When setting up Discourse I can pick and customize colors for categories, but when new posters come they are assigned a random color for their icon. Some of these icon colors clash with the rest of the page. Is there any way they can be customized?

I was interested in better utilizing the system account and I wanted to know if there was possibly a way to automate system account replies. Is there a way to post something, or even tag @system, and have the account automatically post a predetermined response?
Example:

I can multi-select posts, but changing their category doesn't always work.
I did it successfully with one category, but can't do it with another. There is no error or notification... just nothing happens.

Continuing the discussion from Full height, slide out hamburger menu:
Here, I will make my argument in support of the left-aligned hamburger menu convention, combined with a reworking of Discourse's default navigation of index pages.
Upon entering meta.discourse.org, you would see this:
Drilling into a Category, you see this:
- Hamburger menu has absorbed the top sub-navigation.
- Hamburger menu is shown by default on index pages (on Desktop, not Mobile)
- Fills the same need as the sticky navigation.
On topic pages it is hidden by default. Here's what it would look like if clicked:
- In the context of a topic the hamburger serves the exact same purpose as it did before: Jump anywhere you'd like. It's just way more familiar this way, as opposed to designing a separate menu serving up the same options.
The miscellaneous page links formerly kept in the hamburger menu has been moved to an even more subtle drop-down menu adjacent to the About link. (Though I think all of these pages should be discoverable via the About page itself as well, like some of those links already are.)
Noteworthy:
- This means more code re-use since there's no longer any special treatment required to make the category selection inside the old hamburger display in a smart way. The one-and-only Category drop-down should be made to scale well for forums big and small. Developers or designers should not have to worry about more than one category selector.
- If some forum puts Tags or Badges or what-have-you to special use, they should have an official way of adding proper, prominent navigational items for these, similar to how Meta has special shortcuts for Bugs and Features.
- I removed views to make room for the sticky sidebar.
- I think links like "Admin" and "Flags" ought to be moved to the Profile menu, which will hopefully consume the notifications menu.
Once again, Flarum is an obvious inspiration here. That being said, I don't like the way they turn the sidebar into a mini-topic-list once you've dug into a topic (Vanilla Forum also pulls a fast one on you in the sidebar sometimes). I want my left-hand sidebar to be my trusty lighthouse.
Essentially what we're getting out of this is VBulletin's old "quick jump menu", but on UX steroids.

Is it possible to set HTTP response headers in a plugin? I'm looking at the various plugins that exist, but they all seem built around having areas of the page to hook into. I also can't find any actual documentation on this...
I'd like to set
X-Robots-Tag noindex,nofollow;on unlisted topics, to actually make them unlisted...

Discourse team, can you please share how you host Discourse installations for your clients? Do you provision a separate VM for each client? Do you use Docker at all?

Noticed a small thing:
- You banner a topic. It shows as a banner to all users, great.
- You un-list topic because you don't want it to be a topic people reply to, per-se (like a welcome topic). Banner still shows, but not in topic list, great.
- You notice that anytime you go to pin a topic it says that there is currently no topic set as a banner, even though you clearly see the one that you just set as a banner.

I'm building a webapp and I want to integrate with Discourse so that Discourse handles auth, the user would log in through Discourse, and the app would rely on Discourse for auth and user database. How would I go about doing this?

Can't get my head around the "Top Referrers" table with Clicks and Topics columns. Could someone explain what this table exactly means?
Is this about number of clicks made by visitors on inter-links to navigate to a different topic, OR incoming clicks from outside world per author and per their ropic, OR something else?
P.S. Not sure if this explains it correctly to date?

One of my admins really messed stuff up and I can't get discourse to restart. Can I reinstall from scratch without touching the database. Leaving all the users/posts/files in place, but installing everything else as fresh?
Thanks

Spoilers are a huge deal. Especially for communities of fans who gather to celebrate certain works, and do not want these stories to be ruined for themselves or for others by spoilers.
Spoiler tags help to control problems that are caused by spoilers, but they are not always used correctly. Whether it be someone who didn't read the forum rules and guidelines, or didn't realise something was a spoiler, or simply just forgot, sometimes spoilers are left untagged.
I am proposing a new "Spoiler" category of flag with new function to help further control the problem of spoilers. This new flag would immediately hide a post when it is flagged by any member, not just a moderator. This way the spoiler would be hidden from view as soon as possible, and would been seen by as few people as possible.

I'm want to connect to Discourse via API. Didnt find any manuals yet. However, access to API only can be possible with Ruby? (I have ready-to-work PHP website which API needed for).
And also, I dont get , Discourse is really free? So I can just download it from Github and install&use it by myself?

Hi, I posted about I bug I had with regards to changing post ownership a while ago here: https://meta.discourse.org/t/re-assigning-post-ownership-keeps-posts-in-activity-feed/29411
Since then I've updated to a newer version with the fix (thanks for that by the way, I never got a chance to say it), but it doesn't appear to have changed any of the posts I made before the update. I've checked and re-assigning newly made posts works as it should, but the old ones still appear in my activity feed and post count when they shouldn't.
Would someone mind looking into this?
EDIT: Oh, and some further information, 'Topics' on my profile says I've made 21 topics, but clicking on it shows the 'No topics found' message, whereas 'Activity' shows and counts both my own replies and the 21 topics I started but changed the user of the opening post. Ideally, 'Topics' should say and display 0, while 'Activity' should just have my own replies, with a count reflecting only those.

When should I enable "Staff must approve all new user accounts" option?
I will for sure need this option, for example, in Simple Machines Forum, where many spam bots (?) registers, but what's the main benefit of enabling this in Discourse?
I hope my question is clear

Hello all,
A lot of my power users use flags to then comment on something about it being in the wrong topic area or even some resources to help in my response. I don't like "disagreeing" all the time to the flags because they are useful, but when I just agree, it also sends a PM to the user right?
Not sure the best way to handle this. Maybe there can be a feature to help power users/admins leave comments and notes kinda in the form of a flag but it could be positive or negative.
SEE SCREEN SHOT BELOW - when I click "Agree with Flag" does it send a PM?

I would love to see other people's workflows here around this.Cheers!
