I have to modify the default nginx config. But, after a rebuild, the modifications are not retained. Does anyone have a solution for this? And what's the differents between etc/nginx/conf.d/discourse.conf and etc/nginx/nginx.conf?
Hello, Newbie here I'd like to know if the default install by Bitnami on DigitalOcean is recommended by Discourse. And does it configure the server exactly as it is required by Discourse.
Or it is just something that just runs Discourse as the quickest and easiest way possible, and is not recommended for a large community? Many thanks!
For me, discourse is a good place to create posts and discuss, but it's not so good at showing the posts. I am wondering if it's possible to show the selected best posts on a separate view, for example WordPress? I know there is an extension WP-discourse, it seems that it supports to publish the posts on WP to discourse, not the other way. Or is it possible or easy to create a beautiful post like the top POST on Medium?
Measuring from my own site on a text-only topic, no cache, I'm getting 4.3 MB. At 56k simulated speeds in Chrome dev tools, it churns for 15-20 minutes and times out, less than a quarter of it loaded. (I'm still trying to find out why my site is heavier than meta... ) I have yet to successfully load a page at this speed.
I'm not saying there are lots of dial up folks out there. But there are a few left, by choice or necessity.
On top of that, folks throughout the developing world have limited access speed and data caps - not to mention under-powered hardware. A simpler, lighter interface will open the door to them as well.
Obviously we aren't catering to these folks... but since we already serve up an stripped down HTML version, making it functional will let them participate.
Here's some other big sites that present a functional stripped down version.
I think Jeff and Régis may know/remember what it looked like before (for comparison to the expected outcome). My background is a seamless pattern made to take advantage of the card's tiling behavior.
im thinking about building a community around discourse, yet there seem to be some difference in speed from the discourse site forum to other discourse forums i notest.
how can i make the discourse speed the most optimal? something to do with server? (the users aare gonna be only locals) optimaizing?
I am embedding discourse for comments to my website and this is automatically created on the Forum.
Is there a way for me to hide new comments from the "new" top-menu? I have already clicked on "Suppress this category from the homepage." which works for other top-menus except the "new" top-menu
I have also tried new,-Comments on the settings page and this is not working.
Post a message with a link. Somebody replies by email to it. When Discourse handles the email reply, it improperly includes the link from the previous message. Here's an example:
Here on meta (as well as on other Discourse-powered forums) I see that the text in post bodies gets a little bit blurry when I hover my mouse over them or while I'm scrolling through a page. After a short while the text is once again crisp, but my eyes have yet to re-adjust to it. It looks like the issue is related to this one.
The fading goes away when I add the following bit of CSS to .topic-body .regular using the element inspector:
FWIW: I am using Chrome 46.0.2490.71 m (64-bit) on a 64 bit installation of Windows 10 Enterprise, using up-to-date nVidia graphics drivers. The idea of changing things in Windows' registry does not really appeal to me, as I am happy about how the fonts look in other applications such as Word, or mIRC.
I like the user directory page a lot. I don't particularly like that anyone can pull a list of all of the users, although I appreciate the bot-blocking. In addition to the setting to enable the user directory, I would like to request a setting to have that page only visible to logged-in users. The option of minimum trust-level to see the directory list would be frosting.
Keep up the great work guys...discourse is really beautiful.
I have read a few posts here like the one I quoted where @codinghorror says that "IDENTITY = EMAIL".
I'm not really sure about that myself though so I started a new topic to talk about that idea.
Here are a few points that make me question that idea: 1. In Discourse, you have an email address and a user name. In fact you can tag someone by their user name. You can't do that with their email. 2. Email is just an address tied to a mailbox similar to regular mail. People don't usually associate someone's identity with their street address. Just like a street address mailbox is shared by all that live on the street address, email addresses are not a one to one relationship with a mailbox. 3. Discourse doesn't show a user's email address publicly. So unless you are saying the person's identity is private.
