Perhaps what is needed (at least on this site, dunno about others) is a separate category for polls. We could it the Trolling Station.
Filed Under: or maybe The Trolling Booth.

@twelvebaud I've just updated the readme with the correct URLs.
Went to site, entered the Konami Code, nothing happened. I am disappoint.

I... think this is built in? @ben_lubar?

- Sort posts by most votes
Again, doable but requires weird nosql-fu beyond my ken.
I saw that, but what if the user wants it even smaller? There's no user control as how big the image should be.

@dangeruss Help you do what?
Customizing, figuring out what plugins to install and building new ones mostly .
Here are some of the requests:
- A forum deals summary page with the top 5 hottest/popular posts in each category
- Enable the underline button in the editor
- Poster enabled expiration date for the thread (after which it's moved to a different category)
- Mirroring threads in multiple categories
- All of the text in quotes and multi quotes should be 100% visible at all times without having to click that little arrow in a box to read them.
- Controlling the size of uploaded images.
- Sort posts by most votes
- A custom skin to make it look more like the old forum

My bad. Still why would people want posts sorted by votes? And why is there no mechanism to sort topics by votes? Is it because the votes don't bubble up to the topic level?
Yes, votes are stored by post. Given this is WEBSCALE there's not really any easy way to query votes by topic.
Wouldn't it be possible to have a votes counter in the topic as well and update it every time? Or is that not webscaly enough?
Plus can't you sum up all the votes in a topic by adding up all the individual upvotes?
Having said that, I think the # of upvotes for the OP may suffice.

First question: How many unicorn workers are you willing to let your workers run?
I'm pretty sure I'm whooshing here
Web workers are served via unicorn, this process is capable of serving one request at a time, you should at least have one worker per CPU. You can increase this number in your template like so

@dangeruss @Jaloopa's screenshot is from the bottom of a single topic, for sorting posts. Your screenshot is from the bottom of a category or other topic list, for sorting topics.
I don't know if I would want to sort posts by votes, I would probably want them in chronological order.
Topics on the other hand, I do want sorted by votes.

So my favorite deal site fatwallet had announced that they are closing. I started a new community site phatwalletforums.com running nodebb and a few days later some of the charter members of the finance forum started their own site fragiledeal.com. I tried to warn them about the dangers of , but they seem determined, at least for now.
Anybody want to join me and maybe offer some help?
What are the dangers of using ? I know of none.

Misunderstanding on my part, then. Although in my defence you did say:

No, more like nobody thought of it. What would that even represent? Topic that has the most positivity?

@twelvebaud We let most of those domains lapse a few months back, intentionally.

@tsaukpaetra no, it was a carefully crafted post.

@pie_flavor bringing a 4GB VPS to its knees with a single carefully crafted post that was IIRC 32kb of text.
A password, right?

It means too many people think fake internetpointzzz mean anything at all.
