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

The 100’s of questions per day doesn’t phase me, but this is the reason why there is no SLA
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.
New OG:Image created, which will be the placeholder each time the link is shared on social media, or in other forums etc.
@phenomlab how can you set this up and make sure this is the picture that the social media website is picking?
@crazycells go to /admin/settings/general and then upload where it shows below
@phenomlab yeah, I use the same area…
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 OG variables are missing in the headers.

yeah, basically facebook does not post any pic, it is an empty image space…
how can we fix the problem you mentioned? is it fixable?
@crazycells Not sure there’s anything to fix. I’ve just tested it and got this
@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
