@jac Exactly. Hard point to argue.

@jac Good question. I raised something similar on the NodeBB community

May 11  /  Technical Support Default image when sharing topics/posts Default image when sharing topics/posts

Hi. I checked in the ACP, and there does not appear to be a setting for a placeholder image to be used when sharing a post or topic on social media. On Twitter (for example), the link is shared, but there is no default image. Did I miss something here ? T...

but, I never got a response 😠 - however, there is an OG image (Open Graph) which you can apply at

/admin/settings/general

Which (I think) should give you a default image (which you of course specify by uploading) for sharing on social media.

EDIT - on checking, this does indeed work. Once the image is applied, the Open Graph tags are present in each post - see below

Thanks very much mate, I’ll try this tomorrow.

Plenty more subtle changes, and some “under the hood” stuff to further enhance the experience. Just because you can’t see it, that doesn’t mean it’s not there 👍

@jac Not yet. Sorry. Still on my list, but take comfort in the fact that it’s 75% completed 🙂

Brilliant mate, can’t wait! 😁😁😁😁😁😁

@kurulumu-net CSS styling is now addressed and completed.

@jac This should do it

.widget-board-stats a { color: #ffc557; }

Many thanks pal, I’ll try this later when back in.

Worked an absolute treat as always!

Many thanks Mark! 😁

Thanks for reporting.

Thanks mate, not a problem 😁.

@kurulumu-net

But when the search feature works, the CPU immediately swells to 100% and the site dies.

That sounds very much like a MySQL issue to me. I’m aware that this is an existing issue in Flarum in relation to performance, and clearly, it’s still not fixed.

I had no idea that the NodeBB migration could be this expensive. Terrible

Yes, exactly that. To me, it would appear that I’d need to finance the development and subsequent build of any package, then they could resell the same thing to someone else without the need for any additional effort on their part = high profit margin. The issue I have with this model is that I’d foot the (somewhat huge) bill for what amounts to a minor upgrade for me, but quite the money spinner for NodeBB.

Here the link to that thread

@julian I've had a response back from sales, and I'm clearly in the wrong business here. Do you seriously want to charge me $8,500 - $10,000 to migrate a 600kb (when compressed) database???

@kurulumu-net Not specifically, but you should review this post from the very large thread as it will save you a lot of time. There’s significant customisation on the Ghost side of things, but not in NodeBB

@justoverclock yes, completely understand that. It’s a haven for criminal gangs and literally everything is on the table. Drugs, weapons, money laundering, cyber attacks for rent, and even murder for hire.

Nothing it seems is off limits. The dark web is truly a place where the only limitation is the amount you are prepared to spend.
