The problem is that nodeBB, to my knowledge, isn't portable. At all. We've been up for a long time, and we may lose a lot of information if we try to 'port over, if that's even possible.

As for my problem, I need someone who knows nodeBB, period, for good or ill.

I mean - would it REALLY be a bad thing if some parts of the forum lose all their data and we never recover them?

@silverfox I'm still put out that WORA is gone and not even as archives.

There was some true gold in there.

Yes, since we'd be losing continuity. And it wouldn't be selective.

Ominous

@testament

Yeah, there were quite a few threads in the MU development sections that had some great ideas.

Arkandel

I upgraded us to the latest and greatest NodeBB v1.16.2 last night. There were... some issues. I think they have been resolved, but please let me and Gany know if anything new pops up.

I upgraded nodeBB to v1.18.5.

Please report any issues to your local cat-authorities.

THERE'S A NEW LINE ON THE LEFT AND I DON'T LIKE NEW THINGS RAR.

(Kidding obvi)

@derp I had that exact same reflex. HOW DARE CHANGE HAPPEN!

@derp

I don't like it either. CHANGE IS HARD.

I don't mind change, generally, but that line is absurdly distracting for some reason.

Also not a fan. At a quick prod, if people use something like Stylebot they should be able to remove it with:

.topic .posts.timeline .timeline-event, .topic .posts.timeline>[component=post] {
    border-left: 0;
}


.topic .posts.timeline [component=post]:last-child:after {
    width: 0;
}

If they want a little clearer division between posts they might also add something like

.topic .posts.timeline .timeline-event:not(:first-child), .topic .posts.timeline>[component=post]:not(:first-child) {
    border-top: 1px solid #375a7f;
}

...might want a different colour if they use a different skin than I do, though.

I like the line. It brings structure. Boundaries.

Respect the line.

Bless you.

Well, the line decides it. Let's migrate to new software. Without a line.

The line is a little irritating, but it could be useful. Since it's different colours for posts you haven't read yet... so you know where you're up to later.

silverfox

The little line is ESPECIALLY irritating on my phone though. Namely because it doesn't fully... work.

Wizz

I have no idea what line y'all are even talking about and now I keep second-guessing myself as to whether the lines I am looking at have been there the whole time or not.
