Continuing the discussion from Descriptions for custom badges not showing up on the new badge pages:
This fixes the badges landing page, but not the specific page for each badge - see screenshot. I got the scribe badge today and was looking to find out what it was about, clicked the link and got no useful description. As in yesterday's post, this affects only custom badges.

My admin picture shows as letter and when I go to my user preferences am unable to change my profile picture as there's no edit symbol (pencil icon) shown next to it. While my forum's users are able to do it. Why is this? What am i missing?

The admins for a new forum we are putting up are curious to know the logic behind when "view X hidden replies" appears. I'm having trouble giving a definitive answer and can't figure out the trend. Can anyone clarify?

Continuing the discussion from Embedding custom created Google Maps:
One more tiny, awesome detail of Discourse: Because gmaps embeds capture mousewheel events, there's an invisible shade over the embed that you need to click to remove. Click or tap once, and it's usable. Don't click or tap, and you can scroll on by.
Here, test it out:

First of all, I
discourse and, this is not just another article complaining the mobile compatibility of this wonderful software. I wrote this because of my concern about the future of Discourse. If this article is shown offensive in some ways, please Be Agreeable, Even When You Disagree.
I met Discourse five months ago. At that time I think I eventually find a software that could make a different to my forum. It is simple with powerful features that I never seen on any others forum softwares. After time I also discovered that many big companies are using Discourse for their forum too. I was so happy that we made the same choice.
But after a while, when I Google Discourse iOS/Android App, I didn't find anything useful but I saw @codinghorror 's article about his opinion about App. App-pocalypse Now. As a indie developer I was shocked by his view on mobile app. I think I should write an article on that, proving why Discourse Do Need An App.
It is simple to think of it. What we are doing with internet, what we are doing with softwares, what we are doing with every pixel we see on the screen. Through what? We can't just access/use/see them. We do those things through a device. Even the browser you use to see this post, whatever it is, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, those are all apps also. Or if you want to argue that, let's just say those are all native programs.
So, what do you think. A webpage or an App, could use most of the device? Absolutely Apps, because they go native. They could push notifications right on your phone, they are more easily to access, they are more natural to play with, because they are natively on your device.
What I'm saying isn't that webpages aren't important and, I believe @codinghorror also motioned Discourse is just like an app, but running without the iOS/Android part (JavaScript). Webpages are wonderful for search engine when people are looking for resources. But Apps always being the real deal. There is a reason why Facebook, Twitter are prompting their Apps more than their website. And there are many social networks even just focus on Apps. Like Instagram and Snapchat. Because they realized the power of Apps.
Yes Discourse isn't running completely on the server, it has the native parts. But this website has an App, do you want it? Yes. As long as it could provided me more easily access to the contents. As long as I could reply faster. As long as I could get notifications sooner. As long as it is a good App.
Or let's say, when you opened an app, the app said this app has a website, do you want to open the URL? Woah what is this, no man I'm enjoying the native world.
Hopefully this article won't be deleted. Again I love Discourse, it is a software with love, too. I want to help Discourse and thousands or maybe millions developers here to recognize and pick up the power of Apps.

I am building a web site heavily based on images and videos that people will comment on. There will also be text and audio as subjects of discussion, which perhaps I will also have people represent with images. So I will have to build a gallery application.
I followed the beginners plugin guide and downloaded some plugins.
I guess I will make a Handlebar template with plugin outlets in spots where I want to inject my stuff. Then I guess I write Javascript to do the actual image gallery (or more probably take one of the many free Javascript image galleries out there).
Am I way off base here or is that it?

We are migrating from an old forum solution (based on Teamforge) over to Discourse, and we have a few scripts and tools that we'd like to re-write to use the Discourse REST API. Being notoriously lazy, I'm wondering if there is a Swagger, WADL or simiar machine-readable description of the API that I can use to generate clients?
I know @fantasticfears has an embryo of a Swagger definition on Github, which he posted about here: https://meta.discourse.org/t/a-community-effort-to-improve-discourses-documentation/29129/18 but as far as I can see it only describes which calls are available, not what they return. I'd like to generate a complete strongly typed library.
If no such description exists, I think it would save me time to write a Swagger specification for at least the parts of the API I need to work with. I'll make sure to post about it here if I do.

Hello, I've had two occurrences of people hitting "delete" in Customize/CSS or Customize/Colors to "cancel changes" (i.e., a no-op). I also noticed an inconsistency between the two pages that I think could be bettered.
E.g.,;
- move delete near the customized element name
(was: where "export" is on Customize/CSS, see next reply)- move import / export where import is on Customize/Colors
- move the Save etc. toolbar on Customize/CSS where it is on Customize/Colors
- make the "New" button green on both pages
The result would look something like this:

This was originally used an example for these discussions / feature requests:
Considering the amount of interest in these kind of things, it's probably better if this is just made into a proper plugin with some settings for showing the following in topic list items:
A thumbnail of any images in the first (or other) post
An excerpt of the first post (or solution in a solved topic) in the topic
I'll add these as settings over the next few days.
Any other topic list candy that should be added?

I have a forum where users are now posting many different topics that can come under different categories crowding the site. As i go along creating appropriate categories for some of the un categorized posts, I wonder if it is possible to let my users only choose certain categories to follow. And so when they login they are not bombarded by posts from 10 different categories they aren't interested in.
For exmaple in my forum there are travel, books & literature, writers club, music, short film makers. Of that am only interested in books & literature and writers club categories so I want to follow them while hiding posts from the others.

My Discourse works well except that it's generating a lot of erorrs in sidekiq for www.gravatar.com
I captured my screen:
I tried to open "www.gravatar.com" in my browser but failed so I know it's blocked from my network - I'm from China - you know some web sites are disabled here for top secrets that only the government knows.
So could you turn www.gravatar.com as an option? For example, just give me a default avatar when I don't want one from www.gravatar.com? I think that would be very helpful for Chinese users.
Thanks.

Sorry for being the niggler on the newly implemented badge directory - looks really great and I very much appreciate the improvement. Thank you!
One small issue remaining is that if you create a custom badge description (as of today, there is long description and short description available to be edited - thanks!) and include linked text, it just links straight to the badge and not to the actual link destination. This problem is not exhibited for default badges like guidelines and I'm not able to replicate it here on meta.
But on my site, try clicking on the "Read the FAQ" badge and you'll see what happens. Once there on the Read FAQ badge page, you can click again on the link and it takes you to the actual FAQ. I only have the description field filled out, not the long description field.
Just updated to latest and am at v1.5.0.beta13b +155.

I just noticed that with the 1.5b13 update the horizontal lines in between posts have disappeared in the mobile view. This has happened here and on my site very recently, as my other instance updated just a couple of days earlier still has them.
Me & my staff feel that the lines serve a good purpose in the mobile view, improving readability. Use this to get them back.
