I just installed it with 0.9.3 and it doesn't appear to work. It never created an es index, but search results were still coming back.

Ok, I got it. thx.

I don't see the purpose of groups besides being an Admin. I have 0.9.x running right now and when I create a new group, I don't see how to change permissions for them, so it doesn't seem to serve a purpose.

Why would I join a specific group on this forum? What are the advantages of being a member of 3rd Party Developers, for example..

NodeBB Community

A community to talk about development and ask questions about NodeBB modern forum software

NodeBB Community (community.nodebb.org)

What am I missing?

Thanks

I have a huge database of posts in json format that I want to migrate over to Nodebb. What's the easiest way to import a bunch of posts?

The following tests give a pretty good example of doing it, except it's pointing to a mock database.
https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/master/tests/topics.js

How would I go about doing the same for real?

Thanks
