Transitioning to NodeBB from legacy mailing list (Mailman)

General Discussion
  • A

    We are considering NodeBB as a replacement to our project mailing lists that are currently hosted by Mailman (also on Nabble).

    Is there a way to have a setup where messages sent to the mailing list would be also synchronized to the NodeBB forum? This would help us evaluate both in parallel, and support communities of users who prefer traditional mailing list.

    Does anyone has experience migrating legacy mailing list content to NodeBB? I know there are some forum migration plugins, but I did not see ones specifically for legacy mailing lists.

    Nothing like that unfortunately. But we do have an email responder plugin - you get an email on a new reply, and then you can reply directly to the email and it gets posted.

    Hi,

    In settings I have session time set for 14 days.
    But many users have a problem that they are being logged out every day.
    I also need to log in every single day.

    Where I can look for the issue ?

    Found the problem. it was the plugin nodebb-plugin-merge-subtopics

    It could load any category page with sub-categories in it.

    Maybe it's hepfull for somebody who has same problem 🙂

    I guess some backlash should be expected, new users won't suddenly come out of the woods, so you can only lose some of your active users in the first period after the conversion.

    But can we expect 5%? 20% 50% decrease in traffic? And what's to be expected of the situation a few weeks or even months after the conversion? We would move because we think users will stay engaged more with notifications, mentions, modern looks, better usability. We also expect new users to sign up in bigger numbers because this will be easier (SSO) and also because of the improved usability and better looks. But that's all theory so far.

    Some real life stories about conversions of big boards would be most welcome 🙂

    @julian: Yes, it depends. In the case of NodeBB they must have been quite good lines from what I've seen, and with excellent speed and performance. Thanks for your good work.

    Will offer my way of fixing.. probably something went wrong in the themes, aside from css, probably version mismatches with the core nodebb version your using. The below will revert to working vanilla and lavender theme versions that match w/ your core nodebb install version. (probably need to stick with whatever theme versions it reinstalls, because I've always had problems w/ updating themes, I don't upgrade them anymore) Stick with what came with the nodebb install originally. This will revert back to originals:

    ./nodebb stop (close nodebb) npm uninstall nodebb-theme-lavender npm uninstall nodebb-theme-vanilla npm install nodebb-theme-vanilla npm install nodebb-theme-lavender

    ./nodebb start. try avoid editing too much .less and .tpl in the theme files and stick as much as possible in the Custom css area in your ACP
