"You can't login as username from that address" -- Cloudflare might be identifying different users as the same user

Not positive this is a bug on Discourse’s end.

A user is reporting that they are unable to login because of an error they see in the login form: “You can’t login as username from that address”

I checked their account and they share the same IP as another user in the same city. The reverse whois for that IP is a Cloudflare address (their Helsinki center). Is Discourse being too aggressive in logins from the same IP? Should I boost the bug reporting user’s trust level to overcome this issue so they can login?

When viewing the bug-reporter’s page, I see that both users have a trust level of 1.

Repro steps:

Turn off the show_email_on_profile site setting;

Flag a post created by a TL0 user as spam;

Log into an account with moderation rights and no admin rights;

Go to admin/flags, click Delete… and then select Delete Spammer

Results:
The modal closes and the following errors show up in the browser console (screenshot taken from my local install):

Based on the research I did around the flags area in the codebase, I think this fails (I could be totally wrong here) because at some point discourse tries to run a “check email” task (similar to the task the check email button on profiles has) on the spammer using the moderator account, but since disabling the show_email_on_profile setting seems to prevent moderators from checking email addresses (?), the check email task fails and consequently deleting the spammer fails as well.

Hello!

I’m pretty new to discourse, i’ve spent half of my life using phpBB and really common thing/extension for it was to make it able to force all new topics in given category to be confirmed by moderator before the publication. It’s usefull for categories which has a strict rules about their title / body (like event directory for instance) or are vulnerable to topics containing some content which shouldn’t be there and can cause a legal troubles.

In my scenario, i need it for events directory to make sure each topic created has a proper title set (i have a strict topic rules to make it able to fetch the event topics by a third party tool) but the second scenario might also happen. On the other hand, i don’t want to prevent new users from posting topics in there as, in theory, anyone should be able to add an event there.

A perfect solution would be the one available in other forum software which i mentioned before - force confirmation of all new topics for a category. Is such thing possible / on a roadmap? If not, is that possible to achieve it with a plugin?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I run Discourse beside a custom web app where I want to embed it. Both are behind an nginx server and their URLs are https://mysite.com and https://forum.mysite.com.

I tested with 3 browser configs:

OSX, Firefox 54, strict config
Referer:https://forum.mysite.com/embed/comments?embed_url=https%3A%2F%2Fmysite.com%2Ffoo%2Fbar%2F

The referer did not match any of the following hosts:

    mysite.com
Browser console

Failed to execute ‘postMessage’ on ‘DOMWindow’: The target origin provided (‘https://forum.mysite.com’) does not match the recipient window’s origin (‘https://mysite.com’).

OSX, Firefox 54, everything enabled
blank space
Browser console

Load denied by X-Frame-Options: https://forum.mysite.com/login does not permit cross-origin framing.

WinXP, Firefox 52, everything enabled

The embedded comments are working fine.

I would like to enable new user accounts in Discourse for some trusted users of our legacy system. I have seen the discussion below, but it doesn’t answer my question.

Approve a new user without sending a notice email support

Hi, I'm running my discourse under "require admin approval for new accounts" setting true. When I sign up a new user, and successfully confirmed with told this: "A moderator must manually approve your new account before you can access this forum. You'll get an email when your account is approved!" but I cant's receive the notice email. I'll been tried this three times and all failed, any helps?Thank you.

The screenshot for “Activate Account” in that topic (from 4 years ago) is not something I am seeing now under Users. Of the users I have uploaded, who haven’t taken the action to join, Discourse only allows me to resend the email, rather than confirm them via the Admin side. Unconfirmed users do not show up anywhere else that I can see. Am I missing something?

Discourse-pending-edit.jpg1129x384 36.4 KB

Why this is important: I have a subset of key stakeholders who communicate from inside secure facilities that do not allow web access. They do have email access and communicate via listserv now. But … they cannot successfully click the link sent in the emailed invitation to confirm their account. How do I enable accounts for these types of users?

Set up Mattermost notifications using the discourse-chat-integration plugin

This #howto describes how to setup the Mattermost provider included in discourse-chat-integration.

Install

If you haven’t already, install the discourse-chat-integration plugin

Setup Mattermost

Your Mattermost server needs to be accessible from your Discourse server in order to connect them. It is recommended that you use HTTPS, but HTTP should also work.

In your Mattermost System Console, under Custom Integrations, check that these settings are enabled:

Enable Incoming Webhooks

Enable integrations to override usernames

Enable integrations to override profile picture icons

Login to your team, click your name in the top left, then click Integrations

Choose Incoming Webhooks, Add incoming Webhook

Enter a “Display Name”, “Description”, and choose a random channel from the list (it doesn’t matter which one, Discourse will override this)

Save

Copy the URL provided, you’ll need it later

Setup Discourse

Paste the URL you copied into the chat_integration_mattermost_webhook_url site setting

Enable chat_integration_mattermost_enabled

Setup some “Rules” for your channels, according to the discourse-chat-integration instructions. Channel identifiers look like #town-square or @davidtaylor.

Click Test on one of the channels to check everything’s working. You should receive a message like this:

As of today when you paste in images we no longer use IMG tags. So for example:

Generates the Markdown
![very good|512x397](//discourse-meta.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/0/3/03741c9f3eafd7fc8ccd791a6971a2c0d52783e4.jpg)
I also added an Ninja feature that allows you to quickly scale images down
![very good|512x397,20%](//discourse-meta.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/0/3/03741c9f3eafd7fc8ccd791a6971a2c0d52783e4.jpg)
So by adding ,20% you scale the image down to 20% size, this is particularly handy for people who paste in “retina” screenshots end end up having double sized images. A quick ,50% will make the image look just right.

Steps to reproduce:

Visit a topic long enough to be summarised

Read posts and have the ‘Back’ button come up on the side scrollbar
screenshot.png270x878 5.83 KB

Leave the topic and come back again (clicking the back and forward buttons on the web browser will do)

Scroll back to the top and summarise the topic.

Pull the scrollbar to any post:
screenshot2.png257x842 9.94 KB

Expected behaviour: I will be taken to the post for the summarised version of the topic

Actual behaviour: it expands the whole topic again (so it is no longer summarised)

Even if you go back to the top and summarise afterwards, the topic will expand again if you use the progress bar to navigate.

Browser details: I found this on Safari for desktop and iPad.
Sorry if I miss anything and please feel free to ask for more details. oh and sorry if I have made mistakes too, just let me know if I would need to investigate more closely

I tested these steps on several of the topics with most replies here, and it happened to all of them.

Two of the forums I admin with Discourse contain users that know each other in real life and talk about things that occur in real life (business based and sport based).

I couldn’t find any discussion about this anywhere specifically, but is there a way to suppress all warnings/education for posts?

New users (clients) on my business forum get annoyed by all the education that occurs to them and people who know each other on the sport one get annoyed when members are called out for replying to each other a little bit in one topic.

People finding old posts via Google very often just post there related, but different, problem as a reply - event if the topic is marked as solved. Problem is that of course these topics don’t get nearly the same attention as a new topic with a proper title.

It would be great, if one could configure a “warning message” shown to users, that come into solved topics, and try to respond the first time.

That way, we could tell them something like this:

You are responding to a topic that was already marked as solved. As you haven’t posted in this topic before, please make sure you open a new topic if you have a problem that needs a solution itself. Posting to this topic your post probably won’t receive the attention it would get in its own topic. Thank you.

or even

Please don’t respond to solved topics with new problems. Open a new topic for that please. Thanks.
