I don't know for sure what is going on but i have already tried 3 diferent themes and they all behave in a strange way.
So im in the homepage of the forum if i choose a category the topics display like this:

But if i reload the website the page is displayed properly like this:

If i go backward or forward the page doesnt disply properly, but if i reload the page it shows good.
This happens in every theme except the persona theme.

Hello everyone, i have been browsing around this site and i would really like to use it, but i have never used node.js.
I'm going to host the site over digitalocean using this tutorial http://burnaftercompiling.com/nodebb/setting-up-a-nodebb-forum-for-dummies/
Is there any other thing that i should have in mind before i continue?

Its working with no problems.

Inside this folder

/etc/nginx/conf.d/

Create a new file for the forum, like forum.conf
Now inside the new file paste this:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name bundlesbug.com/forum;
    location / {
        proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header   Host      $http_host;
        proxy_pass         http://127.0.0.1:4567;
    }
}

Don't forget to check the port for nodebb, in this example i used the default one.

Any way to fix this?

@Fastidious

Im not sure if it does that, but i think that this rule is called application request routing, and works the same way as a reverse proxy for what i can tell.

In the IIS manager, there is a option called URL rewrite, there you can add a new rule.
The inbound should be the ip with the port (default 4567) and the outbound the TLD or a subdomain.

Is anyone having this problem? I can't make this plugin work on my forum, i get this:

error: [meta/css] Could not minify LESS/CSS: './nodebb-plugin-soundcloud/style.css' wasn't found

Im using it too
http://recbug.com/

Ok i did ./nodebb reset plugins and its working, i guess its a problem with a plugin.
On the log above it says this:

Could not minify LESS/CSS: './nodebb-plugin-youtube/style.css' wasn't found
warn: [plugins/nodebb-plugin-mentions] In the event of an unresponsive NodeBB caused by this plugin, run ./nodebb reset plugin="nodebb-plugin-mentions". ```
Can the youtube or mentions plugin be the problem?

EDIT: im starting the plugins one by one and when i get to the youtube plugin i cant start back nodebb, how do i disable just the youtube plugin?
With the dev command it shows the same error as above for youtube, so should i unistall it from the acp and install it back again?

2EDIT: Manage to disable it, unistall it and install it back again and it works, but the size of the video is really small how do i increase it?

3EDIT: I guess it was a problem with the cache in my browser, thanks for the help @a_5mith .

I get this:
