    I was observing this in our forum for a very long time. Since nodebb community forum does not have night mode installed, I was not able to check there. However, if I click the night mode here, it looks like everything (including boxes, writings, bars, avatars, icons etc) is shifted a little bit up… It is only several pixels I guess, but definitely I can feel a difference before/after…

    Do you observe this or am I hallucinating? 😵 🤔

  • @phenomlab good to hear that I am not alone… 😄

    I do not know the reason for sure yet, but I will report here if I can find a clue…

    @crazycells Should be fixed now. Was being caused by some missing margins (left and right) and an odd border: none; setting which should not have been there. If you alternate between the two now, it should look correct.

    @crazycells no, you’re not hallucinating. I’ve noticed this myself and need to fix it. I’m suspecting rogue padding or margin somewhere.

    body.lights-out {
    border: none;
    }

    @crazycells You should actually remove the border: none;

    how can I remove it?

    Should I edit the plugin and install the modified one?

    @crazycells hmm. Good point. I actually use my own version of the dark mode plugin, so not entirely sure. However, I think the CSS is probably the same. I’m not at my PC currently but can check and advise later.

    @Panda said in Nodebb design: One negative is not being so good for SEO as more Server side rendered forums, if web crawlers dont run the JS to read the forum. From recollection, Google and Bing have the capability to read and process JS, although it’s not in the same manner as a physical person will consume content on a page. It will be seen as plain text, but will be indexed. However, it’s important to note that Yandex and Baidu will not render JS, although seeing as Google has a 90% share of the content available on the web in terms of indexing, this isn’t something you’ll likely lose sleep over. @Panda said in Nodebb design: The “write api” is preferred for server-to-server interactions. This is mostly based around overall security - you won’t typically want a client machine changing database elements or altering data. This is why you have “client-side” which could be DOM manipulation etc, and “server-side” which performs more complex operations as it can communicate directly with the database whereas the client cannot (and if it can, then you have a serious security flaw). Reading from the API is perfectly acceptable on the client-side, but not being able to write. A paradigm here would be something like SNMP. This protocol exists as a UDP (UDP is very efficient, as it is “fire and forget” and does not wait for a response like TCP does) based service which reads performance data from a remote source, thus enabling an application to parse that data for use in a monitoring application. In all cases, SNMP access should be “RO” (Read Only) and not RW (Read Write). It is completely feasible to assume complete control over a firewall for example by having RW access to SNMP and then exposing it to the entire internet with a weak passphrase. You wouldn’t do it (at least, I hope you wouldn’t) and the same ethic applies to server-side rendering and the execution of commands.

    @crazycells yes, I’m aware of that. Need to fix EDIT- fixed. Caused by the same CSS that is used to absolutely position the “verified” group badge in the posts view. Amended this CSS so that is specifically targets the post stream as below li[component="post"] a[href*="/groups/verified"] { position: absolute !important; left: 8px; z-index: 2; margin-top: 1px; border-radius: 999px !important; line-height: 14px; display: block; height: 22px; margin-left: 0px !important; }
