  • @Hari thanks for the detailed post. The real issue with question and answer plugins in particular with WordPress is the fact that they are single page based. This means it’s difficult to make changes - especially to the URLs.

    The lack of ability to change the URL structure always was a show stopper for me, and in fairness, I never had a great experience (ever) with WordPress and SEO, so quickly abandoned that path.

    NodeBB for me has the best and fastest updating SEO.

    We’re in Exodus…! The boat you will find, you hang on and pray 🙏 for me i have disliked flarum so much, in such a way that i cant even visit my own domain. It has caused huge damage. Really big! And i feel like i wasted a whole year. And the feeling? People looking at you wasting your time. It’s so bad.

    I will visit my domain when i have fully installed my new software 😍… I found madway by the way he also quit flarum, we had lengthy chat drinking mushroom tea, i’ll invite him here one of these days

    @Sala i have enough experiences for forum software, used vbulletin, smf, xenforo, wp forum, flarum and my last station NodeBB. I had a blast and very happy. As for SEO also, my index time 3-4 hours after entered post for google.

    @Sala do invite madway here. I remember him also from the Flarum days. Flarum’s ecosystem is a money generating one which is why most of the development efforts these days is centralized around Blomstra.

    Whats up guys. Hows everyone doing?

    Agree with the situation. There is nothing worst that to have allot of discussions and later on realise that you picked the wrong platform. Not bashing Flarum, its not their fault. Like most, I should have realised that composer platforms are not for me. I think NodeBB is composer as well. Correct me if Im wrong. Any way, since I been bisy with my own thing, I completely lost track of whats out there? Any new forum or blog type platforms out there? Not Laravel of course.

    @MadWay NodeBB is actually NPM so not composer 👍

    @phenomlab not for free hosting I assume. There is no install.php or similar, If I remember. Does it have that option to have full first post display on front page i stead of just a title?

    @phenomlab He always arrives safe 😊

    @Hari i agree on that, url structure can be seo effective. I am going to work on WordPress this next week, remember you were able to bring down TTF to 200ms on flarum? 😄 , so let’s aim under that and play small load time and leave everything there and watch how will play out. At least this time we have a wider ground, and able to pay just anyone to work on the simpler worldwide code unlike some place 🤭 We looked like we were captives in some sense. You can’t do a minor change because the extension it’s used by everyone. Now we free d**n!

    If we all have something great, imagine how we can benefit on backlinks, and how will be so simple! Not forgetting phenomlab is good in security.

    @MadWay NodeBB is in fact based on NodeJS so doesn’t use PHP at all.

    bring down TTF to 200ms on flarum?

    I can’t see how this is achievable. At least I never managed to get below 600ms in most cases and this was on powerful hardware.

    @Sala it’s worth noting that making excessive changes chasing the holy grail of A+ for performance can actually have a negative impact on the overall experience. Because of this, I’d strongly recommend thoroughly testing each change in an incognito browser session to ensure the user experience isn’t impacted.

    @Sala was away from keys for a few weeks to visit TajMahal 😊

    try this! $5/ month but it is worth it.

    @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.

    @Panda said in NodeBB v4.0.0: the workings of World aren’t intuitive Its not easy to get World populating when a forum is new to it This is a good point and one I’ve considered also. It’s a little confusing to be honest.

    @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 ?
