Navigation widget broken on closed topics?

@clay wrote:

While I have an inherent feeling this is incorrect (internal bogeyman, I guess...) I've tried this several times and it hasn't worked.

The "navigation widget thing":

If I try to use the navigation widget thing on this closed topic, it does not jump me to the bottom of the topic. It also appears never to show the correct numbers in terms of which post I'm viewing.

When I hop to an open topic, it works as expected. Is anybody else seeing this behavior? Bug?

Changing topic category when manually changing post watch status makes topic new again

As requested by @techAPJ, continuing the discussion from Changing topic from one watched category to another watched category makes topic "new" again:

Summary:

Another mod at Stonehearth reported to me some strange events when recategorizing a topic. Details are below:

  1. A user created a topic in the #suggestions category.
  2. A few other users replied
  3. The mod, whose preferences are set to track topics in that category, manually set the topic to watch.
  4. The mod replied more than once, as did others.
  5. I replied.
  6. More users replied.
  7. An admin replied that a fix was being developed.
  8. I recategorized the topic to the #suggestions:added-suggestions sub-category.

Steps to reproduce:

Unknown, steps above may work, but we have not attempted repro as this is a live site.

Expected Results:

Manually set notification type not changed, previously read topic not marked as new.

Actual Results:

The topic showed as "new" (but all posts read) for the mod. Additionally, the notification type was reset from watching to normal.

Version:

Discourse 1.5.0.beta9 (discourse.stonehearth.net)

Reinstalling Discourse but saving the data?

Hello,

I installed Discourse quite some time ago, but the anonymous posting feature does not work - it never has. My site is updated to the newest version as well.

Is it possible to install Discourse again and carry the old data over?

Privacy - Email of deleted users displayed in staff logs

0

@jomaxro wrote:

Summary:

When a Discourse account is deleted (by user or system) the email of the account is displayed in the logs. In all other cases emails are hidden and a log is made when they are viewed.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a user account.
  2. Don't activate it for 24 hours
    OR
    Delete your new account.

Expected Results:

Account detention is logged in staff logs. Email address is not visible.

Actual Results:

Account detention is logged in staff logs. Email address is visible.

Notes:

Seems odd to me that in every other context logs are made when emails are viewed, but here the email address is visible without any logging.

Possibilities to sync Discourse with mailman mailing list

@Ad_Huikeshoven wrote:

Discourse looks great to me. Some other people are used to their mailing list subscription (mailman). There is a pilot installation https://discourse.wmflabs.org/ to test discourse as an alternative to the wikimedia-l mailing list. Reply by email and creation of new post has been set up for this discourse installation. It works. Now some one asks to sync wikimedia-l mailing list with the discourse forum.

What if some configures Discourse to use the same mail address as the mailing list? Would that work? Would that disrupt threads? What are your recommendations?

About deleting threads

@SpiritFryer wrote:

Hello,

TL; DR: My thread is gone. Why?

Yesterday I made a thread in in the bug section asking about why sometimes when I used the reply-to function, the "this post is a reply-to..." disclaimed doesn't always appear (it doesn't appear if you are replying to the post directly above yours). It was a duplicate post - which I clarified. The reason I posted a duplicate was because the "original" was closed with a link pointing to a yet older thread. The link was broken (or I didn't have permission to view it), and so held no answers for me.

Shortly afterwards, I received an answer I was satisfied with. Today, someone posted their opinion on this matter on a different website where I had enquired about this issue, so I wanted to give them a link to the answer I had received here - except, the thread that I made here is gone.

Why is it gone? The only thing I can think about is that it was perhaps deleted?

Indeed, I found this. Assuming this is what happened to my thread; why would a thread with useful information in it be deleted? Judging from responses to my thread on this other forum, many people had noticed this weird "feature" and wondered why the "reply-to" didn't appear.

Why couldn't just the thread be locked, since it was resolved? Then others with a similar question could have found their answer simply by searching the forum, and I could have linked to it to back my explanation up, instead of now having to say something like "I found out on the Discourse forum about bla, but I can't give you a link since the thread was deleted as it was considered an 'accident'".

Also, my thread wasn't the only one that had disappeared. The thread I had duplicated is gone too. Now there is literally no post talking about the quirk in the "reply-to" feature, unless I fail at searching. Sure, it's not a huge deal, but I'm sure someone else will eventually ask about it, since it is weird.

The hosting tiers each have a target number of pages views. If someone is already hosting their own instance and considering migrating, where would they look to find the current value of this number as interpreted by the hosting team?

Can I specify random logos?

@AstonJ wrote:

Is it possible to (via a plug-in if necessary) randomly choose a logo (and small logo) from a set of 3 every time someone starts a new session (or until their browser refreshes the assets for the logo)?

The Ruby code is trivial - but how can we incorporate that into Discourse? :confused:

@Alankrit_Choudh wrote:

How to repro. Firefox Only (latest)

  1. Open any image from imgur/imageshack etc..
  2. Copy Image. (Do not copy image URL/Just copy image)
  3. Paste the image on your latest upgraded Discourse community, Instead of uploading the image, the link of the image gets copied.

On Chrome you get the image uploaded to the community. Firefox latest image upload does not take place.

Apache webserver already running

I have successfully install discourse with docker on a clean install of debian.

I want to get it on to my production webserver. It already hosts a few websites, and it is a pretty beafy server, so I am reluctant to spin up a new machine just for discourse.

I am sure there is an easy solution for this. I have ran into a few posts that deal with nginx. My server is running apach2. Can someone advise me the best way to install discourse on to a webserver already running web sites

many thanks in advance

Is it possible to remove the requirement for a Topic description?

When a new topic is created, there are often times when the extra description is not needed. From what we can see, it looks like Topic posts have to have a minimum of at least one character. Is there a way to exclude the topic description requirement entirely?

I just went to a forum to try to solve a problem with a piece of software I used. And WOW. That forum is horrible. A year ago I'd not have noticed.
