@omega probably the 3.0.0 bug report thread

@phenomlab if I recall correctly, the original position of the thumbnail in Harmony was in place of the avatar, but it was moved due to negative feedback

Then you need to figure out how you installed MongoDB, and turn it on. That's all.

I can't help you any further because this is a configuration issue, and not with NodeBB itself. Not trying to be mean, I literally just can't help you because I don't know how you set up your server.

How did you install MongoDB?

What is the output of ls /etc/systemd/system/mon*? Perhaps there's a different way to administer MongoDB.

It sounds like MongoDB was installed but not enabled, so it is not turned on when the server is started.

Can you try running systemctl start mongod, and then type mongo again to verify that it is working?

If all's well, then systemctl enable mongod to have it set up to turn on automatically.

I think I know why NodeBB is so fast. Our internet is so shit we have to build lean backends otherwise we're old and grey by the time the page loads.

@phenomlab said in How fast is your broadband?:

@baris pretty much the same in the UK.

But do your ISPs do dumb things like call non-fiber internet "Fibe" to fool people into thinking they have fiber?

@brazzerstop still cheaper than Canada

@omega they do in the /recent and /unread pages, as there's sometimes need to select multiple topics.

@phenomlab tell me about it

Since I created this topic, my internet plan and price are unchanged $65 CAD for 60 Mbps.

@baris got a bit of a break, though. Our ISP got bought out by one of the large telecoms.

Mmm sounds like our camo proxy we use here for images.

I do think using that library is still worth it. The server-side component I think it helpful because then we can leverage caching to reduce noise to queried servers.

I have been fiddling with my own plugin today and hope to have something to demo soon

It's a race!!

@phenomlab so it seems like link-preview-js is also deprecated!

Only recently (31 March 2023), though, so I think perhaps if it still working fine, then NodeBB could take it over.

@phenomlab hehe that's exactly where I am at the moment. Just need to put it into a plugin and add some settings.

@omega the decision to separate the avatar and checkboxes was mine. It was done because clicking an avatar should always send you to a user profile. To turn it into a checkbox for some users and not others is confusing.

@phenomlab canonical url as defined in the meta tag is still .com?

A 301 redirect should instruct Google to assign the seo score to the new url, so that should be ok?

If it shows errors on the old URLs that might be OK insomuch that the new url is already indexed properly?

May need to confirm with webmaster tools, etc.

@phenomlab ah, well, then it's a good thing I use

https://www.npmjs.com/package/link-preview-js

@phenomlab well, it's a start, and there's a lot to do before I can actually publish, but the work is coming along

I did end up using link-preview-js, so I stood up this proof-of-concept this afternoon.
