay, in that case, I'll just mention one of you (or make a pull request for the docs) about each question that should be added to the docs.
But you should make the FAQ page's existence more known.

Hmm, so I just found an interesting behavior that might be the cause.
It appears that NodeBB uses the websocket by default, but when the connection fails, it falls back to polling!
It does not appear to reconnect to the websocket after the failure. There's an easy way to see this - open up Chrome's dev tools on a NodeBB site, then kill your network connection.
It starts sending polling requests, and continues even after the connection is re-established!
Perhaps this is the reason that it gets "stuck" and has weird connectivity bugs?
Great, thanks @baris. How about /recent and /popular? I'm trying to make a private forum but it doesn't seem current core is conducive to that.
Edit: I realize that I can block guests from seeing posts by setting the access control parameters in the ACP, but I'd like to block the /recent and /popular (and all other) pages from guests just in case anything is missed, or at least blocking them access on principle.
