You may want to check some of the sites on this list as some don't work and haven't for a while now @psychobunny

@jtarjanyi I just updated the theme therefor the category-images should scale better and the full image is clickable you may update...

Thanks. what is the easiest way to update?

frissdiegurke

@jtarjanyi To update full NodeBB you may follow the wiki. So it's basically (relative to root-path of NodeBB) stopping the server, (back-up recommended as described in wiki), git pull, ./nodebb upgrade and start the server. To only update the theme npm install nodebb-theme-dark-rectangles should be enough...

I'm using NodeBB locally. I love it! I've been experimenting with the theming and just tinkering with stuff in my spare time. (easter egg)

Here's some examples:

I have no idea how you people come up with such great looks. :envy:

Did you migrate users from another forum software or is yours a completely new installation?

psychobunny

I'm impressed! Your forum has been on the radar past few days and its grown very quickly. I guess you had a community going from before?

Letting you guys know about a new NodeBB forum on the block! It is FPS Talk. It is all about First Person Shooters, and please don't mind our mess, we are still heavily under construction. Please join if you like FPS games or if you are a Gamer, we would love to have you!

The gaming community theme @psychobunny made would be nice for your community.

@trevor Yessir! I talked to @psychobunny about it he said it will be ready for primetime when .0.4.0 is released. Fingers crossed that will be soon!

Completely new installation.

We did not, but the people participating are escapees from another forum / community that had gone into steep decline. So our uptake rate is really dramatic because of that. So we have a lot of the behaviour of being a new version of an existing forum, but also have the disadvantage of having the large forum in our industry competing for the same mindshare and community members.

Up over 6,000 posts now

@scottalanmiller Are you on Redis or MongoDB? If Redis -- hope you have lots of memory on your server

finid

@julian

are you trying to warn the rest of us that Redis is not the best DB to use for very active sites?

julian

Not at all -- we use redis on this forum, but you do have to realise that the speed of Redis comes at a cost, which is that everything is actively persisted in memory (and on disk, for backup purposes). As long as you have enough memory, you're good to go

We're passively looking into solutions for larger forums on Redis, as there really isn't a pressing need to have a 10 year old topic in active memory. So this will most likely be a non-issue soon.
