Logo looks amazing.
There is great utility in this site branching out, firstly because its trustable.
I have two colleagues who contracted developers, via upwork / fiver. They both ended up in similar situations:
Unfinished buggy code, after they had made staged payments the developers were less available to return and fix issues.
Then effectively being held over a barrel for any future changes.
Its an all too common predicament.And, on other end of spectrum, comparing sudonix to a well know code-help site, Ive found some Moderators to be intolerant there. They can close questions saying there are already answers, when they’re not exactly the same question.
So combining Trust factor and good Moderator attitudes here, this site is on right path.
One wonders if it hadnt been for googlebots slow indexing, it might be too busy … if the word got out this site is so helpful!
How will @phenomlab manage if there were 100s of technical questions a day?! -

Thanks for the very positive comments - they are much appreciated. The long-term idea is that I am not the only guru
and there are others well versed here (for example, @DownPW) who could also (and already do) offer assistance where they can. I really resent the likes of paywall based sites, and you are right in the sense that you are effectively being held to ransom.The 100’s of questions per day doesn’t phase me, but this is the reason why there is no SLA. I’ll handle all questions as they arrive

No prizes for guessing who that is…

Oula thank you for the compliment but I am far from being a guru but I help as soon as I can here.

Let’s not exaggerate.@DownPW I don’t see 100s of questions a day as an exageration actually. I’m personally grateful that this forum isn’t swamped, as its my go-to for NodeBB issues and its a vital part of NodeBB support.
It can be over-whelming when a site grows exponentially. I had that once with a Mastodon Server. Before I had chance to plan, my server was grinding to a halt and there were disputes between members, as admin I had to referee!
This brings up the topic of SEO and previously documented comments on NodeBB community that NodeBB forums don’t seem to get well indexed in google.
This is a whole area I’m not an expert on, but I help a few people with forums and anecdotally I see the ones on websitetoolbox get their posts indexed faster!I hear that getting sites indexed ‘for free’ is harder than it used to be.

Oups sorry, I’m talking about SLA.

This is true. Google won’t crawl your site if it considers it to be of low quality.

However, for example, Facebook always fails at showing this image, whereas we never have a problem with Twitter. I wonder if there is any solution for facebook to show this image as the preview.

@crazycells You get an error when you post on Facebook referencing your own site? My guess is that the
OGvariables are missing in the headers. -

@phenomlab yes, that is usually deceiving… I also see this as preview, I never see an empty image in the previews, but after it posts, it changes… this logo does not show up…
thanks for the info you gave, I need to transfer this info to our dev team
