And, as an admittedly snarky aside, while you're tuning up your custom CSS, add this:

   .alert-window{
        bottom:60vh;
        right:40vw;
   }

So that the error and alert window is in the middle of the page and noticeable to your clientele. It's normal position at the bottom right used to cause me fits. By the time you had scanned the page to find it, it fades away.

But!!! An only slightly off topic question occurs to me.

Yesterday I used the newsletter plugin. I was frustrated by the formatting options of markdown (newsletter processes the content as a post). I wanted to use HTML to get a fancier look but, I don't really want to turn on HTML.

Does anyone have any thoughts about how to make it so that I can use HTML in a newsletter?

Upstart. NGINX. BASH Scripts to help me with various tasks.

@Cyb3r If it's working properly from localhost:port, then NodeBB isn't the problem. The installation paths are not going to matter either. NodeBB is serving the CSS, etc, itself. In my config, nginx has no idea where the files are coming from, just the port to which it passes the request.

That means that your nginx config is incorrect. So, post it and let's see what's going on.

Good luck.

Definitely use Sanitize HTML. It is extremely bad if you don't.

Another fun fact is that I am running more than one NodeBB instance.
