One other thing @approxinfinity can do is enable “drag and drop” image uploading, which NodeBB has bundled with every installation.
He needs to just register an “imgur” key, and whenever you drag and drop images into your post create/reply box, it will automatically get uploaded to imgur, no fuss, no muss.
Something to consider 
p.s. Drag 'n drop image uploading also handles the image embed syntax, too! Bonus!
Hey, NodeBB developer here.
The reason why it’s “favourite” is only because we are based out of Toronto, Canada. 
Old habits die hard, I guess.
At some point, we’ll create a “UK/Canadian English” language pack, and we’d remove the “english-isms” out of the default text, just to appease our friendly neighbours to the south.
Hey @Wishawk - that’s a great idea!
Re: topic ordering – you are correct. We order topics by “most recent activity first”, so topics that have high interest generally stay at the top. This is a format used by many other forums (by default, anyway), and is a good place to start.
Knowing that there is interest in alternative sorting (such as a straight “original post time, descending”) can give us the push to go ahead and create the feature. So kudos. We’ll keep it in mind
What about archiving inactive threads to clean it up just a bit?
@JayDocMD – good idea. I’ll think about creating a plugin that will auto-archive topics if inactive for a certain period (i.e. 30 days)
@approxinfinity Awesome job! I see you’re on v0.6.1 now? Stylisticlly, you’ll like v0.7.0 too, which is coming up in the near future.
How’s your redis usage looking? With 52.5k posts, that’s quite a lot of activity
@approxinfinity You should consider installing the “spam-be-gone” plugin.
For v0.5.7, you’ll want to install v0.2.52 of the spam-be-gone plugin

Thanks @approxinfinity!
The complete list (same as above, just hosted elsewhere), although I don’t have flag icons integrated yet.

Hey @wishawk – what sorting capability were you thinking of?
As for threaded v. flat – that’s not exactly a decision that we’d implement right away. We decided to go with a flat approach as a threaded approach has several disadvantages (more information here).
At a later date once NodeBB has come along a bit more, we may re-consider adding support for threaded discussions.
As it stands, it’s already hard to represent threaded discussions on a phone
