Here's a concept that I wanted to work on for an upcoming forum I am working on. Sadly I doubt I'll have time, but wanted to at least show it here for inspiration for anyone who's interested.

I generally like the look and feel of NodeBB but I wanted something a little more dark but also modern (which usually doesn't go hand in hand) for this theme. There's nothing special really in this theme in terms of added functionality.

It has the basic categories and their description. The avatars are the users who've posted there most recently. I had an idea that when you mouseover their avatar it would give a little snippet of what they said, and give the option to view user or view their post specifically.

Other than that, it's pretty basic. Thought I'd share.

I've only been using it for a day or so, but the one template was already so close to a website design that I was using that it required minimal modifications.

It's very rare you can see something new in the forum space that calls itself minimal but then doesn't compromise on almost everything that makes a forum a forum (I'm looking at you moot). I love what you guys have done here and I can't wait to see it progress.

On a side note, I've got to be the first World of Warcraft raiding guild that is running anything based on node.js. Cause that's just how fucking hardcore we are.

Keep it up guys - proving that once again everything that comes out of Canada is kick ass.

@baris we get faster service here than at McDonalds. Jeeze.

Confirmed that the fix works fine. Thanks again.

In the interest of not hammering people with emails every time something happens, I think a daily email is better, but perhaps an exception could be made for chat messages.

I think it may be better to leave the e-mail threshold up the user. Let them choose if they're e-mailed every time something happens, every time xx amount of things happen, or daily, weekly, etc. Though it would be nice for a "priority" mode so if you send a message or chat to someone it will definitely fire them an email as some users may not check forums every day when someone is trying to get ahold of them for one reason or another. Something worth thinking about maybe.

Just an idea.

That is all. Continue on.

For what it's worth, though it is not markdown - this is one of my favourites to work with lately:

Any plan on adding the ability to create custom profile fields? Or is the intention to allow users to do it via plugins?

@julian you better believe I downvoted you.

@julian sure blame me the second I log back in after a year.

It's late and I'm probably just not thinking clearly but is it possible to have an entire category listing be hidden to registered users except for a single post?

Alternatively - is it possible to show a block of text above a specific category when a user goes into it? Though I imagine if you have listing disabled they won't be able to get into the forum to even write a post there.. Hmmnn.

Essentially I want a forum that no one but a specific user class has access to list and see what is inside, but any registered user can actually post to that forum (if that makes sense).

I just forward requests to 80 to port 4567 with iptables.

@julian I always lurk, just never log in.

Anyone know if something was changed that would cause that error?

Updated to latest tonight and getting an error again. @baris was anything changed?

@baris Thank you.

@Ted All permissions are fine in that regard.
