I was looking for examples of Discourse, and the vast majority of them work as a Disqus: https://disqus.com/
Someone uses for something beyond comments about the article of a site?

Using middle or right mouse button to open a link in a new tab is giving me a weird layout, with tiny content on huge whitespace. Happening consistently here on Meta, but not our own instance, which is still using an earlier version of Discourse.
Firefox 34, Ubuntu Gnome 14.10.
Doesn't seem to be happening on Chromium.

We have set it up so everyone gets an email immediately when someone posts to the forum - mailing list mode as we transition from google groups.
However, users on my discourse are complaining that they are not seeing context of previous messages within email notifications as they would in a google groups email discussion. I know there is an "email posts context" setting which we currently have set to 5, but the emails are very short and do not contain any other topics as context.
Is there another setting I am overlooking?

For the CodeCombat forum, we have a lot of players posting their code to solve our levels. It would be great if we could use [spoiler] tags so that they aren't giving away the answers to players who don't want to see. It works with single line code:
[spoiler]`var singleLineCode = "some code";`[/spoiler]``var singleLineCode = "some code";`
But indenting by four spaces on multiline code doesn't work (the spoiler works, but not code formatting):
var multiLineCode = "some code with no code formatting";
while (true)
multilineCode += "some more code, wish it looked like code";Surrounding with triple backticks (our preferred method) makes code formatting work, but breaks the spoiler:
[spoiler]
var multiLineCode = "some code that should be spoiled"; while (true) multilineCode += "some more code, you can't unsee it";[/spoiler]
Would love it if the spoiler tag could support code blocks!

Is there a way to strip all of the "extra" locales from the Docker install so I can simply only worry about "en"? I'll never have a need for the others, so the compressing of them is pointless.
I also realize that the time saved will be minimal to the whole rebuild process, but nonetheless, every bit helps right?
If it doesn't exist, no biggie, not a huge problem, just something I've been thinking about.

As the topic title says, I want to paste a URL that I've copied to the clipboard, but when I tap to paste it only shows a Select option. Happens on iPhone 6, haven't tested anywhere else. (Edit) same problem on the iPad.
Once in a while I can paste the URL, but most of the time I can't. And if I've already added text to the box, I definitely can't add a link.
It's been driving me crazy for a while. I've had to resort to replying by email (if I actually had an email notification) or... and this is nuts, but I have used remote desktop on the iPhone to connect to my Mac so that I can paste a link into a textbox.

Just wanted to give props to @codinghorror for taking discussion from 1999 to 2014! Great work!!! We're using Discourse to build out our consumer-facing community for http://divorcebuddy.co (trello meets rocket lawyer for divorce). Staging site is at http://community.dev.divorcebuddy.co/. Love the fact you built on RoR.....great work!!! There's a fair amount of tweaking we need to do, but I'm quite stoked on the platform. Thanks for finally bringing discussion to the relevant decade. I'm excited to see all the cool sh*t the community is bringing to this!

I've noticed that most of the Discourse sites use the default with latest posts showing up upon landing. I'd like to know what people think...as far as Latest vs. Categories. Using Discourse for a consumer facing forum, to me it seems like Categories makes more sense. People come to our discussion page, and want to see which Category (or forum) that they want to participate in...what's the rationale/benefit for Latest? Most obviously, it shows activity, but I wonder if we're using this as truly consumer-facing target several different personas, does it make more sense to have people see all the categories or all of the Latest posts?
Thoughts? Opinions?

With 100% chance of reproduction, Discourse will freeze on all versions of Chromium on Windows 8.1.

Not being able to upload images as a new user is ridiculous, btw.

Hey, i would like to replace all the UI elements with "Topic" in it with "Question". So for that i replaced wherever there is "Topic" with "Question" inside config/locales/client.en.yml, but i couldn't see any changes after refreshing the page also if i rebuild the image my changes are getting overwritten.
Please suggest me the steps to recompile it properly.
Thanks

I know I would have less issues if I could use the supported docker install. However, I cannot (yet).
Can someone please post its working nginx discourse.conf file? As soon as I turn on SSL (with or without SPDY), I get ERR_SPDY_PROTOCOL_ERROR or ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR (/auth/google_oauth2) in both Chrome and Firefox when trying to start login/signup with Twitter or Google

This one is plain confusing.
Someone posted a question on our forums: http://community.sitepoint.com/t/i-am-getting-a-500-internal-server-error-after-i-restored-my-public-html-folder/107434
I asked to see the code, and they posted back, failing to properly indent it for code formatting to trigger.
I then flagged the post to send them a message, explaining how code highlighting is done. Presumably, the user clicked "edit" and then marked the code and clicked the "code" button, which turned the message into a much more readable one, fixing the syntax. Success! Or is it?
Turns out, the user, upon clicking "edit" edited the contents of the topic post as it was copied from my report, when I sent it to them via flagging. So effectively, he changed the inbox message's format, not the original post's format - the changes done on the copied post in the inbox are NOT reflected in the main post, which is crazy considering there's no easy way to get back to the topic at hand from the inbox message related to the topic.
I failed to realize this and replied with further advice on the very same topic, but later realized that, in fact, the reply was on the inbox message only, not on the topic as well. Upon trying to reply with the same answer onto the topic in question, the system refused and warned me about submitting content that was too similar to something I've already posted recently (namely, the inbox message to the user).
This is confusing and ridiculous for two reasons:
- The system has no business looking at how similar my inbox messages are to my topic post messages. They're two entirely separate contexts and as such, if I want to write identical messages, I should be allowed to.
- The system is confusing in that it doesn't let people know what context they're currently conversing in. Or at least, in that it doesn't copy the changes of one context (messages) into the other (topic).
I hope I've laid it out clearly - if any more clarification is required, please let me know.

I get a lot of responses from my users that sometimes the page doesn't load. Only the top menu show and the loading wheel just keeps spinning forever. Sometimes it helps to go back a page and then enter the page again, and sometimes not. It also happens more on mobile. I can't reproduce it because it happens what seems randomly. I suspected it was due to bad reception, but after asking my users it looks like it happens on wired network and 3g network. Any idea what's causing this?

This morning I upgraded us to Ember 1.9.0 in master. It's been automatically deployed to
meta.discourse.organdtry.discourse.orgThe good news is: we should see a nice little speed improvement due to optimizations in the new build. The bad news is, the upgrade involved changing many templates to remove deprecations, and that is error prone.
I did my best to review every change I made, but if you've ever been a programmer you'll probably know that when you do a lot of repetitive work, you are more likely to create bugs.
So please consider this a warning: if you are one of those who live on the edge of Discourse development and deploy master constantly, there might be some regressions due to this large update. You might want to wait a couple of days before deploying your servers.
For those of you who only deploy beta or stable releases, you should be fine. I expect we'll catch any errors by the time you deploy again.
Also please report anything you see hastily, I'll fix it ASAP!
Thanks!

I'm running version 1.2.0.beta4 and got a report of Discourse crashing Safari on iOS when a user was trying to type a long post. Not sure what other info I can provide to help, but I thought I would give you a heads up in case this is a stability issue with running it in mobile browsers.

Continuing the discussion from Forwarded emails and email-in topic creation:
Would it be possible to also allow TL4 trusted users to access the raw email source? I miss this on a regular basis.
On our system we are using TL4 instead of giving moderator privileges (including me) because we don't want to have access to categories on a daily basis that don't concern us (management team, mostly) and log in using a dedicated admin account to perform admin tasks.

Seems like something I should be able to do, but I can't figure out where it settings to do this.
