This happened to me on another online community recently. I sent a PM but did so based on mistaken identity. A harmless mistake. The content, however, is not so harmless and might leave bad feelings for the unintended recipient.
I've been to a few communities that have such a feature (such as MUSHes). Where clicking a link (or for a MUSH, typing a command) before the PM is read by the recipient. The action retracts it and deletes it so the recipient doesn't view the contents and never knows it was sent in the first place.
I understand if the current system doesn't allow this and cannot be hardcoded in. My questions ask ways to deal with this if a user messages an admin that has permission to view all PMs and can query/edit the database.
My first thought is having the user edit out the content but if they don't make the ninja edit window then the original message shows up in the edit history and negates the entire point of editing it. The other idea is having the admin go in and hard-delete it from view and that opens the whole "breaching privacy" can of worms that's been debated ad infinitum. Don't want to go there, please. My last thought is if the sender of the initial PM can hit the trash can button and that equals a retraction. The button would be available if the recipient didn't read the message yet.
So what should be standard practice for this if using a Discourse-run community?
(Also, my concern has nothing to do with replies within a PM already in progress. This has to do with the very first message of a PM.)

I am curious to know that if it is possible to install TinyMCE editor in discourse because the default disocurse editor is very limited editing facilities and I want to avoid formatting my test with HTML.

For some reason topics sort order is not saved in categories, though it works in 'all categories'.
Similar to this:
But the reason is that url is not changed when we click on sorting button.

It's not as daunting as it sounds!
As you probably know, the only supported installs of Discourse are the Docker installs. While this may sound a bit intimidating at first, it's really not all that bad. You basically need to do two things:
Install HAProxy (or an alternative) which will take over port 80 and then divert your Discourse traffic to your docker container, and all your other sites to your usual Apache set-up.
Let Apache know which port to listen for.
While this is only a rough guide, it should do a good job of pointing you in the right direction. Let's get started!
Upgrade your kernel
I personally recommend you upgrade your kernel as docker works better with the latest kernels. Just Google how to upgrade your kernel for your distro.
Install Docker
I used the CentOS guide here: https://docs.docker.com/installation/centos (you only need to go as far as installing docker - you don't need to pull any images)
Then start it, and set it to start on boot.
Install Discourse
Follow the install instructions (start from here: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md#install-discourse). When you come to edit app.yml, under "## which TCP/IP ports should this container expose?" you want:
"8888:80" # fwd host port 8888 to container port 80 (http)Once it's all installed you can continue setting up your Discourse forum after the rest of the steps below.
Install HAProxy
On CentOS it's
yum install haproxy.Then edit your config, to something like this:
global # to have these messages end up in /var/log/haproxy.log you will # need to: # # 1) configure syslog to accept network log events. This is done # by adding the '-r' option to the SYSLOGD_OPTIONS in # /etc/sysconfig/syslog # # 2) configure local2 events to go to the /var/log/haproxy.log # file. A line like the following can be added to # /etc/sysconfig/syslog # # local2.* /var/log/haproxy.log # log 127.0.0.1 local2 # chroot /var/lib/haproxy pidfile /var/run/haproxy.pid maxconn 4000 user haproxy group haproxy daemon # turn on stats unix socket stats socket /var/lib/haproxy/stats defaults mode http log global option httplog option dontlognull option http-server-close option forwardfor except 127.0.0.0/8 option redispatch retries 3 timeout http-request 10s timeout queue 1m timeout connect 10s timeout client 1m timeout server 1m timeout http-keep-alive 10s timeout check 10s maxconn 3000 frontend http-in bind *:80 default_backend main_apache_sites # Define hosts acl host_discourse hdr(host) -i my_discourse_site.com # figure out which one to use use_backend discourse_docker if host_discourse backend main_apache_sites server server1 127.0.0.1:8080 cookie A check backend discourse_docker server server2 127.0.0.1:8888 cookie A checkEdit Apache config
Edit the Apache config to listen on port 8080:
Listen *:8080
Edit all of the existing virtual host files for each domain to reflect this change (first line should read)<VirtualHost *:8080>Install mod_extract_forwarded
You'll want to install this or everyone's IP will be of your servers. For CentOS see the guide here http://albertech.net/2014/03/preserve-remote-ip-address-with-haproxy-centos
Start HAProxy, restart apache and proceed to set up your discourse install
Set HAProxy to start to start on boot, start it, and then restart Apache to pick up your changes and you should be all sorted. All you've got left to do is set up your Discourse install.
Thanks to @macsmith71 for his help with HAProxy
If I've missed anything out please let me know, it's way past my bed time

Can ordinary users create their own API key? Or even see their API key?
I just created a dummy unprivileged user and I don't see any way to generate or see the API key, but perhaps I am missing something.

I see, by default, allowing users to register on their own, it doesn't showing up a captcha plugin.
What plugin recommended?
Also I will appreciate if there any better ways to do.

I'm getting complaints from my users that use Safari on Ipad Airs - when trying to post messages.
"There isnt any issue when i read posts or come on to this web site, but once i want to create a new topic, its a little bit broblem."
I noticed there are a few things a bit broken on iPad... The reply window keeps hiding under the keypad, and the quote from other posts function often takes ten or twenty tries to activate.
Switch to the mobile version of the website by pressing the 3 lines next to your avatar in the top right. Hey presto, ipad friendly. Or safari friendly. Or whatever.

Hm. It works slightly better in mobile view, but the quote function still works pretty inconsistently, it can take a lot of presses to get text select to come up, and then to get the quote reply box to come up.
