Guys, please... NodeBB already looks amazing can we stop making it more amazing... Since I'm totally in love with the new profile page's
Edit: did you also brighten up the colors for online, away and such?

So I kinda got interested in finding out why we use NodeBB. And instead of silently spamming @AOKP on Steam on why he is using NodeBB. I figured why not ask it in public. So guys, why are you using NodeBB as your site's forum?

Congratz!

By default, reputation is enabled on new installations. Users are allowed to up and downvote, the required reputation to downvote can be set. Also there won't be a reputation field on the profile page if the user has 0 reputation. Once the user acquires reputation then it will be shown on the profile.

@psychobunny I... How... Did... Ehhh, crash course computer parts perhaps?

@psychobunny New widget system? Oh please tell us more!

I can actually stand behind this feature, seems like a great way to reduce spam from bots and toxic users.

I must say, its nice to see that NodeBB won't depend so much on outside resources by default.

So I wanted to write a little story of what I've been doing today, today after my work I went out on a site for second hand stuff, and found this old Dell PowerEdge 1850 for sale for 20 Eur, so I talked to the seller, he gave me his address and all. Everything smooth so far. Now! As I forgot I'm literally crazy and don't own a car. So how do I get a 1U rack server from place A to B. (7.7KM BTW) My original plan was to go get some climbing rope and carabiners I had at home, and then go on bike to the location. But as for everything I carefully plan out, nothing goes as plan.
By my surprise when I arrived at the location, I forgot the rope... "Shit!" I thought when I was ringing the doorbell of the office. Hoping I would figure something out I was slightly panicking to find something to strap down a ~20KG server.
Finally after I was done with talking to the seller and exhanged the money he asked me: "Sooo how did you get here" with my reply; "By... Bike..." The look on his face was amazing as I grabbed the server and put it back on my bike. "So you got something to strap it down?" he asked me. "Ehh about that", "Ye be right back, I'll have a look around"
After around 4 min of holding the server on the bike so it or the bike would not fall over he came back with a good 5 meters of CAT5E, so we strapped in the server on the back of my bike and I set off. Needless to say I had the most near accidents and people shouting at me for being a idiot... I've seen weirder stuff been carried on the back of bikes. But regardless now I got a second server to break, repair and collectively destroy :3

So the moral of this story? or rather morales:

1. Ethernet cables are damn strong and work near perfect for holding something (or someone)
2. Always, ALWAYS think ahead of your transport methods!
3. Always buy a electric bike!

You can do this by removing the guests group from the privileges page on the categories you want. See the screenshot below as a example.

Hmmm... Just a thought but why not build it in NodeBB as a plugin?

@psychobunny naming schemes, fun! Try user activity. For the design overhaul, keep the minimalistic. Try making 2-3 locations where the user is next to each other instead of throwing them all in a list, add some clear lines between all of those and I think it should look alot better

@pitaj I think for the same reason you can disable themes for users, To have a particular style for a website and not letting the user mess with it in case of bugs.

Oh my this also looks so amazing (Also 179 posts? Didn't even notice I'm going up so fast)

@a_5mith Its not like he does already

Edit: set it to 10, and @julian will have lovely conversations with his exotic fruits.

@frissdiegurke Me too but with a Steam controller. (Yes I'm a show off. ;))

Well, this is my first (active) Christmas with you people, one thing that I'm surprised of that after roughly 6-8 months following and posting on this forum is to see how supportive everyone is for each other. Cant wait to see what NodeBB and the community will achieve next . Have a nice new years day everyone!

All the major latest browsers are supported. Inc Microsoft's edge. Latest IE should work but who uses that

Lets go onto more horror stories, As some of you know I have a dedicated server in my house, since he I like a high power bill . While I was doing some maintenance on my server like cleaning out accumulated dust and so on. I decided to take a in the RAID cage. See if anything has gone in there. while working on the server I nearly tipped it over. But what was on top of them? 2 1TB HDD's in raid 0. (Yes... Raid 0, of all the things I could have chosen...) Both HDD's died, and currently have a older 2TB HDD in my server without any Raid. Lost some good data from those drives.
