@yariplus thanks. That has given me a ton of areas to research / grep and try out.

Guys, Have a quick question. Do tags have a timestamp on them in the backend? One of my new feature requirements is spotting trending tags and some sort of re-organisation of the tagging system to perhaps give people an alternative way to navigate the forum. Just curious...

This is fixed now, thats for reporting.

Agree, just have to get used to the differences between what you have in NodeBB and PHP temptate engines like Smarty and vBulletin's built in engine.

Tried on chrome, this is the result [image: 4A14bLy.png] The forum continues to work as normal, but ad doesn't appear EDIT: is causing some server side or client side rendering / blocking? More importantly, I'm not getting an issue like this. The only issue is that the sidebar is empty, for me

Sorry for necromancy but I have exactly the same problem as @shri to change sidebar bootstrap properties... With the latest nodebb version, do I need to do the same hack modifying directly the widget.js code ?

@kps - I suspect that is the issue. I don't have an active nodebb instance right now. In the middle of a few things. HOpefully resolve those issues and get back to nodebb over the weekend.

Can we get a block / ignore button on the chat function to filter out unwanted messages from selected users?

For 1 I would be inclined to use clustering then reverse proxy the subdomains to categories. Rather than spooling individual instances for each. I've done this at my own site. dnb.35hz.co.uk will take you to the electronic category. You could then make a few changes to how your homepage/main website looks and do it that way. As an additional. Anything you're not sure exists, drop an email to sales [at]nodebb.org and they may be able to create what you need.

It is taking me some time - mostly because I'm not familiar enough with NodeJS / NodeBB. Some observations: Took a while to get the ./nodebb setup routine to work - had to do it first for MongoDB and then for Redis and then combine the two files and restart (redis / mongodb nodejs files do not get installed on the npm install command). Then got stuck with launching multiple processes on reboot with systemd. Gave up on that and just used a crontab @ reboot line to run a shell script. Need to figure out how to restart / reload processes seamlessly. Found some issues with socket.io and spdy - did not investigate, disabled spdy on nginx. Found some issues with the 0.7.0 branch and upgraded to master 0.7.1 and found that much more stable. But these were plugin related - sections, adsense - dropped them both. Made the mistake of setting the production flag in the environment variable NODE_ENV. As of now, have a test site running persona, notifications plugins on a distributed setup - NFS / REDIS / MONGO DB on one server and a barebones NODEJS + NGINX/SSL on another. Seems stable for now on a test setup on https://devlib.org will give it a day or two while I play around with the templates / plugins and watch memory usage, before I go through another effort to set the autoscale / loadbalancer up. @baris @julian @psychobunny - I really like what I see so far. Well done. If all goes well with the setup / eval, I will be dropping you guys an email to see if I can fund some development.

Ignore this please. Seems to work now.
