  • @marusaky Good to hear. Glad it went well.

    What VPS did you purchase, and where from ?

    @phenomlab I tried going with hetzner but I didn’t work well enough for me (no offence), and then I switched to ultahost.com, for the price and the support, they are online 24/7 which is good because I want to expand my project on a company that has great support any time and not just M - F from 9 am to 5 pm

    Just as a side note here @marusaky - you should consider some form of backup strategy for your site - particularly whilst you are developing it - and the MongoDB ability to recover is critical.

    thank you very much for the advice, at the moment the only thing I do is testing, but everything runs well, the only problem I found is that when I try to quote someone, or a reply the quote button it’s white and it’s not visible, do you know how can I change it’s color on every theme? thanks!

    .topic [component="post/parent"] {
        background-color: #464545;

    yes, but after that I was seeing that my nodebb installation was full of error, and then I have seen it, I had an older version “facepalm”, I reinstalled it again with the last version and now everything it’s working much better, thank you for your help!

    @marusaky That’s really easily done. I think the docs need updating for the latest release. Did you land up on the 18.x train ?

    @cagatay yes, that will be fine. Just watch for potential caching conflicts as you will have two sites writing to the one instance of iframely.

    @qwinter this particular site uses the code I wrote if you want to see it in action. It’s a information and intelligence gatherer I designed for collecting various information security articles from around the globe and consolidating them in one place. Essentially, each “post” is in fact generated by the script, and the NodeBB API. https://hostrisk.com/

    @Hari said in Flarum SEO is worst and i still want to use it : Flarum is coded in such a way where it tells spiders not to crawl any internal links by adding nofollow tag. How stupid this is Yes, I agree this doesn’t make any sense. If you compare to WordPress, then (via a plugin of course) you can set the attribute as you wish. It doesn’t make any sense to take a blanket approach. I guess I unerstand why they are doing this, but it’s not an optimum SEO methodology. @Hari said in Flarum SEO is worst and i still want to use it : For few minutes i thought i should register a domain called flarumSEOsucks.com They’d probably sue you for using the Flarum name in a URL

    @Galaxian hi, and welcome to Sudonix Can you check your config.json file and ensure that your forum URL doesn’t have a trailing backslash or forward slash in it ? This was the issue @Sampo2910 had.

    @jac said in Flarum: @phenomlab said in Flarum: @jac yes, but they are lacking severely in the sense that they still do not have a functional GDPR extension. In addition, Flarum uses PHP as it’s backend infrastructure meaning it’s going to be so much slower than NodeBB will ever be. Absolutely, I hope Node up their game . Certainly plugin wise anyway
