Hey there,
in our forum ( http://discuss.gradle.org ) we'd like to filter for all topics with no replies older than a day or two. It seems that min_age:1 is not respected when configured in a query. sample query:
https://discuss.gradle.org/search?q=min_age%3A2%20status%3Anoreplies%20order%3Alatest
Am I missing something obvious here or can you acknowledge that this is a bug?
cheers,

Not sure what you guys have done with core, but I love the fact that I can now update custom CSS on a live site without the live site temporary reverting to the default CSS - and in turn needing the user to refresh before the new customised CSS takes effect.
Seamless.
Very nice.
To understand what I mean.
Open two windows.
One with the custom CSS editor and one with the live site.
Make changes to the CSS, save it and...
Voila, the live site updates in front of your eyes. No fuss.
The Discourse way!

Discourse and Quandora
Questions without clear Answers
Quandora is modeled after Q&A systems like StackOverflow which heavily value facts over opinions, and questions which have a clear answer. On systems like StackOverflow, the rules for what types of questions can be asked are strict because they only want questions that have a clear answer in order to build a reliable knowledge base.
You are likely to find that most of the questions you would post on Quandora do not really fit the Q&A model. Much of what seem like candidate questions for a Q&A system in a community does is really a continual attempt to refine their collective opinions about a variety of things. Discourse is a much better fit for these kinds of discussions and exchanges of different and evolving points of view.
Discussions take place chronologically
On Quandora and other Q&A systems, the natural chronological format in which discussions actually take place is disturbed by two things: unnecessary threading of comments under ‘answers’, and the shifting order of answers as votes change their rank.
Deeply-nested threading and upvoting of comments within topics on sites like reddit suffer from the same issue.
On Discourse, every post follows another as it naturally unfolds chronologically. Reply indicators and in-line quotes help keep disjointed parts of the conversation together without disturbing the natural flow of conversation.
What about the existing content in a Q&A system like Quandora?
If you have existing content in Quandora, a basic implementation of an importer now exists to migrate this content to Discourse.
It's a little odd at first to think of trying to do so given the mismatch in the data models, but I was pleasantly surprised when I first tried it. It really proved in many cases how much more natural the flow of discussion was after converting it to the format of a Discourse topic.

I've been trying to get a glimpse into engagement of users by peeking at the admin/users page every now and then. (I may post a larger topic on this sometime soon).
One thing I've noticed is that the
last_seen_datefor a number of users updates occasionally without any other change in activity. What should I make of this?Do they just have a tab open somewhere on the home page somewhere?
It bumps them to the top of that list, and then I have to kind of mentally filter them out as I'm looking for trends in behavior for people who have engaged recently...

TL;DR. On the stable branch, there's been for two weeks an unreleased security fix. I'm not gonna install it unreleased, because it's not "absolutely obviously safe" (see below for what I mean). Should I worry?
Two weeks ago, @sam added a security patch on the
stablebranch:
Then bugfixes came. But no release. This happens sometimes, but this time it's taking longer.
So my Discourse production instance says it's up-to-date, but I can still upgrade from the Docker Manager page (
/admin/upgrade). Should I?Pros:
- there are commits on stable since days
Cons:
- judging from the later bugfixes on the patch, and assuming that some tests caught the bugfix, it's possible to commit directly tostable(rather than through feature branches) commits that don't pass testing.
- since integration testing is not integrated with GitHub's status API, I don't immediately know ifstablepassed tests.Summing up:
- delaying the update is probably paranoia in this case, but IIUC some paranoia is generally required for running production systems.
- while this is nitpicking, maybe the branching model for stable branches could be improved.UPDATE: In fact, I just learned that Discourse uses Travis, and the
stablebranch stopped having green builds ages ago. I guess I'm sticking to paranoia and not upgrading for now.

When one selects text and clicks "quote reply", it leaves the cursor right after the closing bracket. This is highly annoying when selecting a bunch of pieces of text to reply to (as one is encouraged to by the awesome "Hey, rather than making a million replies, you could, you know, do them all in one message" prompt).
Sticking a couple extra returns in would save a bunch of fiddly find-the-bracks-and-press-return-so-I-can-write-a-reply-ing.

See screenshot. In my community, members often like to use salutations like "dear friends" at the start of their posts. This looks clumsy and takes up valuable space in digests. Suggest filtering these out or simply combining a short first paragraph with the next one, which usually gets right into the topic at hand.

Definition
1) An option to send a "direct invitation" to somone that likely would be able to answer it
2) An enginee to find/filter those specific people.Use Case
I whish to implement Discourse in my University Course Website, which can be defined as a small and closed comunity (about 1000 students). I predict that people wouldn't use it in a regular basis and would only open the website when they needed an answer. In this scenario, the chances of a question being seen and answered by the right person would be low, not achieving the full potential of the application. I believe this feature would be help a lot.
Analogous Feature
Quora has this feature, and they provide interesing filtering capability, by "User Engagement" (statistics) and "Bio Profile" (user-defined keywords). That's Quora's UX:

Continuing the discussion from Improve performance of Topic load - ORDER BY RANDOM:
The added index is great, but it excludes PMs

Since we have suggested topics on the PM page (since when?) the performance vary a lot (sub second to 30 secods) on this query (on a dedicated PostgreSQL 9.4 Server with 12GB RAM).
So what do you think @sam should we create another one for PMs? (That way we don't bloat the original one, and doesn't add penalties for small communities with less than 100k users/ 100k PMs)

I'm in the midst of working on a plugin that has me changing the values in a custom_field that are used to calculate a few user methods. I'm then passing those methods to the current user serializer.
In the process I have an ajax call that updates one of these user custom_fields. But that doesn't update the currentUser object on the front-end. I'm still a bit new to Ember but is there a way to reload that currentUser object?
This may be a bit difficult to follow. Here's the source code I'm currently working with:

Slowing hacking away at a means to automate getting student info from Discourse into my grade book . . .
I'm trying to get a list of members with a given badge. I've tried things like

But that gives only information about the badge itself.
Another useful pull would be all of the badges earned by members of a given group.

Is there a way so when you click on a topic to view it the default view will be on the OP, not the last response? This is probably a feature of Discourse but it's annoying to have to scroll to the top of threads, especially stickies or posts with lots of information.
At the very least this should be an option to change somewhere, I was surprised nobody has asked this before

We're sorry, but your email message to ["info@ourdomain.ca"] (titled test message) didn't work.
Your account does not have the privileges to post new topics in that

Hi there,
Today I started getting a 502 bad gateway error on my Discourse website for no particular reason (hadn't updated or changed any settings). I tried rebuilding the app and I got a disk space error, so I cleaned up some old Docker installations following the instructions on this thread. Now I'm not getting disk space errors anymore, but when I try to rebuild I get the following:

We have a couple of topics that we create through the API that automatically get closed after a week due to the time sensitivity of the content. Although this works great for us, we've noticed that those closed topics still sort of clutter our homepage (which is set to Latest) when scrolling down a couple of pages.
I supposed we could have another script move those topics via the API to an archival category that is suppressed from the homepage, but it would be great if there were an admin setting to suppress or exclude automatically closed topics (or even just regular closed topics) from the Homepage.
