Oh gee, I was changing the other thing in chat. I changed this one now too.

What is considered a new user once they are validated and allowed to post?

Ok but I don't want any delay what so ever for registered users, even if new since we vet them first.

I have it set to 0. Would 120000 not mean a longer delay between being able to send messages?

I've gone to the admin chat settings and changed almost everything limiting users to 0 to prevent them from being blocked while posting.
Yet someone I'm chatting with who is just a user, not a mod or admin, keeps being blocked for (he says) up to two minutes at times.
Best if I show the settings I think.

What else could be preventing users from chatting/sending as often as they like?

For anyone coming across this,
It does not prompt or show what name to use.

During install;

Which database to use (mongo) postgres

Thank you. I'll look for documentation on doing it.

So you mean that mariab/mysql is not actually supported but PostgreSQL is?
Time to learn PostgreSQL is that's the case then.

Is there a way to use mariadb with nodebb?
If so, can an installed board be converted or is it best to rebuild from scratch using mysql?

Are there any known issues with creating child/using themes with 3.9.0?
I assume after a new update, themes are not always updated at the same time?

Figured it out. All good. Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.

Great, there is a way after all then, that's great to hear.
I assume a plugin and would there be any other components/plugins I would need to make this work?
Is there an official plugin that is a quick start to building a custom plugin or do I have to do it from scratch?

Would there be a way to build a custom search menu using drop downs for just one category?

In fact, what we want to do is to embed a grafana dashboard into that section to show data from another app that we have for the user. Grafana was using iframe but this latest update changes that to an API.

Can anyone offer a little insight on where we might get started on something like this, perhaps which page/s need to be modified, etc along with some idea of using a plugin for this which I assume is what we'll have to develop to survive upgrade. Any other tidbits of information would certainly be appreciated.
Would love to see if nodebb could be the solution for an upcoming project.

I basically am wondering if I could embed something else in that area, an iframe of another application.

Did I post this in the wrong place?

So is this something that's possible and should I be looking at developing a plugin?

Yes, cover picture/photo is what I mean I think. The two images you can put on top of your profile page. One is the small round icon and the other one is like your header on FB for example. Both seem to be called cover picture.

First, I realized immediately after posting that using a plugin IS the way to not break updating and depending on the updates, the plugin would have to be updated too.

Second, yes, poorly configured security could allow someone to clickjack but using X-frame and other headers is typically used to mitigate those kinds of problems.

I'm not sure what you're suggesting however. Are you saying it would be a bad idea to use an iframe in the way I'd like to or that it can be done, just have to be careful to use good security?

My interest is basically to try making our forums a more usable and interactive environment than simply support questions being answered. I'd love to use nodebb if possible.
