We highly recommend you stay up to date for the latest security fixes.
This looks more like a cacheing issue though. You can try running a rebuild and restart, that should reset the cache buster.
I am just saying how amazing NodeBB is. Well, maybe it is a combination of how amazing NodeBB, Node.js and redis is!
I haven't upgraded my production forum to v1.0.0
yet as I want to confirm that the plugins I use will work as expected. I decided to "clone" my forum to a dev forum and then do an upgrade to the dev forum first. I haven't gotten to the upgrade part yet but the cloning was very easy.
redis-copy localhost/0 localhost/1
tar cf - . | (cd /dev/forum/path; tar xvf -)
vim /dev/forum/path/config.json
/dev/forum/path/nodebb start
All is great at this point. My dev has the original content from production as well as a few new additions, that I've made, to confirm that production is still exactly how it should be.
Later I'll shut down DevNodeBB and attempt the upgrade from v0.9.4
to v1.0.0
Whew. Glad I went through this exercise. My upgrade has run into a hitch. See here if interested or if you are good with redis
