NodeBB vs Flarum for a non developer

[marusaky]

@phenomlab hey, thanks for the reply… yeah I was thinking too that nodebb it’s the better choice, can you please give me the link to your donate page? I will be interested in purchasing a vps, and it’s better to install nodebb on ubuntu or linux? thanks!

@marusaky hi. Donate page is here

It’s always best to use a Linux backed VPS. Windows sucks.

[marusaky]

@phenomlab thank you again, I went by your words and purchased a vps, what can I say NodeBB it’s beyond Flarum on all aspects, and for anyone who would like to have a simple forum with not so many functions I recommend Flarum, but if you want a lot of things I will surely recommend NodeBB and @phenomlab advices

[phenomlab]

@marusaky Good to hear. Glad it went well.

What VPS did you purchase, and where from ?

[marusaky]

@phenomlab I tried going with hetzner but I didn’t work well enough for me (no offence), and then I switched to ultahost.com, for the price and the support, they are online 24/7 which is good because I want to expand my project on a company that has great support any time and not just M - F from 9 am to 5 pm

[phenomlab]

@marusaky None taken ! Glad you’ve found a host that works for you.

Just as a side note here @marusaky - you should consider some form of backup strategy for your site - particularly whilst you are developing it - and the MongoDB ability to recover is critical.

thank you very much for the advice, at the moment the only thing I do is testing, but everything runs well, the only problem I found is that when I try to quote someone, or a reply the quote button it’s white and it’s not visible, do you know how can I change it’s color on every theme? thanks!

[phenomlab]

@marusaky Can you send me a URL so I can have a look ?

@marusaky Registered. Can you send me a screenshot of the issue ?

@marusaky Add this to your custom CSS

.topic [component="post/parent"] {
    background-color: #464545;
}

Am curious - did this work as needed ?

yes, but after that I was seeing that my nodebb installation was full of error, and then I have seen it, I had an older version “facepalm”, I reinstalled it again with the last version and now everything it’s working much better, thank you for your help!

[phenomlab]

@marusaky That’s really easily done. I think the docs need updating for the latest release. Did you land up on the 18.x train ?
