On my CryptoFR forum, a forum on cryptocurrencies in french, something unusual happened lately : a topic got answers after answers ... to finally reach a number of posts I've never seen on nodebb --> More than 5000 posts 
The best part ? The forum is not slowing down at all when you read it 
Congrats the NodeBB team for this great software. Everyday I have people telling me on the forum that it rocks, and it's true. 
@Jenkler let's encrypt, and it's easy

I just launched a new site built on nodebb that allows bitcoin bounties
Cool website, what template did you use ?
I've also done a Website about bitcoin and other coins, Altcoins, in french :
CryptoFR est la communauté francophone sur le Bitcoin, la blockchain et les crypto-monnaies.
there is already a little but active community 
A forum for crypto-currencies. I have changed a lot of the home theme & added the subcategories on home page.
I am also doing "sections" with css (:before). Could it be possible to do that with a plugin ?
This new version is gaining some traffic (with a max of +50 users online 1 day ago), it might become interesting if it become a highly used forum with +1000 users
Hi! I'm a long time user of NodeBB (since 2014) and my forum has seen a sharp rise in use this year (with the growing cryptocurrencies field)
(it's cryptofr.com)
I think you don't see that everywhere:
Yesterday we had an epic all-time high of 16 000 unique visitors 
It's really great but I see that the forum is getting slower and slower.
We are on a server with 8 GB Ram
Do you know of some possibilities to keep its rapidity ?

No worries but before I start diving into the coding I have to make sure that someone has successfully upgraded the "0.6.0" to a 0.7.x tree.
Also I feel like this part of wiki is written in Weirdish rathar than simple English:NodeBB’s upgrade path is designed so that upgrading between versions is straightforward. NodeBB will provide upgrade compatibility (via the --upgrade flag) between the latest version of a lower branch and the latest version of the higher branch. For example, if v0.2.2 is the latest version in the v0.2.x branch, you can switch to the v0.3.x branch and suffer no ill effects. Upgrading from v0.2.0 to v0.3.x is not supported, and NodeBB will warn you when attempting to upgrade that you are not upgrading cleanly.So according to that, "Upgrading from v0.2.0 to v0.3.x is not supported" and it means "You can't upgrade your v.0.6.0 to v0.7.x".
if yes, why the upgrade was 100% fine except updating the database schema, and if no, what's the point of "For example, if v0.2.2 is the latest version in the v0.2.x branch, you can switch to the v0.3.x branch and suffer no ill effects." ?
Now I'm just stuck in v0.6.0 and can't really do anything with my current installation.
i'm in the same situation, trying to upgrade to v0.7
I will tell you if it's successful
solved it ... by putting the code in an other template ... I still don't understand why, but it works

new version of the forum (with sub-categories new message, and other little things)
Yeah, blue notifications too, not very visible but i liked it :x
@WildPointer said:
So you mean you've got a problem with "old database schema" as well?
Yeah.
First i've installed redis 3.0
apt-get install software-properties-common add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/redis-server apt-get update apt-get install redis-server
But there is still a pb with database
15/6 15:58 [3067] - error: [upgrade] NodeBB upgrade could not complete, as your database schema is too far out of date.
15/6 15:58 [3067] - error: [upgrade] Please ensure that you did not skip any minor version upgrades.
15/6 15:58 [3067] - error: [upgrade] (e.g. v0.1.x directly to v0.3.x)

And use Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) .
Great Idea
@george_i said in Account hacked on my forum and top poster deleted ... what can I do ?:
@ffmad I'm new to NodeBB and I just want to make sure that is secure.
Be sure to set a limit of connection try per hour. Set a good password by default. Make people change their password.
You can do all that with NodeBB.
What happenned was my fault ...
@george_i said in Account hacked on my forum and top poster deleted ... what can I do ?:
Just curious, how did an user got your account?
that's the big question, I supposed he got my password by bruteforce, but even that is weird 
Hi,
Yesterday a user successfully got my account on my forum, and logged in and deleted the top posters and his messages. (including a topic with +10 000 messages ...)
Sadly the last backup is more than 1 month old, so I can't use it ... (now I know I should have a real backup every day at least -_-)
I would like to take some data from that save and put it back on the last version, what would you propose?
What can I put back without breaking anything ? 
@julian said in A world record in the NodeBB forums?:
That's awesome to hear! Love getting updates on CryptoFR
Not sure if it's a record, this thread has 79 thousand posts, although the majority of them were made before they used NodeBB
that's cool
what was their software before? PHPBB?

@pitaj said in Advices to scale NodeBB for a growing (big) number of visitors ?:
If you want to spend less money, Mongo is a wise choice with few drawbacks. Otherwise with added content you'll have to add more and more RAM for Redis to work.
I have no problem with investing more money, so I will stay with redis. Thanks for the advice 
(the good part of having invested in crypto in 2014)
My forum is still on redis only, is it a better idea to migrate to Mongo ?
