  • @jac one of reliability I think. I also use it but haven’t really paid that much attention to it as I’m not really into stats as such.

    @phenomlab I see mate. I thought it was showing wrong stats at first but it appears to keep you as if you’re online even if you’re not until it times out, this is the way NodeBB works I believe. 🙂

    @jac that’s correct. I don’t think it leverages the socket connection to see if a user is online or not, but relies on another mechanism. I seem to recall reading something similar on the NodeBB forums.

    Absolutely! no issue with it at all, doesn’t bother me and infact could potentially look to be a few online which could lead to further sign-ups if people see there’s activity.

    Maybe your are right 🙂

    Personally, it didn’t show the same thing on the number of users online.

    For example:

    On https://XXXXX.XXX/users?section=online indicates 7 users active

    and 5 users active displaying on the plugin Widget.

    I prefer real time information or same as users?section=online

    @downpw yes, that’s the disconnect I mentioned.

    @phenomlab Of course, but I don’t think there’s a fix to this. I mentioned the same thing over at the NodeBB forum months ago.

    @jac Not so much a lack of fix - more of a reluctance to provide one

    Exactly mate, if there’s enough complaining then maybe they’d do a fix or is there simply not one?

    @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.

    @Sampo2910 no problems. Happy to help. Just remember that this particular method isn’t the best in the sense that it may not get update notifications. The general recommendation here would be to move back to the official npm repo as soon as the GitHub version has been merged. For the meantime, it’ll work fine though.

    @DownPW the ‘js’ code for the banner takes the time from the client, so what it displays really depends on the regional settings for the operating system. I’ve not seen this issue myself but would like to see some examples of screenshots if possible.

    @riekmedia I’ve applied some new CSS to your site. Can you reload the page and try again ? For the record, this is what I added #footer { background: #2d343e; border-top: 4px solid #2d343e; font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 70px; padding: 80px 0 0; position: relative; clear: both; bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 0; z-index: 1000; margin-left: -15px; margin-right: -338px; } The /categories page seems a bit messed up, so looking at that currently EDIT - issued some override CSS in the CATEGORIES widget <!--- CSS fix for overspill on /categories page - DO NOT DELETE --> <style> #footer { margin-right: -45px; } </style> That should resolve the /categories issue.
