@psychobunny is a real superstar, but the community as a whole (users/developers) is real good one. Which is why I personally would stay with NodeBB over say Discourse, which I would say would be NodeBB's only real competitor.

Is it even possible to integrate a plug in that posts to a 'group'

I'm sure FB only allows posting to fan pages and walls.

That being said, I know you can do 'Canvas' app for NodeBB on FB, but this only integrates with FB notifiactions
On the Browser, where as you'll find most of the time they check FB via mobile. And FB mobile is not compatible with
Canvas or any external FB notifications.

So you are probably going to be disappointed with it's results.

Also, on that note. I've found it susccefull for mobile users, using a push notification app. That notifies users on events.
And when they are notified, it refers them back to your forum. via a webui Browser in the app.
This works great with a Responsive design or a dedicated mobile browser.

I actually Prefer the old version's home screen. I liked the way it looked and was more like a news paper and less like a forum.

As mentioned would be nice to have an easier way to quote someone.

Also, @psychobunny

Also, any idea on when nodebb 1.0 is released? and is there a road map?

What's difficult about copying a command 1 line at a time into ssh and pressing enter?

There is no one guide fits all. It's tough to account for server operating systems like Ubuntu and other distros.

I think you fail to understand what he's saying.

For someone new to this. especailly from the
"upload files via FTP,"
"create DB via MySql"
"go to url and press install buttom"
like phpbb, xenforo, vb, ipb, vanilla, mybb, Simple Machine. And more.

Comapred to the ease of that Nodebb is complicated.

They wont even not what command line is or Docker or SSH

Especially for windows users

The guides assume you know how git works or command line.

I know I for one 2 weeks ago. was in that situation.

long live adr..

I think i still have everysingle addon ever made.

I miss seteo blokes website, espeially the albums with chicks in it

I'm still a "Noob" myself in that sense. But i may make a tutorial for windows users, that takes them from that state, to a state where they meet the basic requirements for the tutorials listed.

I'm not developing with NodeBB, but it is the chosen BB I will when I finish my project.

I think they have made the best possible decision. Those other forums can be installed by a (Hosting provided) control panel without touching the command line at all. NodeBB runs on a completely different platform, they can't just make a cPanel installer afaik, which would be the best possible solution. So, they've done the next best thing and offered their own managed hosting.

There are significant reasons why people wouldn't leave their board for a manged hosting board. It's not exactly the same and literally would appeal to less then 1% of the thousands of users that use the other formats.
The reason they use those is mostly how cost effective they are, and the amount of control they have with it.
I don't think a cPanel installer is the answer, but a good tutorial that takes them slowley through the process that is from their site. with The dumped data to a new install on x host.

I'm not saying the documentation is fantastic though, it could definitely use some improvements. (Specifically, it relies on those single command line entries to work, and doesn't give you much to go on if something derps up.) BUT, it is still much better imo then other docs I've seen for other forums when doing a non-control panel install.

I've used all of those forums I mentioned and everyone has a very comprehensive easy to use install.
NodeBB needs a better one. But that isn't to say it should be left up to the NodeBB team.
It is a community software. The community could take some responsibility to compile a list/step by step guide on what to do.

I know I would rather NodeBB developers spend their time on NodeBB core not a tutorial.
