@phenomlab Agreed. Decent little android phone.
@JAC I also note that the Nothing community uses Flarum…

@phenomlab noticed this myself mate. Interesting - as you know I’ve always wanted to take the plunge back to Flarum.

I’d hate to be banned for talking about Flarum here
. Just kidding, I know your thoughts on it, but I can’t see past this sort of thriving community something I’m trying to achieve, but I can also see the issues it could pose and the drawbacks compared with NodeBB. -

@JAC It’s not the platform mate, it’s the content
And you’ll never banned for talking about anything here as long as it relates and resonates. Sudonix is vendor agnostic, as you know.Mark Cutting also advises organisations as a Fractional CIO, Fractional CISO and Executive Advisor, helping boards improve technology governance, cyber resilience and executive decision making.

No no, of course completely understand that. Let’s just say that Arsenal forum is jam packed with content then, it’s a good example of Flarum being used successfully.
Thank you Sir

@JAC I’ve forked this into it’s own topic, as I think it’s 100% worthy of a discussion - but I don’t want to derail the original thread

@phenomlab Thanks, apologies for that.
@JAC Not at all. Some of the best discussions are often borne out of others that aren’t related. I have no issue with it, and would like to continue this discussion here.

@phenomlab thanks pal.
Do I think NodeBB is the more rounded and comfortable forum community software 100%.
Do I think Flarum has potential, yes but as of now and possibly for some time it’s nowhere near the standard of NodeBB and what they can offer.
I think purely for a football related forum the layout of the threads of Flarum would maybe appeal to users, I suppose the lazy user who just wants the latest topics in a list

That’s how it works now under NodeBB though?

@phenomlab certainly the way I’ve got my forum set out is the homepage displays the categories.
Flarum is a simple layout in comparison but NodeBB is far superior, I mean do you remember the SEO options which I still believe hasn’t been fixed.

I found Flarum when I was looking for a forum software that was supposed to be different and more modern. One of the things that I didn’t like with Flarum is that you had to make sure and setup all of the php backend and make sure you had all the right extensions and then lack of ease of setting it up.
I did like the layout of it and the idea, but as time went on the things that Phenomlab pointed out made it so that I didn’t want to use it either. Which is too bad because I did like it. Then I checked out Nodebb and fell in love with it. Especially since you didn’t have to do any of the extra setup with php. JS just works right out of the box. I still haven’t made up my mind about having to recompile Nodebb after making some of the changes, as that can take a bit of time. But overall I like it a lot.
I would also consider using Nodebb in place of Wordpress as well. It seems to work well on this site to have blog posts and such.

It shouldn’t take long to recompile - typically around 10-15 seconds on reasonable hardware. You just execute

@phenomlab I usually end up doing it from the settings page in nodebb, so maybe that is why it seems to take awhile? Maybe if I did the recompile through the command line it doesn’t take as long? Or maybe it was in the way I had it setup before.

@Madchatthew I think the times are roughly the same to be honest?
