    On my site An annoying ‘n out of n’ banner comes over the reply button, and the forum bar is just below that
    So I can just see a fraction of the reply button but cant click it.
    I cant even screenshot it to show example now as that seems ‘disabled’ as a new ‘feature’

    Id like to stop screenshot disabled, and remove this ‘8 out of 8 banner’. Is that possible?

    I’ve just seen the duplicate post on NodeBB. Can you go to /admin/plugins/harmony and match the settings below then save

    That issue is caused by element positioning where the bottom bar should auto hide to prevent that issue. If that doesn’t work, disable the quick reply feature and see if that helps.

    @Panda NodeBB doesn’t disable the ability to take a screenshot. That’s at operating system level not application, so something else is stopping that.

    I’ll need a screenshot of sorts, or access to your forum to be able to see what’s going on.

    Thanks, can post now.
    I find it disconcerting that ‘out of the box settings’ dont work. If it wasnt for your help I would have broken forum now!
    Thats why sometimes I double post urgent questions on both forums as I appreciate your fast and accurate responses 🙂

    @Panda yes, for some reason, that is the case. If you need an urgent response, it’s probably better to post here because of the time difference.

    @cagatay The most reliable way to upgrade Node.js on Ubuntu depends on how you originally installed it. Method 1: Using NVM (Recommended) If you already use Node Version Manager (NVM), upgrading is simple. NVM allows you to keep both versions and switch between them if needed. Install Node 22: nvm install 22 Switch to Node 22: nvm use 22 Set it as your default: nvm alias default 22 Verify the change: node -v Method 2: Using NodeSource (PPA) If you installed Node.js via apt using the NodeSource repository, you need to update the repository script to point to the new version. Remove the old NodeSource list (optional but cleaner): sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list Download and run the NodeSource setup script for Node 22: curl -fsSL [https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x](https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x) | sudo -E bash - Install/Upgrade Node.js: sudo apt-get install -y nodejs Verify the installation: node -v Method 3: Using the ‘n’ Package If you have npm installed, you can use the n interactive manager. Clear the npm cache: sudo npm cache clean -f Install the ‘n’ helper: sudo npm install -g n Install Node 22: sudo n 22 Update your shell: hash -r Troubleshooting Permission Denied: If you see permission errors using Method 2 or 3, ensure you are using sudo. Path Issues: If node -v still shows version 20 after upgrading via NVM, restart your terminal or run source ~/.bashrc. Conflicts: Avoid mixing these methods. If you switch from apt to nvm, it is best to sudo apt remove nodejs first to avoid path conflicts.

    @willi@social.tchncs.de a VPS can be had from DigitalOcean or Vultr quite economically (although I know that isn’t always the case in some countries) You can also use our referral link for an account credit too!

    @cagatay Those are in /admin/extend/widgets/brand header. Look inside the HTML widget that is there, and you’ll find <div class="socialicons"> <a class="btn-ghost p-2" href="https://github.com/phenomlab" rel="noreferrer noopener"><i style="color: #333;background: #ffffff; width: 26px" class="fa fa-2x fa-github-square"></i></a> <a class="btn-ghost p-2" href="https://linkedin.com/in/phenomlab" rel="noreferrer noopener"><i style="color: #0077B5;background: #ffffff; width: 26px" class="fa fa-2x fa-brands fa-linkedin-square"></i></a> <a class="btn-ghost p-2" href="https://twitter.com/phenomlab" rel="noreferrer noopener"><i style="color: #1DA1F2;background: #ffffff; width: 26px" class="fa fa-2x fa-twitter-square"></i></a> <!-- <a class="btn-ghost p-2" href="https://www.facebook.com/sudonixtech" rel="noreferrer noopener"><i style="color: #4268B2;background: #ffffff; width: 26px" class="fa fa-2x fa-facebook-square"></i></a> --> </div> Remove that block and save.
