That sounds promising.

Thanks for your help. I will have to play around with the platform a bit. The last question is with deployment. I assume Node.JS gets front-ended by Nginx. Is that right?

I am not attached to BBCodes and would be glad to leave them to an era bygone. But when I post the links here, they don't embed any pictures or youtube video.

Testng:

Hmmm, so much for that.

Let's try Youtube:

Well, neither seem to embed anything, so it seems one still needs BBcodes. Or else this should work like Facebook where it embeds automatically.

I have an old forum website that is still running on phpBB. phpBB doesn't really seem to be evolving, 3.1 is coming out and seems like the same old stuff with no innovation. nodeBB looks real interesting, especially since I am a big Node.JS fan. But before i invest a bunch of work in learning this platform, I wanted to ask:

1. How easy is it to migrate from phpBB? The biggest concern I have is in preserving links so I don't kill the SEO URL mappings. I use the SEO mod for phpBB.

2. Is there support for BB codes so users can embed images from other sites or display youtube videos? I can't seem to find any functionality to do this on this forum.

3. I didn't see anything on this forum to allow me to login with Twitter or Facebook. Is there token-based SSO support here?
