Hi,
I have 8k topics in my discourse instance, I want to mark all those topics as 'new' which I have not yet read, but when I am selecting a setting under Profile -> Prefrences - > Consider topics new when -> "I haven't viewed them yet"
![]()
After selecting this option only 13 topics appears under 'New' tab and after that my website stopped working then I have to restart my discourse instance again. Please help how can I resolve this problem

Hi there,
I have two slightly competing goals for my forum:1) I'd like to keep it open, so that it can be crawled by Google and I can benefit from SEO.
2) However, I'd like to get emails from users via signups, so I'd like to get a link to get them to signup.
Ideally, I could set the homepage of my forum to be a signup page, but if you have the URL to a thread or if you search on Google, you could still view the conversations.
Is there a good way for me to do this?

Hi,
I'm using Discourse 1.2.0.beta5 on http://community.blendernation.com and noticed that the 'New' and 'Unread' counts don't update until I do a full page refresh:
With other Discourse instances that I work with, these counts will update whenever I read those messages. Any idea why this is and how I can fix it?
Thanks!

Just a quick one,
I added a background image to a category but it's not displaying anywhere? The category logo works fine but no background image in sight for me
Is it a setting anywhere? If so I'm missing it!
Cheers.

- Create a post with some syntax highlighting:
function myFunction(x) { console.log(x); return x; }
- Save the post.
- Edit the post - add a character or something.
- Save the post.
After step 4, the syntax highlighting is removed for that post. It doesn't return until the page is refreshed.

I have a SSO setup with group syncing, and I noticed the output from members.json has changed from being simply an array with members to having these keys:
- members (contains array of members that was the only output before)
- meta (contains array with keys total, limit, and offset)
The limit value comes up as 50 by default, so only 50 of the group members are displayed in the members array, which may be troublesome if you are doing group syncing and need to retrieve all the members in the group.
The solution is to add a
limitparameter onto the .json that's consumed, like this:And you will need to update your code to account for the output having the two keys now.
Also: Are groups able to have more than 201 members now?? It seems so...

Is this a current/wanted/planned for feature? If you remove the "Uncategorized" category, will the category just default to the next first available category?
Just wondering what is behind that

Hi, I was just wondering what the 'docker ' part (The bit apparently discourse can't run without) actualy do. Is it just the
/admin/upgradepart that lets you upfate discourse without any hassle, or is there more to it?I want to know, as i want to host discourse on a server that does not support docker, and was wondering if i could live without it. Thanks

Quite a bit later, but I still find the lock quite startling and confusing, it just feels like its a category that can not be posted into cause it was shut down. I really wish we could have a different icon there, even if its not the group icon.

Okay, so here is the scenario:
- Abusive member or spammer (doesn't matter) posts.
- Use Spam flag and Ban their IP/Email.
- Member concedes to Admin and apologizes so we are told to give him a second chance
- Go to Admin > Screened IPs area only to realize his IP is not listed in the 200 entries returned
- Type IP into search, only to realize there is no search.... that is for adding a new IP to the list, not modifying one.
Tell Admin, we can't figure out how to do this...
As an aside, I find it very annoying that being so IP centric that Discourse limits the number of IPs we can see without any way to get to another list of them. If I ban someone months ago and they appeal, how do I unblock their IP? Or what if the IP got reassigned to someone else who hasn't abused our system, how do I unblock it then without knowing if their IP is truly blocked or not (someone emails our contact email to ask why they can't sign up... how do you nail that down to a blocked IP address if you can't see all of the blocked IP addresses)?

(Not sure if this is the correct place to ask this, but if not I'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction)
The site I'm looking to develop features account profiles (beyond what what be featured in an individual's discourse profile) and I'm curious if there is a way to have a running total of their discourse stats (# of posts, likes, etc) automatically fed into this other account?
Bonus Questions:
If this is possible, would it be practical to have this in 40+ profile previews on an aspect of a site where people browse all the profiles on the site? Or would it take too long to load all of these?
Is this a hard thing to develop?
Any help answering this would be greatly appreciated!

I'm trying to tackle one of the “social media look”-use cases by modifying the list/topic_list_item.raw data-template using @lightyear's hint that there's a image_url attribute waiting to be processed. Now, I wonder if there's something already there that I could use to compare the topic's category to a list - do I have to throw in a Handlebars.registerHelper to compare stuff, or is there an easier way?
To make it a bit more clear, I'm trying to do:
<td class='main-link clearfix'> {{raw "topic-status" topic=topic}} {{#if topic.category_id>80}} {{#if topic.image_url}} <a href="{{topic.url}}"> <img src="{{topic.image_url}}" style="max-height: 100px; max-width: 200px;" /> </a> {{else}} {{topic-link topic}} {{/if}} {{{/if}}}...the mis-aligned third line in my code is what I mean; Handlebars supports no operators inside the if statement.

Hello,
We're running Discourse using AWS Elastic Beanstalk's Docker environment, with a single Docker container running on each of 2 (or more) servers.
We noticed that the main stylesheet is 404ing about 50% of the time. I think this is because of the stylesheet cache implementation:
- A rebuild of the main stylesheet is triggered by e.g. adding a new category.
- One of the servers recompiles the stylesheet, writes it to its local filesystem, and updates the stylesheet path in the distributed cache.
- Both servers now serve the updated stylesheet path, but only one of the servers has the updated stylesheet in its filesystem.
Is my understanding of the issue correct? If so, it seems like this could potentially be solved by writing the stylesheet to the distributed cache, or a shared storage service like S3, rather than the local filesystem.

I've got my discourse install set up and running quite well, but a lot of users are looking for e-mail based reply and posting.
I'm new to setting up mail servers so would like some guidance on setting up the mail system to achieve the following:
- Each category will be set up with an inbox, e.g.
general@forum.mysite.com- Replies will be sent to
topic-%{reply_key}@forum.mysite.comI've been trying to configure dovecot for this but so far have had no luck getting it to function, anyone got this set up?
Thanks.

We have a multi-server deployment of discourse behind a LB. We use rsyncd to keep the /uploads/stylesheet-cache/ directory in sync. However sometimes when we do deployments our users will get 404 when requesting desktop_${digest}.css.
We poked around and discovered that this happens because the digest function in discourse_stylesheets.rb is called simultaneously on both our servers from two different requests. Part of the digest is the last modified time of the most recent stylesheet in /app/assets/stylesheets/**/*.*css. Since rsyncd can't guarantee instant file synchronization, this may lead to different digest results, and hence our users will sometimes get 404 on new sessions.
Maybe there should be a better digest synchronization than relying on most recent mtime of a local directory? Otherwise it seems NFS is our only risk-free solution, but that has its own set of problems.

I was syncing my users, and it died at a specific point ("Killed" - because of memory usage) - but then I restarted it and it died at the same user again. So I investigated it, and immediately saw, that the user was using a mailinator-account (which is on the blacklist) - that caused the import to hang?!
Oh, I am syncing using the API of my admin account, using /admin/users/sync_sso

I have an inkling this is a 'no' but I'm new to Ruby on Rails so I figured it's worth a shot.
I'm used to sandboxing my web dev stuff on an external drive, specially this Toshiba model here. I currently have a AMPP stack installed on one which I plan to reformat and use for this, if possible.
I did read the guides on developing with Ruby/Rails on Windows, which sounds like I'd have to get a separate, full SSD just to start. Can I use a portable VirtualBox with the aforementioned Toshiba? Is it theoretically possible or not at all?
If it matters at all, my PC's specs are: Windows 8.1, 10GB memory, 3.50 GHz six-core processor, 2TB SATA with 16 GB SSD for caching.

I understand that categories can be manually ordered by changing the category position number. This changes the category order on the categories page, but not in the "All Categories" drop down menu. Is there a way to manually order the drop down menu as well?
My scenario is a forum with two primary categories which should given priority as they are the main focus of the website. The other categories are for "off topic" discussions that should been given less importance.
