Is there an easy way to allow regular users to be able to archive a topic they started? I don't think this feature would be abused for what I'm considering using discourse for. For example for a buy and sell category, where the item is sold, or maybe a category discussing events, where the event is over, it would be good if the original poster could archive the topic themselves.
A point in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks!

Over at Specifiction, we're experimenting with using Discourse to replace archaic W3C mailing lists. However, many of us still prefer a primarily email-based experience, with Discourse serving as a delightful browsing interface instead of the primary way of discussing.
I see there are a number of threads in this direction, including several discussing the "email in" feature. For me, the biggest problem is that whenever I reply to a thread, I get an email containing my own reply! Since this message was "sent by me," it's just silly and annoying. Indeed, it's always a disappointment when I see a notification on my phone: "oooh, new Discourse reply!" and then click on it only to discover it's the message I myself sent.
We're using this guide for getting emails in the forum, by the way.

When turning on emails for every post to a forum, the emails do not thread correctly, at least in Outlook 2013. It looks like there's an attempt to make it work, based on the In-Reply-To headers, but somehow it's still not working

I'm about to try out setting up WordPress plugin.
Before I do - I wondered if anyone can give any tips on setting it up on a blog with exiting comments.
Ideally, I don't want to lose the comments that we have but I appreciate that there's an issue where those comments already have email addresses associated with them that probably won't have accounts in the new forum.
So any thoughts / tips / suggestions will be appreciated.

It doesn't work every single time, but if you sort of click multiple times on the "n Replies ^" button at least some of the time the content there will load multiple times in a row.

I've had two different users contact me to ask why they weren't able to "Create Topic" because the button was disabled and grey. It turns out that they didn't see and understand the "N to go for the title" centered at the bottom as they were typing the title.
IMHO it would probably be helpful for this warning to be (a) somewhere in the proximity of the topic title as they are typing it, and (b) a bit more verbose, e.g., "Your title is N characters too short."

This morning I was prompted to approve six users on our new site; I went to the user approval page, but could not immediately see how to approve (or reject) users. After selecting one user, the 'approve' and 'reject' buttons appeared at the bottom of the page.
I think it would be more useful to have those buttons always visible, and grayed-out (and thus not clickable) when no users are selected. I believe this is the most common UX for this kind of mechanism (but I could clearly be wrong).

Apologies, not really a bug as such, but feedback.
I've been testing a discourse forum with Bing and Google's webmaster tools prior to go live, and Bing reports the following:
The <h1> tag is missing.For all pages, seems the h2 tag for most pages should be h1? (at least, looking at the source html that is served for the bots).
Also, I noticed that you see:

How did you find users took to using discourse when you moved them from other forum software?
I would have thought that someone in the forum might have said, "Hey, this is pretty nice."
Instead just comments about how it all looks complicated and difficult in the old forum while they can still post instead. No doubt they're just used to the fact that the login button hasn't moved in 6 years might have something to do with it!
So basically, I'm just wondering what kind of feedback admins and mods got as they moved people over about the UX. What kind of issues can I expect?
Sorry if I'm a little off-topic.

Question about two features of discourse: both the upgrade and the configuration features are great, and I would like to implement something like each of them on other rails apps I am working on. Short of just cribbing from the source, is either of those features easily ported to other apps? Thanks!

But I can't for the life of me remember what I was posting! There should be some way to see what your post was. Perhaps a button that says "View Post," which expands the notification box to show a preview of the post you were making.

I'd like to add a plugin by cloning a repo in app.yml. This fails because the repo is private.
The host machine's public SSH key is registered with GitHub, and I can clone it there fine -- so it seems like I want app.yml to read the host keys and add them to the container's ~/.ssh. How would I do this?
I'd like to avoid pasting a private key into app.yml if possible, since I have it in version control.

I'd like emails to include the "Re:" in replies to aid subject threading in dumber mail clients (most annoyingly including Apple's Mail.app). I coded this up and even submitted a pull request (thanks for looking at it @eviltrout). But then one of my users asked if it was possible to add the category to the subject line. I'm not sure I want to do this, but it is certainly reasonably so I'd like to look at adding a user configurable subject line with appropriate parameters available (ala reply by email address "%{reply_key}" token).
This would apply to user_replied, user_quoted, user_mentioned, user_posted - I don't think the others need further configuration options.
However, one thing I don't understand though is in the English translations, and a few of the other translations (including zh_CN) all four are the same subject, namely "[%{site_name}] %{topic_title}" - that would mean all four could be done in one setting and no translations are needed.
However in most of the translations (including zh_TW), all four are different and include the username and text about the reply/mention/quote, and even extra text in the normal user_posted subject, eg:
subject_template: "[%{site_name}] %{subject_prefix}%{username} 在 '%{topic_title}' 討論話題發表了文章"
I would assume that irrespective of language, the basic format of all the subjects should be the same, so my guess is that originally, the English originally included custom emails for each type, and this was translated, and then the english removed this and the new translations have taken not, but the old ones remain.
And indeed, looking at the "Blame" history for the line in the english translation shows @sam made a change in December "FIX: Custom email subjects (x quoted you in [title], x replied to [title]) was removed, this broke email grouping. TBD, include info in footer somehow"
So given this, I would guess that we could have a single config for email subject (for the four normal types) which looked like this: "%{optional_re}[%{site_name}] %{topic_title}" and that could include category and username and perhaps other tokens if desired by the user, but would be the same format for all four and would not be translated.
Any thoughts?
