Can Admin 'verify' a user if email not confirmed?
I have section on nodebb forum that can only be viewed by verified users. If email is not going through, so they cant self-validate, can I as Admin verify them?

Great, can you explain best way to access topic hash and remove it please?

Is there a way to edit the database so move field is cleared? I moved some of my forums initial posts a long time ago and dont need the moved arrow or the 'moved from xyz' against them now.

@julian yes I never expected it so function on Mastodon, of course not. but when putting that symbol combination into Mastodon post, and sending it to nodebb you would think it would trigger nodebb side. Actally its hard to understand how it doesnt activate spoiler on nodebb side, given its the same 2 characters. Im more perplexed, than bothered, that it doesnt!

In Federated messages, the !> doesnt work even between nodebb instances that have the plugin. Not a big issue but its actually interesting that it doesnt work. For example here a mastodon site sends that code in a post to a nobebb site that has spoilers installed, when it displays the post why isnt the Functionality triggered?



Is the word Spoiler hardcoded? How to change if I want it to say Answer, for example?
Also if my spoiler has 2 lines how to put page break in E.g. >! Line1 Line2
To come out Line1 Line2

Thanks @baris , could this be added to ACP extend so I can install without needing server access?

How to put hidden 'spoiler' text in a post
Im doing some education material on a nodebb forum, where want the answer hidden until its clicked. I think its possible in HTML, as saw spolier somewhere before?
So to have something like Why did the chicken cross the road Answer When Answer is clicked it changes to To get to the other side
How to enter this?

This looks good. Just my thoughts on Lemmy, I have various issues with it not federating well to various site at times. I mention this only if you encounter testing issues with Lemmy, more likely the issue is their side. It has some good features but its frustrating as the instance I use appears to have bugs!

What is the most likely acid-base disturbance?
A) Metabolic acidosis B) Respiratory acidosis C) Respiratory alkalosis D) Metabolic alkalosis E) Mixed acidosis

The search worked.

How are your userbase going to connect? Is it over a Local Network or something? Interesting concept to use nodebb in an offline mode!

Just to say there are a lot of things NodeBB is getting right, in comparison to other Federated sites. Mastodon is ok in some respects but when replies to threads come through, the response appears in the feed alone and out of context! Nodebb shows the whole thread in World, which is far better for following the discussion. As for Lemmy, not sure if the instance Im on is updated to latest version, but some things dont work well. @Julian I only heard about Lemmy via you .. (Sometimes I wish Id never gone there lol) It is good for searching, but its been problematic in other areas. Do you know who codes Lemmy and do they visit here, or is it someone in your federation network?
And, as for Threads, I thought that was going to be Fediverse compatible? I turned the Federate setting on but no messages I tried were ever sent or received! ?

@julian I have upgraded to v4.2, but the world posts with no details came in before upgrade. So it looks like its fixed :)

Theres improvement, more in my World now on the tags Im following, but posts say by 'Guest'. When Im looking at the same thing from Lemmy there is more detail?
Edit these posts were ones that arrived before the upgrade to v4.2

If a site has a 'niche' theme and you want to find people with likeminded interests out in the Fediverse, the searching would be useful. Correct me if I am wrong, but Mastodon doesn't seem to have categories, Ive only seen it on Lemmy. In a way a category on Lemmy is like a nodebb instance, as most nodebb instances are for a certain area. So one might argue that posting on a particular nodebb forum is akin to posting on a Lemmy category?

My first experience with Federation was with Calckey, (fork of Miskey.) I liked some things about it, but there were forks of forks and I never knew in the end which variant of it was best to use :)

It happened earlier today, but now its ok. .. I will do some more testing to determine when its an issue
Edit: Seems to be working fine. Maybe I was in low signal area when it didnt earlier

Edit: no problem with posted messages showing now

Strange Follow request difference


I followed mander@medicine.xyz from my account on this instance, and another nodebb instance. This one shows Following, the other shows pending! Follows dont need acceptance do they, why the difference?


Also, why a settings icon only on my nodebb instance?!

Theme confusion


My nodebb website doesnt look like this one. (no boxes along top showing recent posts etc)
I figured my default install Theme must not be Harmony (which is this one right?)
I went to ACP > Themes and I was surprised to see both Harmony and Persona listed as 'the default' and the forum is supposedly on Harmony already. So why dont I get the boxes at the top?


World Boost
Previously discussed, it takes a while to follow a set of people who might post on the topic of your forum. Having done that, and got an interesting World feed, its a shame that isnt available to new users
Suggestion, World category has MyWorld, and World tabs Where World follows Admins followings, and MyWorld shows post from the users followings
Hence new users get access to a World feed which is already populated. It would make the most of this feature, that is completely empty for new users, who probably wont have any idea how to start getting posts in there
