    Hi,
    For my forum, I would like the Announcements channel to have posts only from me (the admin). What privileges do I need to tick and untick?

    Clear all of the select boxes. By default, administrators will get all permissions, but anyone else accessing will be view only.

    Thanks @phenomlab! If I ever what to reset to the original settings, is that possible after Save?
    Also, do you think my idea of restricting the Announcement section is a good idea? Is that what you would’ve done also?

    @mventures I do the same, so yes, good idea. There’s no reason as to why anyone needs to post there except admins (and perhaps mods)

    You can’t “reset” the permissions to default, but you can copy from another category that has the default permissions as shown below

    And save.

    Shouldn’t users be able to reply and vote on Admin topics though? Maybe, those need to stay ticked and all else unticked?

    @Sampo2910 search the forum here for ogproxy which is the client side version of that plugin I wrote. It’s in use here on this forum.

    @Panda said in NodeBB v4.0.0: the workings of World aren’t intuitive Its not easy to get World populating when a forum is new to it This is a good point and one I’ve considered also. It’s a little confusing to be honest.

    @Panda You should be able to expose the CSS for these using F12 to get into console [image: 3591518c-e3a3-4ada-a43c-6b32a5e0359c-image.png] [image: a2b8ed46-4157-4ff2-85f0-576543380107-image.png] That should then expose the element once selected [image: 89d9c545-a47a-40d1-98f4-80cf3b958e8f-image.png] Here’s the below CSS you need based on the screenshot provided. .composer .formatting-bar .formatting-group li[data-format="picture-o"], .composer .formatting-bar .formatting-group li[data-format="spoiler"] { display: none; }

    @DownPW sure. Let me have a look at this in more detail. I know nginx plus has extensive support for this, but it’s not impossible to get somewhere near acceptable with the standard version. You might be better off handling this at the Cloudflare level given that it sits in between the requesting client and your server.

    @phenomlab said in nodebb dropdown menu: @kurulumu-net You set it like the below example taken from this site [image: aae36790-3257-4bb2-ad5a-0d744309876a-image.png] Which presents this [image: 77f47260-2941-4afe-9614-8e17dcfc8c19-image.png] Very interesting… I actually thought this wasn’t possible, as I remember it being asked in the NodeBB forum. Is this something new that’s been implemented? I’ll 100% be doing that when I’m on the laptop over the weekend.
