@pichalite ahhh got it, thanks :)

@terminetor1717 I dont get it, can you explain the difference? Arn't they the same thing?

If you are using the $5 Digital Ocean server you will definitely need a swap partition.

@adam-poniatowski negative, still the same, no menu :(

@terminetor1717 Under the category and the privlidges menu tick "moderate"

@teh_g ok thanks, i'll keep looking

@dangeruss Others may chime in but there is a windows version of the install instructions here however, they are out of date. If you are looking to develop, Ubuntu LTS is the most common/supported platform (ie recommended) and the docs are clear, concise and work as expected.

Ive limited experience using Docker and cant see any reference to it on the above website.

good luck

@teh_g Only thing is this

@lewis-belton your site is very slow and I tried to access the calender and it doesnt work. Maybe disable the plugins one at a time and see if it comes good. Remember to restart the forum after disabling each one.

@teh_g Yeah I did, still no menu any other suggestions?

thanks
