Is there a way to hide this button or make it include a token or something, atm it shows it, then fails when you click because you're not logged in.

Besides that, can I somehow disable the "previous replies" ?

Would it be possible to get the name of the group in the subject for an email notification (when applicable)? This would make it possible to filter it client side.

Hi-
Does anyone know how it might be possible to use SSO with Squarespace? I know that with Squarespace a 3rd party service is necessary to handle users/login.
I checked with Sentry and they do not do SSO. Are there other 3rd party user systems?

Thank you!
Matt

Hack to get around editing a poll after 5 minutes, what are the implications?

Continuing the discussion from Cannot edit a poll after 5 minutes as an administrator:

In the linked topic, the discussion surrounds the fact that admins cannot update, edit, or add polls after 5 minutes.

Well I really want to add a poll to a question that was added months ago that would ask whether user's found the question useful.

In the backend I changed the created_at time of the post to Time.now and then edited the post and added the poll. I then immediately reverted the created_at time to what it was before.

Yay, it totally works, I added a poll. BUT, I am weary, what are the implications of what I have done...

Peer-review functionality

I would like to propose a new approach to filtering content in online debate forums;
a peer-review process.
This would be drawing on the same principles as utilized in scientific journals.

When a posting is submitted to a forum it would automatically be sent out to three
forum members, they would be asked to judge the quality of the post by a
defined set of criteria and be given opportunity to give feedback to the
author. Based on the review score the post would be either accepted and posted
or declined. The review would be anonymous in the sense that the identity of
the reviewers is not revealed.

This peer-review function would be intended for forums with high level of
participation. At forums such as those hosted by The Economist and NyTimes one
can find debates running into many hundred entries. With huge variations in quality it quickly
becomes very hard for the reader to follow. With peer-review you should be able
to weed out lower quality content leaving you with a debate that is easy to
follow, but at the same time gives everyone the opportunity to participate.

Such a peer-review process would in a sense distribute the moderator work to all forum
members. One would probably however like to leave some room for
moderator/editor intervention in case something that should not have been
accepted has been approved.

Such a debate would run slower than a conventional debate forum since you need time
for the peer-review, but I expect many would accept the trade-off for higher
quality. It would for example still be much quicker than submitting
letters-to-the-editor to a newspaper or magazine.

The review task would be a new task for forum members, but it would not be a very time
consuming one. One could link the number of review assignments a member
receives with the number of postings that a member has, so that more active
members have a higher review load. Again I think this is something I think many
would agree to if they perceive that it results in high quality debates.
Scientists accept the task of peer-review as something that goes with the
process of science.

I can think of a number of variations and refinements to such a peer-review scheme, what I
have outlined would be the basic implementation.

I do realize that it implementing this requires some work, but I do think it opens
up for debates with higher quality, more participation and greater readership.

Looking forward to hearing what you think about implementing this in Discourse.

Hi!
Is it possible to add code in the "Create a New Topic" text box? I have coded a calendar sign-up that I was hoping to embed, so every person who posts a new topic can fill it out. Thanks so much!

Scrolling issue in Chrome?

@avd_almeida wrote:

Apologies if I'm posting in the wrong place, but I'm having issues with Chrome recently. When opening a thread, instead of viewing the last unread post, it appears to open at random posts and then begins to scroll back until it eventually reaches the very beginning of the thread, even if this goes back days / weeks / months. The screen can also become unresponsive while this is happening.

I've recently been given a new laptop at work, an HP running Windows 10. I have disabled Flash in Chrome and the problem appears to have resolved itself for the moment. I guess I could just leave Flash permanently disabled but was wondering if there was anything else I should look at in the event I ever wanted to use it again?

Any _user_ setting to automatically show new topics?

Currently when new topics pop in, a blue bar pops up that says "x new or updated topics. Click to show.". I keep one of the Discourse forums I use up on a second monitor so I can easily see when new posts come in, but when I'm playing a fullscreen game I have to alt+tab out of it (alt+tabbing out of fullscreen games is annoying) to click that header. Is there any way for me to have posts automatically come in without me clicking the blue bar? I'd like to just glance over at the active threads and alt+tab out when I see one I'd like to participate in. I recently started using an auto-refresh plugin I used on that forum prior to the switch to Discourse, but if there's a way to have new topics automatically come in I'd gladly use that in place of the auto-refresh plugin.

Deleting a post should require confirmation

@Izzion wrote:

We have had several users experiencing problems with accidentally deleting posts (especially while on mobile -- on most mobile browsers, the delete button renders in a spot that is very easy to hit with your right thumb while scrolling). As is, the delete post operation does not prompt for any confirmation (as opposed to editing or creating a new post, which requires a minimum of two clicks, in different spots within the UI).

I realize this isn't exactly an earth shattering pain point, since you have the option to "undelete" the post for quite some time (24 hours with the default config)... but it has caused us some rather spectacular issues in our forum games category, where there is a global rule against editing posts (for game continuity reasons), and the delete button is basically an instant, irrevocable edit pencil on the post.

I have confirmed via try.discourse.org that the delete button functions without a confirmation prompt on the current version.

User to select profile image from admin-defined list

@okeegan wrote:

It would be great to have an option to:

  • Restrict a users' ability upload their own image and instead to select their profile image from a list.
  • Allow admins to create/edit a list of links to images in the admin, or upload the image choices themselves for the users.

Is a feature like this more suited to a plugin than core functionality?

Paid: update the Zendesk plugin to convert pending posts

We're looking to be able to redirect pending posts into Zendesk tickets. Moving them to direct messages would be OK too, but Zendesk tickets would be best.

We're looking to sponsor the improvement of Shiv's existing Zendesk Plugin, to ensure that's capable of redirecting posting posts into tickets.

This would be an open source project, we just want to see it done sooner than later. Thanks!

(Please DM proposals.)
