I find it reassuring to ask a question on a forum, and then see a reply by someone that is denominated as having reputation to back up their word. Any ideas on how this may happen with Discourse?

Title character requirements not very visible
dr_pangloss wrote:
I have just installed a copy of Discourse and when I attempted to create a new topic I was temporarily baffled because the 'create topic' button wasn't enabled.
As it turned out, the topic's title was too short and I didn't notice because
(a) the "n to go for the title" message doesn't contrast much with the background
(b) it is simply not shown unless the title box is activeI would suggest at least flashing a message up when you attempt to click on the disabled "create topic" button explaining why it is not enabled yet.

Auth using REST API?
pheuter wrote:
I am working on a desktop notification app for Discourse and am trying to figure out how to authenticate a user via the REST API.
If I have locked down the Discourse site via an access code, will I still be able to use the API to authenticate and get user notifications?
Thanks!

To group posts by a user
Мария Сергеева wrote:
I observed frequently that sometimes when I read forum discussions I would like to read in some topic only posts from one specific user because this user is of special interest to me. In that case other posts are perceived like noise. I have to scroll and skip them.
It would be good to have an option to filter thread somehow, for example, to click on user icon and then select menu option like "show only posts by this user" and see that only posts from that user are shown while posts from the other users are hidden.
Another option is to rearrange all the posts in the thread so that all the posts from any user are placed together.
In both options all posts in the thread by some user can be joined up to form one single post to make reading even easier because this united post actually represent aggregated message (opinion, answer, etc.) of this user.
Would it make sense?

What do you think about "Favorited categories"?
joebew42 wrote:
Hi to all,
maybe someone has already discussed about this feature, but after a few search I didn't find anything about it. So, what do you think to enable "Favorited categories" feature? Give to user the ability to star specific categories and to stay updated only on their threads.
For example, I can star a restricted number of categories and then when I come back in the homepage I will receive updates regarding only those categories.
We can add a tiny toggle button, near "Latest". Something like "Global" and "Favorited": So, if I click on "Global" I will receive all updates about all categories, otherwise I will receive only updates regarding "my favorites" categories. I don't know, this is only an idea. A feature like that could be very useful in large forums with a large number of categories with an activity community.
What do you think?

User and group permissions for private categories/boards
Bryan Mills wrote:
I'd really like to see some more privacy settings and options built into Discourse. The intention is not to discourage pariticpation, but rather provide users with the comfort of knowing their discussions will only reach an limited and appropriate audience. This could be of particular interest to social circles as a social network replacement. Right now the only good way to separate is to run multiple instances.
I like the idea of having a per-category or per-board (if such things existed) user-level permissions. As well as the ability to define permissions at the group level, something similar to Google+ Circles.
What do people think?

Allow for multiple API Keys

How can I customize the header via the application.html.erb file?
Ken Iovino wrote:
I'm trying to customize the header using the application.html.erb file, specifically right under the
</header>tag, something like this for example:</header> <div id='custom-code'>custom code here</div> <div id="main-outlet" class="container">But when I refresh the page I don't see the changes I made. I'm guessing this is because it's being handle through javascript. I'd like to use this as an opportunity to understand how Discourse is rendering the header. Can someone point me to in the right direction on how the header is being render and how I can edit it? I've added my customization to the following: application.html.erb, no_js.html, application.js.handlebars but I'm still not seeing my changes.

Import tools to get data from another q2a/forum platform
Ariel Jannai wrote:
Hello friends!
When I was looking for a forum/q2a for our organization, it was really hard to find something that will match what I've wanted. But then I came across codinghorror post on his blog, and discovered Discourse. Because it was a half a year ago, when Discourse only started, and I've already had to choose a platform - we went on a q2a platform.
So, I'm starting to think again about moving to Discourse, but I will have to move our questions over here.I was wondering if or when there will be any tool to import data from another q2a/forum platforms.
I saw that someone mentioned the possibility of such tools in one of the discussions here.Can someone tell what capabilities the tool will have?
Will it be some kind of API I would need to adjust to my platform? Or it will be already adjusted to a few existing popular platforms?I want to know if it will be possible for me to switch to Discourse in the future, or if it will be to difficult. So the sooner is better, even that I will have to use Discourse in production? Or wait a few months and then try to move it all?
Thanks a lost!!
Ariel.

/users/activate-account pulling blank logo instead of defaulting to h2
David Myers wrote:
I wanted to use text instead of an image for my "Site Logo", so I left the "logo_url" field blank on the Settings page.
Perfect, it looks it gets replaced with:
<h2 id="site-text-logo" class="text-logo">Text Goes Here</h2>This was exactly as I wanted it. Unfortunately, it looks like it's still trying to pull the non-existant img tag on /users/activate-account/ when a user is activating their account:
<img src="" alt="Text Goes Here" id="site-logo">

Infinite scrolling: Reusing DOM nodes
Karan Misra wrote:
Sencha documented their effort in making the Facebook app and were very clear on how they managed to get smooth scrolling with their infinite implementation.
From: http://www.sencha.com/blog/the-making-of-fastbook-an-html5-love-story/
It started with the implementation of an Infinite List Component that handles items with unknown sizes. Only a very small set of DOM nodes is actually created to fill in the actual visible screen area. They will then be constantly recycled to render next / previous data on-demand. As a result, memory footprint is kept minimal, regardless of the amount of data in the Store. Making this work is the easy part. Making it fast with the complexity and variety of items such as News Feed stories is the real challenge. The bottleneck lies within the core processes that a browser has to perform: layout and compositing.
Since we are aiming for the Discourse app to work across a multitude of devices, would it be worthwhile putting some effort into this? This might help with the scrolling performance on large pages too... (it shudders at times on my MBP when on HD3000 graphics.)
What say @sam @eviltrout @codinghorror ?

Apple touch icon doesn't show if there is no sub domain
sipp11 wrote:
I couldn't find any related topic about this, but when I tried with my install. I've found that I only get add to home screen icon on my iPad when I use any URL with sub domain, ie. www.example.com, x1.example.com. However, if I use example.com as URL, I will not get the icon at all.
First I thought it was my own issue, URL redirect thing, but as far as I've tried, it's not.
note: my apple_touch_icon_url is on S3.

Private replies that only admins can see
Shiv Kumar wrote:
What do you think about the idea of allowing forum admins/moderators to reply in-line within a topic with a private post that is only viewable to other admins/moderators?
The use case here is that a customer creates a topic about, let's say, a bug in our product. We'd like to discuss this bug internally before replying to the user with our solution. Currently, this is done in email chains or Hipchat or something like that. Ideally, we'd like to have this private conversation right in the topic so any other admins can quickly get caught up to speed in one place. The ability to create private posts within a topic would solve this problem.
