Has anyone tried to install Discourse under HeliconZoo? Right now I'm running it on my Windows server with HyperV and Ubuntu, but I would like to get away from that if possible.
I'm going to give it a shot, and I'll report back. However, if someone has already tried this please let me know so that I don't go and waste a few solid hours getting frustrated at Windows (because that never happens... 
).

Gmail has this cool thing where when you get a new email, a notification will pop up on your screen.
The Javascript API is documented in multiple places:
The W3C spec:
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/notifications/raw-file/tip/Overview.html
What's actually implemented in Chrome:
http://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/desktop-notifications/api-specification
Also, I found this 'experimental' Firefox addon to add support for them:https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/android-desktop-notif/
It is supported in Firefox: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAPI/Using_Web_Notifications
I think it would be cool if one of these happened whenever the number on the notification icon changes - i.e. before the email notification gets sent out. This lets me get notified 'more instantly' and even avoid the notification email if I want to go check out what it was.
In fact, as I was writing this, the number went from 0 to 1. It really would be nice to have these popups with their short descriptions of what it is

As a new user on Try Discourse, I bookmarked a post in the middle of a topic to read later, then opened Try Discourse on another computer and tried to return to that post. But I had a hard time locating the list of posts that I have bookmarked. I think the list should be moved, or have clearer links pointing to it.
On the original computer, I wanted to open a post with a YouTube video on another computer, since that didn’t have speakers. I clicked the bookmark icon in the bottom right of the post and confirmed by hovering that it was bookmarked. On the new computer, after arriving at the home page and logging in, I looked for the bookmark icon (the one represented by span.unread in code). I saw it next to Unread at the top, so I tried clicking that. But that list had nothing to do with my bookmarked posts; it just said that I had no unread topics. I went back to the home page and scrolled a bit down the page, but realized that there was no other controls further down that might link to bookmarks. Then I guessed that I might see my bookmarks by clicking the notifications speech balloon in the top right of the site. But the only thing listed there was the welcome mail from the admin. Finally, I tried clicking “view older notifications” in that pop-up panel. On the resulting Activity page, I finally saw Bookmarks listed on the left. I saw that I could click the bookmark in the All list, or click Bookmarks to filter the list to show only my bookmarks.
I don’t think the list of bookmarks belongs in the Activity section. An Activity log has an air of permanance about it. An action I did in the past is immutable. I can add a new event reversing something, but I can’t delete the original event. At least, that’s the way I understand the concept of Activity from Stack Exchange sites. However, bookmarks do not have that property. When you visit a post and un-bookmark it, the “bookmarked” action disappears, and the bookmarks section even disappears from the sidebar on the left.
What bookmarks do have in common with activities is that they happen at a specific time, and are often tied to a specific post. But their fundamental difference in permanence makes it too confusing for them to share a page with past actions.
I think the best solution would be to move the list of bookmarks to the Unread page, in a separate section of the page, since Bookmarks and Unread use the same icon, and are indicated by the same button on posts. The Unread section also contains a list of posts with times (I think; it’s hard to check), so bookmarks would fit right in. The Unread section doesn’t have any particular expectations of permananence or transitiveness, so bookmarks don’t clash with expectations in that way.
(I couldn’t check if someone posted about this already, because search doesn’t work for me anywhere. After I type search terms, the spinner just spins forever.)

I have a new user in the forum. I want them to be able to see most categories but not all. There is the option of having moderators and non-moderators but a more fine-grained approach would be better long term.
To do that, I did this:
Set the user to level 2 in the user dialog
Added a rule "trust_level_2" can see/edit/create topics to all categories I want them to see
However, when I log in as the user, they don't seem to be seeing any categories.
Is this not implemented yet? I understood from this that it should work.

It's obvious enough to me that discourse is better than a mailing list, but not everyone is convinced. Here's what someone said to my suggestion of having a discourse forum for the Rust programming language:
FYI, I've used a Discourse forum, and I've found it rather obnoxious.
Much prefer the PHPBB or OSQA approach.Mailing lists are, IMO, better (e.g., gpg works, attachments work,
direct messaging comes built in).
What would you say to that?

Continuing the discussion from Categories no longer showing counts - a bug?:
We deploy new versions of the site quite often that involve client side changes however fail to notify or refresh clients. This leads to all sorts of random and weird behavior. To resolve.
If you ever navigate from one page to another and we detect you have an old version of the site, fallback to a full page load.
If we detect you are running an old version of the site, show a message asking you to refresh (after a certain time buffer)

A user hits the forum, wants to jump in, then, of course, needs to register. Upon completing the registration, however, they are prompted to confirm their email before being able to do anything on the forum as a user, such as editing their profile.
I completely understand the reasons for this, however I think there is big value in being able to allow a user in immediately, with their email needing to be confirmed in, say, 24 hours. Having them leave the forum, swing over to their email, then back to the forum seems like an easy way to turn people off returning....I like the idea of letting them in right away, while we have their attention.
Any thoughts on how to go about implementing this?

I just added a couple of classes that allow you to override the way we lookup the current user. This is particularly important to people looking to integrate using cookie auth from a top level domain.
Essentially you can elect a provider for the current user functionality, to do so:
Implement a class that inherits off:
class Auth::CurrentUserProvider
# do all current user initialization here
def initialize(env)
raise NotImplementedError
end
# our current user, return nil if none is found
def current_user
raise NotImplementedError
end
# log on a user and set cookies and session etc.
def log_on_user(user,session,cookies)
raise NotImplementedError
end
# api has special rights return true if api was detected
def is_api?
raise NotImplementedError
end
# we may need to know very early on in the middleware if an auth token
# exists, to optimise caching
def has_auth_cookie?
raise NotImplementedError
end
def log_off_user(session, cookies)
raise NotImplementedError
end
endIf you just feel like extending the current behavior, inherit off Auth::DefaultCurrentUserProvider , this allow you to run special code when a user is logged on or off and so on.
To wire your own provider, run
Discourse.current_user_provider = MyCurrentUserProviderThis is way cleaner and more predictable than monkey patching.

My first real world interaction with Discourse has been on the Lockitron community site and it seems to have a lot of issue rendering. Specifically when replying to a topic it doesn't render/draw correctly unless I scroll around. I am using the same browser (Chrome) to compose this and everything is working great. Is there something wrong with there installation? Do they need to update to a newer version?
Is anybody else able to repro? Just try to reply to any topic and you should see the issue.

I don't think "owner" is the proper name, but I set up a forum for someone and now I am getting lots of people asking me questions because they see my username in the PM they get when they first sign in.
I have literally nothing to do with the forum other than initially setting it up and doing updates every now and again.
Is there a way to hand that message over to the site's actual administrator?

Here's something I hacked together in Chrome's inspect element/developer console:
<td class="category">
<span class="badge-category" style="background-color: #e9dd00; color: #000000; padding: 5px 7px;"><a href="/category/bug" class="badge-category" title="Bug reports on Discourse. Do be sure to search prior to submitting bugs. Include repro steps, and only describe one bug per topic please." style="
padding-left: 0;
color: #000000;
">bug</a><a style="
background-color: green;
padding: 2px 3px;
/* font-size: 90%; */
" class="badge-category">complete</a>
</span>
</td>
I think that this - including the parent category name - would help for several workflows, not the least of which is that shown above (bug tracking).
I was prompted to do this by the wart in this topic:
See that [REL] in the title there? Yeah. That's ugly. I think it would be better if they could use a category like this:
(Modding: Release as opposed to "Modding: discussion", etc.)
We should probably have some subcategories here on Meta to do testing of the codepaths for subcategories...
For example, the "bug: open" and "bug: complete" categories featured above, where "bug: complete" has permissions of everyone can reply/see. (Actually, does that forbid moving topics into the category? I'll test and report back...)
