Hello,

I have the following code - however, the background does not continue as the browser is scrolled down. What is wrong with this code?

Thanks in advance!

    html, body {
    height: 100%;
}

body:before {
    display: inline-block;
    width: 1125px; // default is 1110px
    min-height: 100%;
    height: inherit;
    background-color: white;
    content: " ";
    position: fixed;
    left: 50%;
    right: 0;
    transform: translate(-50%, 0);
    -webkit-transform: translate(-50%, 0);
}

@media (max-width: 1139px) and (min-width: 1000px)
{
    body:before {
        width: 1010px; // default is 995 px
    }
}

body {
  background-color: #0066CC;
  min-width: 100%;
  min-height: 100%;

Prevent content hidden by flags from being viewed

Is there is a way to customize the feature that allows content hidden by flags to be viewed?

For example, in our forum, I'd like to prevent content that has been hidden by flags from being viewed. We would assume that the post is inappropriate and therefore should not be accessible to users. This content could be made viewable after it is reviewed by a moderator or admin. We have users of many ages, and making sure that harmful content is not visible is super important.

Continuing the discussion from Flagged Contented that is Temporarily Hidden is still visible:

"Cool Down" Feature for Mods!

@BBJMAX wrote:

Hi! I was wondering if maybe moderators could have a "calm down time" sort of feature to use.

Not banning or suspending users, and therefore not affecting them in the future. Just not letting them post like flag e,t,c for a couple hours to help mods defuse a situation in an orderly manner. Maybe even an automated PM reminding them to remain respectful and rather than replying to anything just contact a Mod...

Something like that... smile wink

Feature suggestion: Content quality levels/curated tab

0

@Daniel_M wrote:

This expands on this post from two years ago.

So here is what I propose:
In addition to trust levels, discourse can support Content Quality Levels.


(Note: I did not make this graph, it was copied from the linked post)

Trust levels are already implemented, on the Y-axis.
People who consistently post quality content can ascend on the X-axis.

What would this do?
A new tab can be added ("Featured" or "Curated") which can be calculated by likes, date (more recent is better; maybe along a curve like y=sqrt(-(x-5)) or something similar), and manual influence by curators.

CQLs can be calculated by maybe (# of likes * avg. CQL of likers).
This can be accompanied by a badge (quality contributor, curator, quality curator) and increased flag priority/like limit.

This would be especially powerful when combined with something like this.

Additionally, a high CQL can be a factor in automatic promotion to TL4.

What exactly is holding Discourse from being OK with 512mb RAM?

@meglio wrote:

Fact 1. Ukraine is a very ITsh country. One of the leading outsource-force in the world. Yet the average salary in Ukraine for a regular person is $100/mo. Paying $120/year to host Discourse ($10/mo with DigitalOcean) is a lot.

Fact 2. Software developers in Ukraine earn from $800 to $2000 / mo. Paying $120/year can still be considered quite expensive by some.

Fact 3. As we used in PHP-world, most of software can easily run on 256MB RAM, making it very cheap to host a wordpress, a forum, a wiki and something else, all on a single cheapest host possible whatever hosting provider you choose.

I'm not familiar with RoR world, but just very curious - WHY and WHAT is exactly holding Discourse from being 512MB or even 256MB compatible? Is it mostly ineffectiveness of Ruby? Or something else?

Even though we all know that hardware is cheap, it is still not cheap in the eyes of some regions' representatives around the world.

Even though there is more and more RAM provided by the minimal hosting options among providers, PHP is still staying at a very basic minimum. Making it HHVM and using nginx really beats almost everyone in the script-world.

So, can you explain, please, why and what. And whether there are any chances that Discourse is going to become OK with 512MB for small to medium forums in the nearest feature?

Discourse in an iframe on iOS Bug

@louisd wrote:

Hey everyone,

Over at Grove Labs we're using Discourse to host our community discussions, and have a separate web app that users go to to control and manage their groves. Using Discourse has been a great experience so far — our users are active and engaged, both with company support and each other. I love seeing everyone share their experiences, give feedback, and come together over indoor farming heart

To try and make the transition between our app and our Discourse site smoother we've been experimenting putting Discourse in an iframe within our app. Most of our users install our web app to their home screen for a full page experience, and the feedback we've gotten of having it in an iframe instead of pulling them out to the browser has been great.

Unfortunately, iOS has a very annoying way of handling iframes. It forces them to expand to the full height of their content, as noted in this StackOverflow answer (and elsewhere), regardless of the styling you put on it. This wouldn't be the worst, except Discourse's infinite scrolling causes the page to grow and grow and grow, and while it's growing and you're trying to scroll it'll give very janky behavior like jumping back up to the top of the page, intermittent blank pages, trouble replying while replies are loading, etc.

Can anyone think of a good workaround for this? A couple I've thought of:

  • Modifying Discourse to have a "Click to Load" or something instead of automatically loading more posts and replies
  • Detecting if the user is on iOS and open Discourse externally if they are

Neither are great sadpanda Sure wish the Apple software engineers hadn't decided to forego standards and make their iframes behave erratically... Help is very appreciated, thanks!

Markdown interpreted within title attributes

Love your product and I intend to introduce it into production. However, security represent a major issue nowadays and I believe, beside UX/UI (which by the way I love what you did so far) should be top priority for Discourse community.

That's for, I wonder if there is any Responsible Disclosure. If not, I believe there should be one.

P.S. there were no tags for "Security", "Information Security" and so on.

What do you think guys on the way Medium approaches commenting?

This is an example:

Do you think that it's possible to creat a JS plugin for Wordpress to enable a commenting on a blog post like this supported by a Discourse back end?. I think it would be great to seed a forum and then, continue conviersations there.

Upgrade to 1.4.0beta7 from beta6 stalled

Continuing the discussion from Upgrade to 1.4.0.beta6 from beta4 stalled:

Me again and I have basically the same problem, but instead of beta4->5 I'm now at beta6->7. Instead of hanging later in the upgrade process it seems like it didn't even start the upgrade, as the console never showed any progress.
I haven't tried rebuilding the app yet, but I doubt that should be necessary on every upgrade or is that something to expect when running beta versions?

Ratio of topics to posts - and what does this tell us about our communities

0

@gingerling wrote:

Continuing the discussion from Detailed understanding of the dashboard statistics and data:

Hi, out of interest, can anyone tell me their ratio of Topics to Posts in discourse and on other forum software (perhaps what you used before)

In phpBB, my posts:topic ratio was something like 11:3 and in Discourse it is 13:2

I have been considering:

  • Why does discourse produce this particular ratio (fewer topics more replies)
  • If we can rule in/out certain features of discourse as being the cause of such changed
  • If a posts: topic ration can/should represent a solid, desirable goal for a community manager (based on the needs of their community)

Many of our problems with phpBB only became defined when I saw what discourse had to offer, so we didn't sit down and hammer out a list really: in general they centred around on the complexity of the forum structure and lack of space/incentive for a more social / random-creative-opportunity type dynamic in the forum.

I feel included to assume that the changed ratio represents a more social, chatty, fluid style of discussion in discourse than in phpBB. There are more replies to each topic.

I am intrigued by "fewer topics" too, one could say that in discourse people are more inclined to search for their answer first, or more successfully in their search? Perhaps the backup of "your topic is similar to?" in compose? Can we see how many posts are abandoned during that stage by clicking on a link in the similar topics box?
