    Hi guys,

    I absolute want to migrate one of my forum to NodeBB but I'm looking for a theme which looks like a forum and not what it looks now like "latests posts" on the index page even if it doesn't look bad but not my cup of tea.

    Is there any theme which corresponds to my needs or a custom theme is the best solution in this case?

    I don't know if it exists but a vertical postbit looks awesome and what about another header because the one by default looks tiny?

    Thanks boys!

    @Mega as @Schamper said, I only discovered this last week, so we use require.parent.parent/etc for everything, but require.main works just as well.

    Keep in mind require.main's "scope" is app.js, so you'd have to do require.main.require('./src/groups.js'); if you want access to the groups lib.

    require.main will always be app.js for plugins, since plugins are only called by NodeBB.

    @Florian hast du den nodebb prozess am laufen?

    ./nodebb setup ./nodebb start

    nodebb arbeitet übrigens nicht mit port 80, sondern 4567

    du müsstest also hier schauen ob es läuft: http://62.141.39.60:4567

    It's a balancing act -- I honestly really want to help, but the more popular NodeBB gets, the more people need help, and that really comes at a time cost.

    So we really need people like yourself -- experienced NodeBB admins who can guide others to solutions. 🙂

    To lessen help/support work you really need great documentation and faq system which is searchable and brings back relevant results when searched. Then get into a habit of answering forum/support questions with answer + a link to the relevant documentation and faq resources each and every time you answer. This serves a purpose to condition users and lurking visitors into getting familiar with documentation and faq availability. Over time, end users will also help out other end users by answering the same questions with direct links to documentation and faq resources and you get end with a snowball effect 🙂

    I am a firm believer in answering common questions only once so documentation/faq links will capture that answer for all to use and reference.

    The hardest part is compiling that documentation and faq system entries as you go - on the fly adding to the system as new unique but commonly repeated questions pop up 😉

    Maybe make a nodeBB FAQ plugin to promote forum post/answer/replies to the FAQ plugin/display which can be edited for more appropriate format etc before final submission to an FAQ entry ?
