So our Discourse install is running smoothly at the moment, but what if it suddenly wasn't?
What are the recommended diagnostic tools to measure things like performance and bandwidth on your Discourse Docker container?

If I delete a new member, using the button on their public profile page, the page reloads to our standard 404 error page.
But if I delete a new member using the button on their admin page, it reloads to a mostly blank page, with just the admin menu bar:
![]()
At first I thought it was a "users" page which hadn't finished loading - because, IIRC, it used to reload to a users page - and sat patiently waiting until I realised that's all there is.
Expected behaviour: a "delete user" button should behave in the same manner, irrespective of where it's located.

I think this issue has resurfaced again in the past few weeks:
A moment ago, I tried tapping slightly above the blue bar, which went nowhere, then repeatedly moving down as little as possible with each new attempt.
I never was able to reveal the new topic before I hit the first topic in the list.

Right now we have two entirely different styles for new topics and new posts within a topic... we can probably fix that pretty easily.
![]()
So the simple change would be:
![]()
but... while the dot makes the "• new" stand out more... it doesn't communicate any information other than "look at me" — can we add more context without adding more noise?

Hi, I don't no if this is already implemented, but recently on my version of discourse instance there has been alot of spam, and i was wondering whether or not it was possible to limit how many posts a user can make per day on certain topics, but not on the whole site? If this is already inplemented, then please could you tell me where to find it, thanks

Today I pushed an importer script for Ning. I've only used it for one site, and plan to use it for a second site soon. I'm sure there will be many improvements to be made because no two imports are ever the same!
As with all importer scripts, edit the constants near the top of the file to point to your Ning archive files and set other options specific to your data.
Let us know if you're doing an import from Ning. Contributions to improve this script are welcome!

So we have a small bit of Javascript getting data out of the Top Posts to list in our sidebar. This works fine the first time the page is loaded, However, if using the "back" button in the browser, or even clicking a link to the homepage, most of the time it loads up and displays an empty box. How can I force this to load the list every time it is displayed?
<script> $.ajax("http://OUR_IP/latest.json").then(function (result) { var topics = result.topic_list.topics; var myDiv1 = document.getElementById("top-post-body"); for (var t = 0; t < 10; t++) { myDiv1.innerHTML = myDiv1.innerHTML + ("<div class='top-post-link'>" +"<a href='/t/" +topics[t].slug+"'>" + topics[t].title + "</a></div>"); } }); </script>

Hi guys,
When you go to a topic (for example https://meta.discourse.org/t/json-codes-doesnt-always-execute/24360) it appends a number to the end of the topic.
When I navigate to that page through a link (for example /meta.discourse.org/t/json-codes-doesnt-always-execute/) it automatically appends that number to the URL. However, when I than use the "back" button in the browser, it simply refreshes the page (most of the time) or changes that number and loads a different thread instead. I'm trying to determine WHAT the number does so I can figure out how to properly create the links so page navigation still works.

Maybe can reduce file size download as well as latency?

So I noticed that when you go into your unread tab, the "Dismiss Posts" and "Dismiss Topics" buttons are at the bottom of your unread page. Although this is ok when your unread tab consists of just a few threads, but earlier on it got really annoying trying to get to the bottom of my unread tab of 1000 threads.
Ergo, they should be at the top.
@codinghorror @sam is there any reason why they are at the bottom, or could they be at the top?

We're successfully embedding the forum topics at the bottom of our pages, but on some of our pages we don't want to include all of the comments and would prefer to just have a link to go directly to the Topic on Discourse, probably with the number of replies in the link text, as well.
I see the
count.jsscript can be used to get the reply count, but it appears as though it can only be linked to a page which then embeds the topic.Using existing functionality, is it possible to to just link to the topic page with the reply count instead of fully embedding the entire topic on the page?

Could the current Discourse build / version be added to the Error Log (
Env?)This would aid in accurate error reporting and debugging as Discourse versions move forward rapidly.
Perhaps something like:
Discourse 1.2.0.beta5 - version 4c0129ccddb9037467133d37e5a93520a5f86f77If it helps perhaps plugin versions could be included too?

Hi all, first post here
I'm in a bit of a predicament really. I have a Wordpress site currently that has over 1000 members that's been using BBpress up to now. I'm wanting to use Discourse for the forums and profiles but I'd like the members to still comment on news and website posts. Now, I understand there are a couple of plugins available that allow for SSO between Discourse and Wordpress, but I'm thinking of using avatars from Discourse (for example) rather than Wordpress but have them used all over the site. Is this possible? I'm still a new user so not too familiar with how Discourse works. Currently you can set Discourse to use the avatars from Wordpress but not the other way around.
In a sense, I'm wanting Discourse to be the hub for the entire site. I'm happy for Wordpress to do the registration and logins as it is now but I feel that profiles, avatars and the like are better handled in Discourse itself. Of course the user would be able to stay logged in between the forums and the site as well.
In short, I'm asking if anyone has any examples of how to implement these kind of changes? I'm new to ruby but with the great installation tutorial and docker I got things up and running quickly. I would prefer a solution in PHP if at all possible!
Last of all, to the devs, I love Discourse and I'm very excited to see where it goes in future. Keep up the good work.
If this post hasn't made too much sense I'm sorry, it's late and I'm tired!
Cheers.

Is there a way to enable SSO without disabling all the content spam checks/tools?
I own a community website that's open to the public with 200K+ users, and while our SSO app stops bots pretty effectively on the registration form, we still get several human spammers successfully registering every day. It's pretty much impossible to differentiate them from normal users until they post profile spam, threads, etc.
I saw this comment from @riking that all of Discourse's anti-spam stuff is disabled when SSO is turned on.
Is it possible to turn a lot of that back on and still use SSO?
I trust that a user who successfully registers is a human, but I don't trust them to not spam. So I still want the content-spam stuff like rate-limiting, sock-puppet checks, etc happening.
Since the code is already written, seems like a no-brainer to leverage it.
We have several other custom-built apps specific to the site's topic, so that's why we use SSO. I suppose we could hack things such that Discourse is the SSO gateway for the other apps, but it's a lot cleaner to stay with a dedicated SSO app outside of Discourse.
It'd also be handy if there was an endpoint where the SSO app can check if Discourse thinks someone is a spammer--then the SSO app can freeze their account across the entire site until the user record is manually reviewed by a moderator.

Not sure if this is a bug or a feature.
For example, if their username is "johndoe" and their display name is "John Doe" ...the "John Doe" would not display next to their username on the forum with the "display name on posts" option checked.
If the username is "johndoe" and their display name is "Something Else" ...the display name would appear.
Some of the members of my forum have been adding symbols like ™ at the end of their display names to get around it. The display name is still used in emails regardless.
This started happening after I upgraded to 1.2.0.beta4 from 1.0 and is still present in 1.2.0.beta5.
Any ideas?

Usually there is an issue when we share a link a topic on social networks: people comment to the topic on the network itself, instead of going to the forum and doing a proper forum-reply.
Time ago, using a different forum software, we made a plugin, which every X minutes, checked if a topic URL was shared on Facebook, and if was found, it grabbed the comments users made on Facebook and shown them as replies (indicating those were made at Facebook, linking to the corresponding user profiles), this replies were inserted chronologically into the discussion.
This way all of our topic had more interaction and those comments were not "missed" outside the forums. As the topic got more interaction, more users signed the forums and replied more, etc.
What do you guys think about this?

The api call for latest topics returns this bit about the original poster:
posters:

Is there a way to get the original poster's username from the id returned in the topic response?
