I have the write api plugin installed as well as the question and answer plugin. We are successfully creating topics and posts. Is it possible to create a topic as a question? I tried adding isQuestion (equals 1) to the POST body when creating the topic but it was ignored. Would the write-api have to be forked and updated to support the optional value of isQuestion? It seems clear in the question and answer plugin that it doesn't create/expose any write api of its own.
Setup progress indicator makes questions unreadable

Hi,
Just as an info.
I just installed a NodeBB forum on Heroku and in the setup process the progress indicator was running endlessly and I was unable to read the followon questions.
I had to look into the source code to know how to set the admin user, email and password.The console output look like this:

@Steffen I had that on ubuntu yesterday when installing with 14.04, I could see the question, but typing the answer out didn't appear, just pressed enter when the info was right and it worked. To add, mine was those icons, but all on the same line, so it was spinning.

I've been getting that on Windows, super annoying. I'll make an issue for it: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/1653

I'm really frustrated by the new spinner, because it seems like it was implemented without proper testing or RFC at all. Though I suppose I can't get too angry, because that's how NodeBB develops
npm/npm#5340
closed new spinner is terrible UX #5340

Annoying UX. Thanks NPM.
