I just activated the feed plugin but the /feed page has no page title. Can I fix that by myself?

Edit: It actually has a page title, but just “| mydomain.com”. "Feed | mydomain.com” would be correct.

I'll be honest, this whole topic which is dominating NodeBB the past weeks pretty much passes me by and is probably not needed in my forum. I assume that the users of my forum simply want to have their own community in which only registered users can post. It would be downright overwhelming for them I guess.

Hence my question, will NodeBB be suitable for good old vBulletin forum feeling in the future if you don't want to use ActivityPub or have no use for it? Will this be a feature that can easily be turned on or off?

Please don't take this the wrong way, I am really grateful for this software and your daily efforts in development.

Nice update!

I've noticed that the Desktop users widget doesn't look like the mobile version. Mobile you have two in a row, Desktop is only one user per row (for me at least). If you want to display 10 or more online users the height of the widget would be unnecessary huge or?

Desktop:

Mobile:

Edit: I've just noticed that when you reload the page, two users are displayed in a row for a fraction of a second. I assume this has something to do with Flexbox?

Hi,

I am looking for a feature to handle moderation notes separately from user posts. Currently, admins/mods edit posts in their own way to include moderation messages, but I prefer a dedicated feature for this.

Details:

Separate Moderation Section:

• A distinct section for moderation notes, appended but clearly separate from the user's content.
• Example: A box or highlighted area at the top or bottom of the post or in the signature

Distinct Styling:

• Formatting options to make moderation notes stand out (different font, color, borders).

Admin Tools:

• Easy access for moderators to add, edit, or remove notes via a simple interface.

Possible benefits:

• Maintains original post integrity.
• Provides clear communication on moderation actions.
• Enhances user experience and transparency.

Thank you for considering this request.

Best regards
dave

@PitaJ thanks for the great explanation

Hi,

I have noticed that the number of hits changes, for example for individual visitors in the last week or the last month. Here are two screenshots that were taken within 24 hours. As you can see last week shows 4k less users than one day before. Can anyone explain this?

Is there anything against if I modify it and only use now or 5 minutes?

db.sortedSetCount('users:online', now - (meta.config.onlineCutoff * 60000), '+inf'),

@baris Thanks for the explanation! I just realized I named the wrong widget :D. I meant the forum stats widget, but I think that's obvious from the screenshot. I'm currently using the online user + forum stats widget. I thought that, for example, if the online user widget shows 6 users and the forum stats show 10 online users, it would be a total of 6 users + 4 guests.

Is this widget better to get a more accurate list of online users + guests? https://community.nodebb.org/topic/16280/nodebb-widget-board-stats-update

Could the ACP widget be used on normal pages?

Hi,

i'm quite sure I read a similar question here before but can't find the related topic or remember the answer. I notice that the number of active/online users differ between the online users widget and in the acp. Can someone explain this to me?

ACP:

Online users widget:

I love them. Tried one at the office and immediately ordered one for home. Especially after lunch or when getting tired it's a game changer for me. It often brings me back to focus to stand up and my back thanks me too.

Hi,

it seems that on mobile devices the fusion of topics doesn't seem to work well. I can't select another topic to fuse with. Also navigating to that other topic doesn't help. Is that a bug or something wrong on my end? v3.7.3

It would indeed be helpful to make the public chat rooms more present. At the moment it's unfortunately a dead feature in our forum. Maybe we don't have the use case, but it's definitely too hidden. The current situation is that users have to go to the chat overview and, with luck, discover the chats by chance.

Hi,

in our football forum we have a ticket exchange category. In the last time more and more users register and offer tickets with the first post. To get rid of scammers, we want to restrict access to this category.

I know that there is the rewards plugin, where I could configure to add users to an "access group", let's say when they reach 10 posts. The problem ist that already registered users with >=10 posts would have to be added manually to this group and I can only find an option to add users one by one. So for 335 users I would have to check every single profile for the post count and add the user to the access group.

Is there any way to handle this more efficient? Maybe a mongo call for all users if user post count >= 10 then add to group. And for all new users (or users that didn't write 10 posts yet) the plugin should do it's job right?

@baris Thank you! I hope it finds a way into core

@baris Cool! How do you calculate it? It doesn't seem to be based on most posts at the moment?

edit: I was just confused, of course the number of posts isn't recalculated for a topic if you filter monthly.

@crazycells said in Rethinking the Logic of Topic Popularity Ranking:

I agree with you, but I believe we do not need another term

A formular for hot topics could be

( [number of replies] * 50 + [number of views] ) * high factor / ( [current time] - [time of topic creation] )^1.5

@crazycells said in Rethinking the Logic of Topic Popularity Ranking:

When you click "popular", you wouldn't want to know the ranking of the topics that are created in the last week, you would rather want to know what the forum users were discussing... hence the ranking should be based on the number of posts that are posted under a topic, regardless when the topic was initially created...

I fully agree

+1

I had asked something similar here:
https://community.nodebb.org/topic/16907/respect-all-topics-when-filtering-by-popularity-and-by-date/3?_=1709240346566

I'm thinking of something like "Hot Topics", topics that has been most discussed in the past week for example.

This is an example of a Woltlab plugin showing latest activities, e.g. likes, wall posts, etc.. you could even answer/comment directly within the feed.

@The-SkyFoxx yes, this is exactly what I think of. But not only personal notifications but global. You could see who upvoted another users post for example or who else earned another badge. The page could be public for guests too.
