Hi,
I've a big board with a database of over 8GB size with vBulletin 4 and I'm evaluating to switch my forum to Discourse.
So, I'm trying to convert my vB4 db to Discourse: how to do this? I've noticed the script at this link https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/script/import_scripts/vbulletin.rb but I don't know how to execute it and what it needs.
Is there any guide about vB4->Discourse conversion?
(Actually, i've any experience with Ruby and Docker).

What I can not figure out is what should be setting 'suppress_welcome_message' It is possible that I have something setup incorrectly about the accounts that is causing this but I can not see what controls the value of suppress_welcome_message

The company that runs Discourse is "Civilized Discourse Construction Kit, Inc." One of the primary roles of Discourse is to help promote civilized discourse, especially as expressed in the default FAQ.
This is a Civilized Place for Public Discussion
Please treat this discussion forum with the same respect you would a public park. We, too, are a shared community resource — a place to share skills, knowledge and interests through ongoing conversation.
These are not hard and fast rules, merely aids to the human judgment of our community. Use these guidelines to keep this a clean, well-lighted place for civilized public discourse.
Lately I've been thinking about the concept of "tone policing," as expressed, for example, in this comic.
If you Google for tone policing you'll find a lot more discussions of this.
Here's another one, in text. http://tooyoungforthelivingdead.tumblr.com/tone-policing
Tone policing assumes that the oppressive act is not an act of aggression, when it very much is. The person who was oppressed by the action, suddenly is no longer a victim, but is “victimizing” the other person by calling them out. Now, I’m not saying it’s okay to be abusive, or oppressive in response to a person who fucks up. But anger is valid. Anger is valid, anger is important, anger brings social change, anger makes people listen, anger is threatening, and anger is passion. Anger is NOT counterproductive; being “nice” is counterproductive. Nobody was ever given rights by politely asking for them. Politeness is nothing but a set of behavioral expectations that is enforced upon marginalized people.
(emphasis theirs)
From time to time, folks on our Discourse forum have expressed pretty heated anger about discrimination, oppression, or other unfair BS they've experienced. Sometimes, as angry people tend to do, they hurt other people's feelings by expressing their anger. (And in at least some of those cases, the angry folks have later expressed regret about their choice of words, though certainly not in all cases.)
What's weird about the role of the moderator is that arguably the whole purpose of having a moderator is to moderate the tone of the discussion, even to "police" the tone. Online, some people are uncivil for no reason other than to be hurtful, and the role of a moderator and civility guidelines is to promote healthy discussion.
I optimistically think that moderators are usually more helpful than harmful. Moderators sometimes have to delete/ban some disgusting stuff that I feel no qualms about deleting.
But sometimes, I worry, that by requiring that the tone of our conversations remain civil, we're interfering with the expression of righteous anger which should hurt our feelings.
Please treat this discussion forum with the same respect you would a public park.
We do a lot of things in a public park; not just healthy conversation, but protests, even angry ones. A public park is often the canonical example of where we have to support the free-speech rights of people to make political remarks that sting.
I'm still working through what I think about all this. I feel like all of these ideas are coherent:
- Civility rules are inherently harmful, because they forbid marginalized people from productively expressing their anger.
- Tone policing is what we do; if this prevents marginalized people from expressing righteous anger, that's not our problem. They can go find another space (an actual public park) to protest angrily.
- The role of the civility rules is to forbid assholes, but to allow righteous anger; we'll have to use our best judgment to distinguish them. (Perhaps the guidelines should say more to clarify this, and help distinguish the cases?)
What do y'all think?
P.S. I recognize that this thread runs some risk of becoming a political discussion in itself. For example, some of the articles I've linked are from feminist resources, and you might have opinions you'd like to share about feminism, content warnings, or political correctness. That's not what this thread is about. There are uncivil marginalized voices across the political spectrum, left and right. Maybe you think some of those voices should be marginalized, but this is not the thread to discuss which of those are which!

Continuing the discussion from Suspend as way to expire membership:
After suggesting to another user that instead of suspending a user they could put them in a group and change category permissions. I recently came across my own use case for this, where I needed to add some users to my instance and only give them access to one category. It does not seem like there is an easy way to do so, without modifying the permissions for every other category, and putting all other users in their own group. Having the ability to say that membership in a group prevents viewing of a category would be very useful.

Continuing the discussion from "Title is invalid; try to be a little more descriptive" - why?:
The issue mentioned in the linked post fixed the issue with periods, but it turns out colons are still an issue. This prevents titles containing code syntax e.g. "ContentProdiver:IsLoaded(content)"
It'd be great if colons could receive the same treatment as periods.

Since I began using Discourse, the Twitter Card image meta URL has always used relative URLs for topics with uploaded images. I think Facebook can handle relative image URLs, but Twitter does not seem to like them, so no image is displayed in tweets.
I've been working around this by using absolute URLs for images in posts, which worked up until last week. Now, even if the post uses the absolute URL, the image's relative URL is still used in the Twitter Card image meta tag. Like in this topic, for example.
I've tried setting
DISCOURSE_CDN_URL, which didn't seem to affect this tag.DISCOURSE_RELATIVE_URL_ROOTis set because we're running in a subdir. If I remember correctly, when I tried changing this is to be an absolute URL, it broke the URL structure for many links.Any idea how to address this?

We have a big poll going on in our Discourse forum and votes will likely keep rolling in for a couple days. After re-checking the thread around 10 times, I started to notice something with the poll. Even though I had already voted, the poll was prompting me to enter my votes again instead of showing me the results.
Chances are, if I've already voted on a poll I want to see the results instead of change my vote, so it's better ux to show the results by default for users who've already voted.

Hi,
We've just started using your forums for Drowned in Sound and the results are good, but there's a maddening issue around the special feature to do 'Hide Details'. Where you click to show stuff.
I mean using this:
Summary
Some stuff I'm hiding
It'll look fine in the preview but when you post it's not right. You can quote the post and the code is fine.
Examples:
and there's a link in there from use Japes to a whole thread where he can't seem to make the hide details work.
Anyway, has anyone else spotted this or know why it might be?
Thanks in advance

BUT when i do the same thing in docker env, It changed
I have no idea what to do with it, but who can tell me what happened and what to do with it

Hi there
I'm excusing myself one post to introduce myself whilst potentially then asking a few questions that may have been tackled before .. something i'd be quick to point out as a Mod on another forum using Discourse ; )
The issue as a Mod (Trust Level 3 iirc) with some access to administration toys is that we don't exactly know what's feasible for those with access to more toys. The issue there being that the proprietors and staff of the organisation are much less active than the user-community and moderators, so we don't get to frequently chat .. thus coming here, direct to the horse's mouth.
As moderators there's often a lot of stuff to keep tabs on, such as new users selling things (potential scammers, it happens !) - we frequently use the tools on the user admin pages (which I'll not disclose here as it's perhaps our only lesser known tool) to verify some claims about a seller e.g. ... This side of monitoring new users is rather manual, is this something that can be flagged in a more automated way using a feature we haven't OT can't see. Plus, on that general axis of looking out for the honest majority of a community are there other tools or techniques that are there to be enabled .. perhaps we need to filter out all but the most determined by advocating minimum time and minimum post-count type exclusions .. something we have loosely discussed with the site admins ?
On a separate issue altogether .. the emojis are something I was passionately against using, but I've warmed to (some of) them and I genuinely see the benefit of using some emoji synth as pictorial instructions .. very useful and saves a 1000 words !
So, I see that the site admins have implemented their own 'extra' emojis - i'd like to suggest or even just tender some more to them to facilitate this pictorial use case .. i.e. make some which more accurately(graphically) represent their product elements so an answer can be presented pictorially
Can someone spell out what the format of these elements are natively (transparency ?) so that if those can be rustled up, it's perhaps just a case of implementing or dropping them in ... if these were to form a new category, would it be trivial to implement (remember, I cannot implement, I can only advocate and do prep perhaps)
It reminds me that it would be handy (a FR unless it's possible) if the emoji palette could be retained when you want to enter a succession of pictorial elements
I notice some of yours are animated (gifs?), is this possible elsewhere too ?
