Hello,

I am just trying to create a new category using default settings but it just says "Sorry, an error has occurred." but not what type of error.

Any ideas?

Allow /log links to be shared to non-admins

The /log interface has a Share button for log entries that generates a URL with a random-looking id.
Visiting these URLs still requires you to login as an admin, so they are currently only helpful to point other admins to specific items.

Can we lift this requirement? I think that would be quite helpful especially here for Meta, since it would allow users to easily share suspicious log entries here if they have a problem.

Hello,

I have set the checkbox "If checked, you will be able to arrange categories into a fixed order. If unchecked, categories are listed in order of activity."

But I still can't figure out how to arrange the categories.

Is there any way to turn the forum off for everyone (but staff) so they only see a notice and can't browse or use the forum at all?

"War of the Words"

To allow Reply by Email to Work do you need to populate the reply by email address field:

What is the sense for a mod to "spam flag" a message but not take action immediately

If an admin or a mod flags a message "offtopic" but not takes action immediately, a red counter appears, which is seen immediately by the admin or mod who just flagged.

Suppose I, an admin, just flagged.
Now I see the red counter which ask me to review the flag and take action.

Once I tried to do so, other admins and mods asked me "why did I flag and not take any action".

And now I'm asking myself - what is the purpose and how it should work? How these two scenarios are different and where to use each.

Place category menu/breadcrumb in top bar next to logo if scrolled down

Currently, the category menu/breadcrumb bar (All categories // Latest // New (18) // Unread (7) // Top // Categories // Bookmarks) displays beneath the top bar (with the search, hamburger menu and user icon). These items (category menu/breadcrumb) disappear when scrolling down the page.

On a forum that uses Discourse, I suggested to place that in the top bar, just as the title & category of a thread is placed in the top bar when scrolling down. (They referred me here as they couldn't change it)

It would (IMHO):
- most importantly (for me): provide an indication of where you are (even when lower on the page)
- increase discoverability
- allow you to create a new issue if you find out at the bottom that the current thread list doesn't cover your problem
- save vertical screen space
- do stuff with one click less indeed (when not having to click on the hamburger menu)

So that it would look like this:

EDIT: Reason for me to post was the way it looks ugly on https://forum.fairphone.com/c/meta when scrolling down the category page.

Nobody warned about this gotcha. Now is there any way to recover app.yml? From built container?

Every time you change configuration and perform "launcher rebuild app" the docker creates the new image that takes 1.5 GB.
I was editing configuration and tuning the installation, and during one of rebuilds it just hanged forever.
After poking around for a while I found that there is no disk space left due to multiple old docker discourse images left form previous rebuilds.
This is rather big. I know, I know, of course you will say it's "user's fault", you should have known about Docker and so on. But we're installing Discourse and not Docker. It should not be implied that everyone is expert in docker.
The "launcher rebuild app" should include "docker rmi $(docker images -q -f dangling=true)" at the end to clear old images.

Anyway. While it was out of disk space I was editing containers/app.yml and it saved to zero-sized file.
After that I found out about Docker's images and deleted them.
But file is lost. Is there a way to recover it somehow? I still have my last good image of Discourse running.

How can I identify a topic created using the API?

Reply post isn’t always marked as ‘Reply-to’

Hello,

This is a duplicate of this thread.

The reason I'm posting this is because since I just made this account, I have no ability to send private messages, so I couldn't contact @codinghorror privately.

Before closing the above thread, he posted:

That link, however, is either broken or I have no access to it.

So, then, what IS the reason that sometimes when you reply to a person's post, your post is not marked "reply-to"? It is quite annoying.

Dismissing Akismet flags does not reduce total flags count

A little bug that isn't hurting anything.

Dismissing Akismet flags doesn't reduce the number in the circle that displays the total number of flags.

Dismissing "Needs Approval" flags does not have the same problem.

I certainly don't know how to replicate this bug here. Maybe, you could try yourself?

Credits to @AlbionsRefuge for the initial post! :wink:

FR: add :nl: emoji flag

Over at the Fairphone forum, there's some Dutchies that use :nl:, but it doesn't display as a flag. Would be nice if the Dutch flag could be included in the emoji set.

Maybe it's even an idea to create a new tab with only flags (rather than putting them under the travel tab).

Question is above. If not that's quite silly... cPanel is one of the most popular web hosts people use. If your looking to reach a bigger audience its essential.

When clicking the share-button on a posts, the links is helpfully selected for easy copying:

However, this stops working most of the time as soon as I click on anything on the page, e.g. the white background. Afterwards, the popups still open, but without the text being preselected. Reloading the page temporarily fixes this.

I'm running Chrome Version 48.0.2564.109 m (64-bit)

Is it possible to "cookie" visitors to your forum so that they may be remarketed to via google AdWords?

Typically - you need to plug in the google remarketing code on each page of a website - Was wondering if anyone is successfully doing this on their forum?
