NodeBB September 05, 2014, 09:52:53 am Interesting project I've just stumbled upon: http://www.nodebb.orgI guess it's a decent source for enhancement ideas...
Re: NodeBB Reply #1 – September 05, 2014, 10:17:24 am I personally don't like NodeBB. The index page is horrible and very hard to follow and you can't use it shared hosting.
Re: NodeBB Reply #2 – September 05, 2014, 10:21:25 am I never use shared hosting anyway.Yes, the default (desktop) design is somewhat horrible, but I'd assume changing it would not require much effort.
Re: NodeBB Reply #3 – September 05, 2014, 10:29:52 am But not allowing the software on shared hosting is what is going to hurt them in long run, since most people are still using shared hosting.

Re: NodeBB Reply #5 – September 05, 2014, 11:44:41 am For one that wants forum to work without javascript is a particular choice. Actually I was already taking inspiration from their board index for a way present boards.
Re: NodeBB Reply #7 – September 05, 2014, 11:56:16 am There can always be modifications later if one wants to customize according to their desire. It's no big deal anyway.

Re: NodeBB Reply #9 – September 08, 2014, 06:33:38 am Even the "traditional style" could sometimes need refinement. Responsive portal-like designs are trending.Not that trends were of any importance to me, personally.
Re: NodeBB Reply #10 – September 08, 2014, 07:05:05 am Yep as well.TBH, a while ago I was searching a topic where I said I don't like side bars to say that a side bar on the board index could replace pretty well the info center and make some informations more accessible.
Re: NodeBB Reply #11 – September 08, 2014, 07:13:56 am The problem with sidebars is that they appear at strange places if your screen is too small.
Re: NodeBB Reply #12 – September 09, 2014, 07:52:15 am I've used NodeBB a little as a member of some communities and although it has some nice ideas and interface, it felt really slow.
