The logo looks fantastic!
@phenomlab nice logo. I loved it 
Pls share with us what kind of CSS and JS code should use for it thanks.
@cagatay The logo itself? It’s an image.
Logo itself its okey but which code i should use to shown it on my website.
@cagatay Not sure I follow here - can you elaborate a bit more?
What a cool redesign Mark! 
Well done my friend

Some further re-branding changes have been made in the about page - not sure if anyone has ever actually read this, but it does explain the mission well
good Mr.
I would like to know how you make static pages like that. It’s very nice
@DownPW it’s just standard html
yep but you use a plugin to do it or make HTLML file manually ? Where put you the file etc…
@DownPW I write all HTML manually. It’s inserted into page widgets created by nodebb-custom-pages
Ok, this might cause some bemusement and confusion, so apologies in advance. I’ve decided to change the logo again.
The answer here is relatively simple. It’s mostly because the more time wore on, the more I hated it’s overall look and feel. To me, it looked “cheap” and put together quickly without much consideration for the overall statement and services that this site offers.
Sure, it’s consistent with development, writing code, etc, but Sudonix has become so much more than just a support site for NodeBB. Admittedly, it’s still very much the main content of this site as it has never forgotten it’s roots, but I have ambition beyond NodeBB itself as the main topic focus. If you look at the services page, you’ll understand what I mean.
You can very easily see the justification here, and also notice that “Development” is only a portion of what Sudonix offers.
So, without any further interruptions, here’s the new logo
Good question. If you look, it’s simple once you understand. The round circle in the middle is you - the user of this service. The lines around (which look very Japanese, but it wasn’t intended) is a wrapper around you - meaning that all the services and facilities here are designed for, and accessible to you - effectively, you should be able to find everything you want here, and more. Someone else made the comment about a strange sort of Turkish Eye, but it’s not
Ultimately, it’s a symbol of “community”. Somewhere we can all co-exist and learn from each other.
The “complete” version of the logo, which incorporates text etc is below
Now, I personally think that looks “hot” (probably the orange colour…) - I might be wrong here, but it looks catchy (and not cheap). You’ll also notice the intentional division of the words “SUDO” and “NIX” - it’s always been pronounced soo-don-ix and that won’t change, but SUDO and NIX both have special meaning in the IT world as you probably know.
This is the logo, and it’s not going to change I also own the copyright for it, so it is protected at least where the jurisdiction extends to.
If you’d like to know where I got this logo from, it’s below.
The platform uses AI to generate suggestions for your logo. It’s not necessarily “cheap”, but not expensive either in my view, and you can amend it as many times as you like. The only thing I didn’t like was the lack of Google Fonts, so I used the .eps file and made my own version using the fonts I wanted rather than those I was forced to use.
I’d love to get feedback on the new logo!
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.

ha ha 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.
