This plugin will work more like a referral system.
Hope you guys would have used in case of "Uber" Cab App.

Guys after using this forum software for past 2 months, now I feel there is some kind of built-in virality.
A lot of people coming from competitor forums to us!

@vatsal please help, @julian is talking tech stuff here!

Well due to this issue, when first url is not redirected, it gets indexed in search engine and after that old one results on 404 error page [ that is quite bad for any user ].

Let me explain the case:
User already created a topic and the moderator/ admin updates it; then the topic url is updated to new one.
And when we go to old url topic, it lands in 404 error, but, ideally old url should automatically get redirected to new url.
Need feedback on this...

@julian Thank you so much Julian!

@julian you always make me think twice!
You win on sorting!
I will explain it to team

@EisFrei Good read

@Technowix @julian I think it need optimization from our send.
Let me check with @vatsal

@Ted I am asking this feature for users who want sort the topics accordingly.

@hek my temporary work around is to generate sitemap manually and put on server at different url address; then submit it to search engines.
This can be done manually.

Used this to generate sitemap: http://www.web-site-map.com/xml_sitemap.php

Guys, I am wondering, did we test nodebb on different internet speed?
For example we are facing a lot of issue when people are using nodebb forum on 2G connected mobile/ tabs.

No doubt we started using nodebb because it is mobile first. Now having this issue on 2G network connections, make the users unhappy. Maybe we can put in some kind of smooth flow between the page loads/ new post creations, where the page takes time to load.

Guys, do we have feature to sort topics in a particularcategory?
In a category we want to sort topics according to date/ engagement/ popularity; I can't see any option for this!!

@julian @psychobunny hope to see some important update on this.
As this is quite important for drawing traffic from search engines.

Got the solution.

The option is available under Manage > Categories > Options > Access Control > Search User > Privileges.

This is one of the issue I am facing, where I created a group called "Moderator" and we are not able to give any special permission to them like, editing the topic or deleting it.

In this case; the "Moderator" reverted back and asked "What special permission does he has other than general users?"

Any help on this?

@julian haha!
Now its not causing any issue.

btw we have upgraded our forum to latest version and it is quite smooth!

any idea, what is this error about;

Guys thank you so much for your reply.
Since I mostly look into Online Marketing Stuffs, that's why asked this question.
From our team @vatsal is taking care of tech., he would be happy to give feedback.

Yes, according to me maintaining a list of sitemap record is quite important for search engines.

Have a look at sitemap samples from here: http://www.amazon.com/robots.txt ; at the end of file sitemap location is given.
For large websites and forums .xml.gz format can be followed.

Currently I see there are only 63 latest urls that appear in /sitemap.xml file
How can i increase this number?

Guys I have this issue now:
I am getting continuous pings on app.dealstan.com/xmlrpc.php url; i.e. {nodebb setup}/xmlrpc.php location.

How to stop this? Any idea?

@a_5mith Thank you Smith for the information.
I am taking this to our #team discussion.
