body.lights-out .fa.fa-fw.fa-comment-o{
color: white;
}
/Mobiel/
.navbar-default .navbar-toggle {
border-color: #fff;
}

In case, anyone wants to make the tags and pagination container dark as well, we have this addition to the code above:

body.lights-out .fa.fa-fw.fa-comment-o{
    color: white;
}

body.lights-out .category>ul>li .tag-list .tag {
    background-color: #404040;
}

body.lights-out .pagination a{
    color: #ffffff;
    background-color: #404040;
    border-color: #232323;
}
/*Mobiel*/
.navbar-default .navbar-toggle {
    border-color: #fff;
}

Edit: You can also add this for active page on the pagination

body.lights-out .page.active a{
    background-color: #848484;
}

@omega Thanks, somehow your code was always flexing the icon only... But I managed to get two column view with this CSS addition on persona theme: (on 1.12.2)

.category-children .category-children-item {
    float: left ;
    width: 20em ;
}

Thanks a lot, I got the em idea from you until then I was unsuccessfully trying with %

here is how it looks:

Yeşilkart Forum

Yeşilkart Forum Sitesine Hoşgeldiniz! Yeşilkart Forum, Amerika'daki Türklerin Bilgi ve Deneyim Paylaşma Noktası'dır. Yeşilkart (Greencard), Amerika'da Göçmenlik ve Amerika'da Yaşam ile ilgili konulara sitemizden ulaşabilirsiniz!

Hello,

First, I would like to thank all contributors to NodeBB, we love it. Since %80 of our users were using their mobile phones to reach us, we have switched from vbulletin to nodebb, and we are very happy about this.

I have a request but I am not sure if it is possible to do, since the idea came up more than several times in our forum, I wanted to carry the suggestion here.

We have a very friendly forum but sometimes some users are complaining that it is very addictive and they are spending too much time on the forum doing chit-chat etc. and ask for a feature of temporary account freeze (for a few weeks or a few months), we think this might be also useful option for students in their midterm or final exam times as well...

We have "delete your account" feature on, but of course we do not want them to delete their account for this purpose, later they will come back. We do not want to ban them temporarily since this is voluntary and there will be "banned" tag on them as if they did something wrong.

They want

• to have an option where they can pick the time window their account is frozen.
  (it could be fixed options such as several weeks to several months)
• a tag on their name or some indicator where it says "away until X time"
  (but they profile pictures or profiles will be still accessible )
• their entrance to forum will be blocked while account is frozen
  (no change of plan, but maybe admins can reverse this option in case)
• they cannot be tagged (if possible) or get any chat from anyone while their account is frozen
• no email digest or any notification until their account is on again
• and lastly a reminder email when their account is still on

and when they enter the forum, they would like to continue where they left off.

I hope it is possible.
Thanks.

@Koshy246 said in I’m a student and I want to create a NodeBB:

@crazycells yes it’s the server that Im looking for

maybe everyone in your group can chip in several bucks ?
we use digitalocean and pay $10 monthly for the server, but there is $5 monthly option as well.

How can I embed a YouTube live video on my forum?

I have just tried a link from youtube.com/live

iframely does the job... fyi...

@julian said in Voluntary temporary account freeze:

Hey there! That's a neat problem to have -- to have your users to addicted to the forum they voluntarily ask to be temp banned, basically

Reach out to us at sales@nodebb.org, this would be custom dev that we would probably not want in core (since it's not really something that appeals to everyone), but we'd be happy to build it out as a plugin for some fee.

Thanks, will do that...

@Koshy246 unfortunately, I do not know any free service. maybe others can direct you...

Although I set status "invisible", even when I enter forum incognito (as a guest) I can see my name and avatar on "Online Users" Box...

The same is correct for other invisible users, what I see as admin is the same as what I see as a guest....

But, when I click on avatar, it shows me as "offline" although avatar can be seen in "Online Users" Box...

@oplik0 almost in all I use... being a moderator is different issue

in facebook, they will not see you, what you post, cannot contact you, even in the groups (unless he/she or you are moderator/admin of the group). Even you are an admin, you can still not interact with him/her, you cannot tag or send message, but you can see what they write only because you are an admin.

in twitter, they will not see you, your content unless they specifically search for you, and also you will not see them naturally, there will not be any interaction between these two accounts...

so, in both of these, blocking works the way I say... Our forum is public, anyone -if searches- can see the content, but people usually enter the forum while logged in, so as long as both parties cannot see what they wrote, there should not be any interaction or clash between them...

unfortunately, I am not familiar with discord and reddit, you might be right on those...

We -in our forum- had impression that when user A blocks user B, A cannot see B's posts and B cannot see A's post... just like how it works on social media. However, apparently B still sees A's post and can reply it, when someone else quote these messages A can see what B wrote about him/her.

Unfortunately current situation does not solve the clash between users. There was another plugin in the forum which is not updated any more... "ignore users" plugin...

https://community.nodebb.org/topic/4543/nodebb-plugin-ignore-users-ignore-users-for-nodebb/1?_=1578089567983

I think currently, block user function has a bug, since it is not working the way most people anticipates... but if it is not a lot of work, my suggestion would be using something similar to "ignore user" function, where A ignores (or doesnot see) B's post, but B still sees A's post...

And another "block user" function, where A cannot see B's post, B cannot see A's post and therefore two people cannot interact...

Thanks a lot.

@Nicolas said in [nodebb-plugin-ns-embed] NS Embed:

Version 4.0.0

The new version is available.

• Added support for post preview of the embedded content
• Changed dependencies to comply with the most security updates
• Changed compatibility with NodeBB v1.13.x

Thanks for the update!

@Thrrp great plugin. Thanks a lot.

we have our forum installed at subfolder .com/forum/

but when users are clicked on it, plugin sends us to ".com/user/..." instead ".com/forum/user..."

Can you fix it? So, it will add subfolder name to the url...

Thanks.

Just Installed plugin, but noting show for night mode changes, please guide we need more step to implementation.

I think you should re-start the forum after installing the plugin.
But I guess plugin still has some bugs, you can use the codes above and add them to your custom CSS in Admin Control Panel. Feel free to change/add/delete any codes above according to your needs.

@julian said in username length problems:

@crazycells The maximum username length is governed by a field in the ACP. If SSO signs up users with longer usernames, then you could always adjust the value to match restrictions from the SSO.

That is already set in ACP; but apparently SSOs (it was facebook in this case) are letting usernames with more than set length.

I want this to be adjusted while users are signing up (by SSO asking user to shorten username), so we do not have to change their usernames later.

When people sign up using SSO, they can have username with longer than 16 characters, but when these users try to edit their profile they keep getting 'username too long' error...

Since they cannot edit their username afterwards, they should either get this error while signing up, or should be able to edit their profile without error.

Btw, this is not about 1.13, we still could not upgrade yet, we are still on 1.12.2 , fyi.

@scottalanmiller we have turned "post queue" on for this purpose.

Settings > Post > New User Restrictions

we have set the reputation threshold to 1 , so when a real person joins in we can just give him one upvote and he should be cleared. If not, then we either block or delete them.

I have requested from @baris to add post queue option only for the first post of new users, I believe he already added to the next version. So, wait for it

Additionally, we have Spam-Be-Gone plugin and using actively Re-Captcha by Google at the registration. This might also help to you.

We also have "StopForumSpam" and "Honeypot" keys in Spam-Be-Gone plugin... but I cannot tell 100% if they are acting or not...

Good luck!

Bug: The number of group members does not show correct numbers.

• We have 28 members in the first group, but it shows "-10"

• We have 8 members in the 2nd one, but it shows 9

• We have only 3 members in the 3rd one, but it shows 4 and it puts "..." as if there are more members to see...

These groups are based on "Rewards" system, so for example if you have either 500 posts or 500 reputation point you go into 1st one, when you have 1000 posts or reputation, it deletes you from the 1st one, and adds you to the 2nd one, and so on...

I do not know why forum shows wrong numbers but I have to say rewards system page in ACP also does not work perfectly, when you add a reward rule, the rule is doubled on page by itself, when you restart the forum the order changes, so you have to go through find the duplicates and delete etc. so, there is something funny going on there... I thought it might affect the count.

But this bug is not a functional error, it is just make up, it does not affect any group related usage so reward system works fine and if you click the group name, it shows members correctly. The problem is only on rewards page in ACP and also in the information on "......com/groups" page.

This is 3rd group, we have only 3 members in this group:
