In the forum, sometimes we we have to upload files for downloading. I wonder why there is no downloading points system in Discourse. You see in almost every forum, downloading files should have to pay something, like downloading points.

Hi All
I am not sure what this is called, I assumed it is called TOPIC Summary, it is a synopsis of a topic that appears in the 1st post of every topic. It shows # of views, # of replies, # of users etc.
I went to SETTINGS, then OTHER and set the threshhold really high hoping that the TOPIC summary will not appear in the first post of every topic. But it doesn't work,
Is there a way to remove the TOPIC summary?
Thanks

This topic complements using Digital Ocean Block Storage for image uploads. Hope the team will provide us with official ( recommended ) way of setting this up and move to the #howto category.
So, I simply would like to let Discourse make all backups in a block storage unit.
- Any nuances or little tricks to pay account to, or just mount the block and configure its path?
- Will it affect the speed of making backup?
- Will it easily "restore" from such a backup?
- Any other things to consider?
Many thanks!

I setup a new Discourse instance that imported a load of content from phpBB. All was well until we started getting 504 timeout errors about 30 mins ago. From what I've seen in the logs, there is a "Failed to warm up pretty text: JavaScript was terminated (either by timeout or explicitly)".
This is quite a big issue so any help would be greatly appreciated. For reference, the app is running on a AWS t2.micro instance and was running perfectly with no noticeable latency until recently. There's only 100 registered users, of which only 20 are active.

Regular users are missing the "Invite Others..." button in PM.
Admin view is on the left; regular user is on the right:
I understand there's a related bugs that's been fixed. So it's not that.
My site uses SSO, but this is for a PM, so that's shouldn't be an issue. What am I missing?
Edit: it seems that this might be a trust level issue. But, if so, I don't see where to change that in the settings.

You can't undo (Ctrl/Cmd+Z) Markdown formatting (e.g., bold).
Steps to replicate:
- Start a new topic.
- Write three words.
- Highlight the second word and press Ctrl/Cmd+B
- Press Ctrl/Cmd+Z
Expected result: Asterisks would be removed
Actual result: Different in different browsers tested (Safari & Chrome on macOS), but not the expected result.

Continuing earlier discussion as the issue persists.
So I have maximum local backups set to 3, but Discourse does not delete older backups. I have S3 offsite backups enabled and they work. I have the setting enabled not to delete anything from S3. Backups are done every night.
- I cannot accurately pinpoint when this has started happening, but the timeline points to early-mid August. It has worked before. This may hint towards Discourse 1.5 -> 1.6.1 upgrade which I performed around that time (11th of August)
- I have tried redefining the number of backups to keep, there has been a number of launcher rebuilds and reboots after that. Still the issue persists.
I have limited sysadmin skillz, but if instructed I am happy to provide any logs or data that might be of any help. The problem is quite severe, since the backups are 0.25GB's each so if I forget to clean them manually, I will run out of disk space rather soon.
Any ideas?

I understand that we typically use categories in the sense of a filter, but I'm curious if there is a way to make topics in a sub-category not visible in their parent category? I'm attempting to setup a hierarchy of topics similar to the way we view folders on our computer - you can only see the topics once you browse down into the desired sub category.
This is going to be used for monthly community competitions, where each sub category is a new competition.

If I have two categories with the same position number, how are they sorted? At the moment it seems that it sorts oldest to newest (top to bottom), which is great, except exactly the opposite of what I'm hoping for.
I'm going to be making new sub categories every month or so, but I'd like to keep them sorted new to old. At some point, I'm going to have enough sub categories that i'm going to really hate sorting that by hand every time I add one.
Is there a better way?

I'm running through a bunch of ideas for how to improve the user experience with badges - the unlocking process of them is really cool, but the actual presentation of them on user cards is very, very "meh." In particular, there's no simple way for me to view how important/accomplished a user is to the community without digging deep into his/her card. This ultimately means that the users who are heavily involved in the community don't really feel accomplished or special for it.
This is a critical aspect to the psychology of gamification, and it's all but missing in the current implementation. Even the trust levels, which are the ultimate ranking of the community are tucked away in the back.
I'd love to see a better concept of "accomplishments" on the user profiles, both directly in a topic and on the badges. I've mocked up a quick version here:
1) User Fields from the profile
2) User stats/accomplishments - a quick stat to show how active the user is
3) Featured badges (only the ones that admins tag as "special")
4) This one i'm not so sure about, but I'd love to have a way to show how many of a single badge you have (for the ones that can be awarded multiple times). I want to use this in particular for community event prizes.

I recently linked to this post in a separate topic on our website. The post's excerpt appeared just as you'd expect.
When "[image]" from the excerpt is clicked, it returns a 404, but if you were to open that link in a new tab/window or simply refresh the page, the image loads fine.

Although we have the "default other external links in new tab" setting enabled, new posts with links do not default to a blank target as expected, but rather open in the same tab.

Is it possible to cap all non-admin users to a single invite (and individually grant specific users one or two more separately later on?) Or any simple way to pull and ban entire invite trees down from a certain level (this can be done manually) -- for example a bad user is held responsible for anyone they invite?
Poked through settings and couldn't find any obvious things about it.

For most VPS providers I've seen, if you need more storage space you either:
- Upgrade your whole VPS plan.
- Buy additional storage volumes.
Now if you are running out of disk space, but your CPU/RAM resources are plenty, the additional storage volumes are likely the more cost efficient option. But these appear as a new volume on your server, while Discourse keeps running on the original volume where you installed it in the first place.
I could not find a guide or documentation on best practices how to either move Discourse to the newly added larger volume or what is the best way to make use of the added capacity?
For example on Digital Ocean if you upgrade your VPS plan you generally get 2x CPU and RAM, but only 10/20GB increments in disk space.

Hey folks,
I just set up a private Discourse Forum (invite only). It's already filled with data from a successful Vanilla Forum data import. Now I have enabled the user directory but there's not a single user visible in the directory. Is this an issue of the import or some other setting I haven't found yet?
