Where all new users are to be approved after signing up, I send them a standard "vetting" email via my email client "Please explain who are you are and why you are interested in being on the forum" (It isn't as blunt as that, but no spammer has replied yet.

TO speed things up, it would be beyond useful if there were an option for a Pre Approval email in the Content Section and a tag "Send Pre-approval email" on the dashboard, to the left of the "Send Activation email" tag.

I was looking at maybe using the Login Required Welcome Message to pop the question, but asking at that stage, why do you want to join, and these are the buttons to press if you do, seems a bit too much.

What do you think? Better for them to have made the move and signed up before being asked to justify their motives for signing up?

So overall, with my dashboard window permanently open on New Users, any new applicants that come in, I tick their box, click on Send Pre-approval email, and wait for a response. If a reply comes back, Activate and we are on. A lot quicker than what I have going on now.

Continuing the discussion from How does the Discourse project work?:

As an admin, I want to be able to easily see the difference and change between dev (tests-passed), stable, beta "channels" from the UI, so that I can better understand how & when my system is getting updates.

I realize this is possible by editing the config files, but that's a bit hidden. Additionally, I'd recommend taking the lead from other released software here and allowing the product UI to only be able to choose beta or stable, and require something more under-the-hood (config file) to select tests-passed given the volatile nature of releases at that level. (For example, one must download a separate Chrome Canary channel product.)

Okay, so I've generated my own test data up to this point, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to ensure I test all scenarios against my own data.

Is there data we can load into our development environments? I don't have specific situations in mind, but it just seems it would be easier to development changes against an existing dataset than manually creating a bunch of topics/posts.

Also is there an easy way to unload the existing dataset and reload it with the default data (in case I alter the data in some way so I can get it back to its default state?)

Thanks.

I just had occasion to create a new account in our discourse based on email address and password

I was surprised that my browser (chrome 37 for the mac) didn't auto-fill my name and email address.

I typed a password at random, fully expecting my password manager to offer to remember what that was, but it was not triggered.

Would something as simple as adding autocomplete="on" be enough to enhance this experience? (is it off/not specified on purpose?)

Folks, I've seen the question a few times, but really haven't seen any good answers...

How does one scale and make Discourse highly available?

Like, how can I setup a PGSQL cluster, and have a bunch of web "front-ends" talking to the cluster, and storing data on a shared NFS for the web front-ends? Using haproxy in front for the load balancers, docker containers for the web side, and a PG cluster on the backend?

Also, does Discourse have the ability to use read nodes and write nodes on the db side like Wordpress, Xenfo, and some others do?

Thanks!
Tom

@JSey found a bug in the phpBB 3 Importer:

Turns out, the bbcode block parser blindly assumes that [size] tags only contain text and doesn't deal well if the content renders into a single JSON-ML array that represents a quote (or any other block, for that matter).

Fixed here:

Reproduction steps:

1. Create an empty file, 'name_poisoner.EXTENSION' where EXTENSION is an authorized upload extension.
2. Upload it to the forum.
   name_poisoner.csv (0 Bytes)
3. Create another empty file, naming it something different. Here, I'll name it empty_file.txt.
4. Try to upload it to the forum...
   name_poisoner.csv (0 Bytes)
5. Whoops! You get a different filename.

Note that the filename is stored in the database and sent to the client when you try to download it.

I'm aware that this is a direct result of uploads being content-addressable, so there's not really an easy fix.

Taking the last name uploaded is no fix, either - then you can change the filename of someone else's file! (e.g. changing the sent filename of dump.csv to I_LOVE_BIG_BUTTS.jpg simply by downloading, renaming, and reuploading)

In the email settings /admin/site_settings/category/email I see

It seems to me that the only way this is possible is if discourse phoned home, and I really don't think that's the case here.

Would this language more accurate if it read:

Email address of key contact for site. Notices regarding critical updates may be sent to this address when update (version checks) and (new version emails) are enabled.

Or some such... may move the update options near here, or just link to the /admin/site_settings/category/uncategorized page ?

Hi,

Quite often, I read a private message but I can't answer immediately, so I'd like to mark it as "unread" to answer it later.
Did I miss something or this feature is really missing?

Setting the option "delete removed posts after" to 0 or -1 won't delete the posts immediately but rather it will change the "deleted" message to:

and

(post withdrawn by author, will be automatically deleted in -1 hours unless flagged)

Is it impossible to immediately remove posts, by design?

Official Docker install on Ubuntu here. Everything was working very well until our electricity went down early yesterday morning and stayed out long enough that the UPS ran out of juice. When the power came back on and everything came back up, all I'd get when trying to visit my forum is the "Welcome to nginx" message.

I tried various things, too many to remember, but have made no headway (and am still getting the same error message). Here's what I know, and where it currently stands:

1. When my system is booting, it shows Fail when starting lxc-network.

2. No matter what I do with ./launcher, whether rebuild app, ssh app, whatever, the outut is this:
   sudo ./launcher start app
WARNING: No swap limit support
Unable to find image 'samsaffron/discourse:1.0.3' locally

Your Docker installation is not working correctly

   See: https://meta.discourse.org/t/docker-error-on-bootstrap/13657/18?u=sam

Yes, before anybody asks... I did check that link but wasn't sure the info there applied to this situation. I have a feeling that Fail message on startup has something to do with this... how do I diagnose that? Of course my 'feeling' may be way wrong.

Gmail normally sends as multipart/alternative, but it can be configured to send only text/plain. Unfortunately, when I try this Discourse sends me an email titled "Email issue -- No Content" with the following body:

We're sorry, but your email message to ["(email here)"] (titled Testing text/plain from Gmail) didn't work.

We couldn't find any content in the email. Make sure that you wrote something at the top of the email - we can't parse inline replies.
If you're getting this and you did include content, try again in UTF-8 plain text (no HTML).

I verified by Bcc'ing to another address that the message is sent with headers:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Is that just me, or is text/plain handling actually broken? This was sent as a new topic, if that matters.

(Top-post only is also a little disappointing, but that's a separate topic and probably done to death.)
