I tried to use the spoiler bbcode while writing a post on my Nexus 5 and it doesn't show up for me. Is it because I'm the author? Or is it because I'm doing it wrong?
This is super secret.
Well it works here and I'm doing it the same way on my forum so I'm not sure what the problem is.

/users/account-created and /users/activate-account currently do not include the Google Analytics tracking script.
I would think the script should be included on these pages so that I can track account creation and account activation events in Google Analytics.
Is there a specific reason GA has been left off of these pages? If not, should I submit a pull request?

When you're reading a topic, there's no direct way to create a new topic, unrelated to that currently showing. You have to go back to the homepage and look for the Create Topic button.
I often get the idea of a new topic when I'm reading another one.
Don't you think it would be nice to have such a button showing on every page?

I want to use discourse as a core q&a functionality on my website and I am really concerned about its SEO capabilities so I would like to know in detail - What is the SEO advantage of using Discourse? Does it do auto ping to google after creation of new content?

When Discourse sends emails on particular topic, posts tend to miss the link that points back to the website. Gmail for example shows the posts one after the other. It looks great, but the part where you need to click to respond gets trimmed (duplicate content) with ... dots. Invisible link is not best solution if you are trying to convert readers to users.
There is SO question about this issue:

Hi, it looks like there are some missing translations for the Czech language version:
[cs.created_lowercase]
[cs.last_post_lowercase]
[cs.posts_lowercase]
[cs.views_lowercase]
[cs.users_lowercase]
[cs.notifications.*]
[cs.search.context.topic]
[cs.user.log_out]
...These are just examples, there is more of them. I've joined the czech translation team on Transifex to translate them, but I wasn't able to find them. So I was wondering, are those keys missing in the czech resource files? Or where can I find them so I can translate them?

Blog post today by Google:
http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/updating-our-technical-webmaster.htmlObviously Discourse takes specific actions delivering different content to Googlebot - I thought I would post this here for developers to review.
We recently announced that our indexing system has been rendering web pages more like a typical modern browser, with CSS and JavaScript turned on. Today, we're updating one of our technical Webmaster Guidelines in light of this announcement.
For optimal rendering and indexing, our new guideline specifies that you should allow Googlebot access to the JavaScript, CSS, and image files that your pages use. This provides you optimal rendering and indexing for your site. Disallowing crawling of Javascript or CSS files in your site’s robots.txt directly harms how well our algorithms render and index your content and can result in suboptimal rankings.

Continuing the discussion from Real Names Shown in emails:
Not sure if this is related or not to the setting above, but on our site we are getting reports from members that the email notifications contain the beginning part of the poster's email address.
Example:
Username is ImNotTelling with email at rMyExample@yahoo.com (yes, this is all made up) -- I can't tell what the user's real name property is -- doesn't seem to show for Mods in the Admin area...The email notification references the user by rMyExample instead of ImNotTelling (which is why I think its related to the above setting). However, does the system default the beginning of the email address as the "real name" of the user? Or maybe that was a problem with our migration -- that it choose the first part of the email address instead of using the username?
Just trying to make sense of it

Continuing the discussion from Inappropriate / Obscenity / Profanity Language Filter:
Was wondering what features this included. I'm a mod and was able to post profanity so I'm not sure how it works.
Does it stop the user from being able to post the word in question?
Does it allow the word and warn?
Does it allow the word, warn and create a flag?
Does it replace the word with something else?

We're using Discourse as an internal discussion forum/knowledge pool and would like weekly digest sent to an all@ alias.
My first thought was to make a modification to enqueue_digest_emails.rb but this could lead to trouble down the road I think. I also tried cheating by creating a user whose e-mail address was aliased to all@ but that user never receives digests because it's non-participatory.
Is this a use case anyone else has explored when using Discourse as an internal company forum?

Hello,
On our Discourse instance (v1.1.0beta 7), we cannot anymore go on user profile or private message pages.
For example:![]()
In the browser console:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error) https://forum.poppy-project.org/users/Matthieu.json?_=1414436311208 Internal Server Error application- Discourse.Route.extend.actions.error application-7a3dabe9c1d79d6183afbff52d738b3d.js:741 Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CACHE_MISS https://forum.poppy-project.org/users/matthieu/private-messagesI tried to turn off/on again the server but without any result.
Any idea ? how can I have more information about the issue ?

I have copy/pasted the example from "Specifying the list to be used for the poll". The poll should be on the 2nd list, but on our install of Discourse appears on the first list.
Intro Text
- Item one
- Item two
Here are your choices:
- Option 1
- Option 2

I see in other threads that the developers have a strong aversion to a "Mark All As Read" feature. So let me describe what I'm trying to do, and perhaps someone can offer a solution.
I go on a forum and read some of the posts. I don't mark a thread to be followed, as there are days when I'm interested in one group of threads, and other days when I'm interested in others. I just look at the latest posts and see which ones interest me on that day.
The following day I log into that forum again to see if there are any posts of interest since the last time I looked. I'd like to be able to quickly see where I left off. Instead, I have to remember what time of day it was when I logged off, and figure out how many hours that was. Then I go through the threads to see which ones are marked with a smaller number of hours.
It's sort of cumbersome. Other forums have solved this problem simply by allowing me to mark all posts as read when I leave, so they don't show up tomorrow. Remember, I'm less interested in "threads" than "posts". I get that we'll never had "Mark all as read" here, but can there be something else that does the same thing? Something simply to show me where I left off?

I'm trying to understand if this is possible with a typical Discourse installation. I've read the topics that discuss multi-site installs - this seems to involve setting up a separate database instance for every subdomain.
I'm interested in hosting a large number (hundreds or thousands) of small (~dozens of participants, peak volume likely tens of messages per day) forums. Would be nice if possible to do this without needing to create a separate database for each forum. Thinking about Discourse as an alternative to creating lots of teeny Yahoo/Google groups.
If this is not possible out-of-the-box, is this a feasible customization challenge?

Uploading of photos can take some time (maybe its just our server). There's a status indicator in the bottom of the screen that shows upload status in %. But it can take a few moments for that status indicator to appear and its not very easy to notice.
Recommend an upload progress notification appear more quickly and in a more noticeable way.
We've had users complain that they can't upload photos and get no error message. When what's really happening is that they don't know the upload is going on.

Just a couple of quick questions.
Can I turn on caching?
Can I disable the server signature?
Can I change the discourse.conf located with in the system?
I know my way through NGINX pretty well and I was wondering if I could tweak the conf files, would they save on reboot?
Thanks
