    @KnickKnack said in Deleted thread visible for all even if not allowed:

    the deleted threads appearing in the category listing

    Non-privileged users should just see "This topic is deleted!" or "This post is deleted!". Their position is kept because it is rather difficult to keep track of the topics/posts based on who can view the post and who cannot.

    @baris said in Choosing forum software - a couple of questions:

    There is no quick way to find threads that you took part in but you can watch topics or bookmark posts, or watch topics automatically when you reply to them.

    I see. But this way requires user action on each post and does not work on old posts. I could make it the default but that would make the normal usage of watching posts not very useful.

    So I hope it would be easy to write a plugin or some other extension which would add the "threads you took part in" link?

    Well, the sorting is handled via date or vote count, although the date is updated whenever a new post is made.

    @baris perhaps we can add in logic to sort by original post date too?

    I'm not 100% sure.

    I have "failed" to install NodeBB on a DigitalOcean Droplet about 25 times by now. Seriously, I'm not exaggerating. The people at DO must have wondered "wtf is this guy doing?" because I was creating and destroying Droplets non-stop for days.

    I think what made the difference for me this time was not installing redis or nodejs as per the official NodeBB install document. Instead, I only installed the Chris Lea files.

    I was so tired to trying different methods of installation I actually started keeping a log of what I was doing. I got it down to where only a few lines would change, and I am pretty sure this is what finally worked for me (remember, this is on a DO Droplet running Ubuntu 14.04 x64):

    add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/redis-server apt-get update apt-get install redis-server apt-get update apt-get install git apt-get install build-essential apt-get install imagemagick apt-get install python-software-properties add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade mkdir nodebb git clone git://github.com/designcreateplay/NodeBB.git nodebb cd nodebb npm install node app --setup
    - only modify first line where I enter my server's address http://your.server.ip.address (without the port) and hit 'Enter' for all other options node app
    - Now you can go to http://your.server.ip.address:4567 to see the forum

    I have try this but when i go to npm install
    i get this :
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

    PD.
    Got fixed with :

    apt-get remove --purge nodejs npm
    curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_5.x | sudo -E bash -
    apt-get install nodejs
