Whenever I run my forums using the standard ./nodebb start, it pops up saying that nodebb cant connect. However, when I start the server in dev mode, the site connects just fine. I didn't see any errors in console or the log.

Hey, I was wondering if you guys are still working on making the responsivness of the forum better? Most pages on the actual forum look alright, but the dashboard seems a bit unfinished on some pages. For example, the table on the manage users page is completely cut off on small screens. Also are there any major UI changes coming soon?

@yariplus Ahh, I'm sorry I was reading some stuff wrong. I got confused. This should be very helpful then.

That is pretty interesting, but is there a way to reverse that? So a user can log in or create an account via the main website, instead of having to create a forums account in order to sync it with the main site?

Or maybe explain the easiest way to make a custom site and integrate that registration into NodeBB, or the other way around?

@julian Will NodeBB not work if I use Nginx as a reverse proxy?

Thanks for the replies, guys. I believe that saying Mongo is easier than working with MySQL is a matter of opinion. I find it much easier to work with MySQL, however I do understand the fact that it is easier to work with Mongo on Node specifically considering it is build with JS. All I really want to do is be able to sync user accounts between a few applications to prevent my users from having to create several accounts, or even the same account over again. The problem with Mongo comes in when I need to use MySQL because I have databases that store information gathered from Java apps. I suppose I will just have to suck it up and learn how to do authentication with Mongo so I can hook into NodeBB.

If it exists, any help or documentation to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. I haven't the slightest clue how to authenticate using Mongo.

Hi,
I don't know how possible it actually is to add MySQL functionality, but having it is a must for me. I use MySQL in nearly all of my Node apps. I have grown so accustomed to it that I didn't feel the need to keep researching into Mongo. Maybe that was a mistake on my part. I don't want to sound arrogant, but I feel like having a relational database option is a little important considering it is used more than 50% of the time. I am not saying that Mongo or Redis are bad options. I am just saying I think they are quick solutions to a very snazzy application :D. That said, it would probably take a good bit of rewriting to add this database functionality. However, if you guys are up for the task, it might have a better outcome. Plus, more options can't be a bad thing.

Again, I don't mean to seem needy or anything. Just suggesting a handy feature that could help out a loyal user

Ok, thank you very much!

To start, I just want to say that I absolutely love NodeBB. I have tried several times to develop forums on Node myself and failed. I want to start working on my own theme, but I need to change the template files a bit before I do, and this includes the copyright at the bottom. Just to be clear, I am still going to give NodeBB credit. There will be a link back, but I would like to customize it. That said, I have looked in the footer template file and can not find the copyright anywhere else. So any help would be greatly appreciated.
