Yep.

With the viewcount, I found the topic in my database:

{
    "_id" : ObjectId("5b0e1c4390dcefcd0d0bd012"),
    "_key" : "topic:107",
    "viewcount" : 810
}

Then I deleted the document and it also disappeared from my category.

Yeah, no luck. The topic is still there.

One of my categories has the following topic:

When I try to delete it, I receive the following error:

In the HTML, the topic is shown with ID 0:

It feels like some user was about to post something and then the server restarted/crashed or whatever.

How do I delete this topic? I've searched for a _key: "topic:0", but there aren't any documents.

At least 10 seconds to restart NodeBB and more 10 seconds for my plugin to load some stuff from my database and do other startups. In the case below, I simply added a space in my subscribe2.tpl and saved it.

When I said "shutdown my server" and "starting it again" I meant locally, not production. So I'm not really worried about the impact to my users, but the development speed instead.

Sadly, this is still very slow. Thanks for the help though.

So I'm doing some changes to a custom page that I've got. Every time I change something, I need to do a nodebb rebuild in order to see my changes in effect.

Is there a way to disable this and force NodeBB to build the template every time it gets rendered? This way I could make changes to my .tpl file, save it, press F5 and I would see my changes in effect without having to shutdown my server, doing a nodebb rebuild and starting my server again.

I feel like I'm missing something...
