Has anyone ever see a Discourse site revert to an old version? I just took over admin-ing an internal company forum and found it was running Discourse 1.7.0.beta7. Turns out it was installed 3 years ago expected to be temporary and is still in use (something for #praise, by the way - installed and "just worked" even without a knowledgeable admin).
Anyway, first thing I did was update Docker manager and Discourse to 1.8. Did this Friday night. Logged in today, quite surprised to see that we'd gone back to 1.7.0.beta7! Looking at /admin/upgrade I'm even more confused - it says it was last updated 21 hours ago, but is 898 commits behind.
I'm going to reach out to our server admin tomorrow (in case there's something going on there), but I don't see how the Discourse version would revert.
Edit: I should note that all my other work (new site assets, updated groups, updated CSS/colors) are still there.
I'm using Namecheap's private email service (with default DNS), but it doesn't seem to be working. Any suggestions? Here are my settings:
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: mail.privateemail.com
DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: admin@[domain I registered].com
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 465
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: [password I use to log into email]
DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_START_TLS: false
I've also referred to this similar post (turn on TLS, set port to 26) with no luck.
In the production logs I've got this multiple times:
Sent mail to admin@[domain I registered].com (10381.3ms)
Job exception: Connection reset by peer
Everything's so convenient within Discourse, however IP banning is a pain. I have to copy their IP, find the logs and screened IP's to add their IP for a ban.
Can't there just be a "IP Ban" button beside their name when viewing a profile from admin?
I have a clean install of Discourse on Digital Ocean Server. Everything is fine but i want to make a carousel in top of the site like this: http://www.smartwatch.me I've read a ton of threads and manuals but nothing helps.
I'm trying to use the code from here:
And trying to use hints from here:
Also here:
But nothing happens because i'm dummy Can someone help me with this and describe the whole process in details? Did I understand correctly that I firstly need to install Owl Carousel 2.0 from Github to my server? How can i make it through the Terminal?
I have a client who thinks their users will be confused by the darkened screen that new users get when they first get logged in. Is there a setting to change that behavior? (I've searched here and settings things like "disable" "new user" and so on to no avail). If not, is there a way to convince this person that it's not necessary?
Hi, i'm using my java api to make topics, posts, get post and so on, and now i integrate a webview to go to the forum. so i have the username and password of the person and i need to login on the webview automatic.
On the SE23 Forum I've had a few bug reports today which concerned me.
The most notable error is a user being logged out twice when returning to the site on her iPad. "I came back to the site after some time and it auto-refreshed on my iPad. So I would see things as if I was logged in and then when it auto-refreshed, I was logged out. Hasn't happened every time today, but happened twice"
I upgraded Discourse to the latest core code late last night, and also added the Data Explorer and Topic List Previews plugin.
In recent core updates I've noticed some commits regarding auth tokens. Is it possible a newly-introduced bug has caused my users to be logged out?
Other reports came in from a user who saw errors whilst seemingly logged in and trying to edit their own posts (possibly related to the same issue with expired login sessions)
I'm trying to add Adsense code to both the header and the footer in Admin panel - CSS/HTML, but ads won't show, and I have no idea why (the code works by itself when not embedded).
Maybe it has something to do with the scripts which are probably unsupported in header/footer? Can I circumvent this limitation, if it is indeed the case? I'm not sure if I want to use the plugin.
I'm trying to setup discourse with vagrant, but fails with the below error. Please help me on this.

You're install is up, everything is running fine, and users start arriving. All in all, a grand thing. ... then the questions start: How do I upload pics? How do I edit a post? How do I use search? How do I add a cool picture like Schmedly has?
Depending on your user base, you may end up herding cats. Even with the Canned Replies Plugin installed, you will find that the same questions come up over and over again, and answering them all begins to feel like knitting fog.
Here is how I did it: 1. Create a category for "User Guides", make it read only for normal users. 2. When a question arises either compose a guide, or answer it in topic, then move the topic into the "User Guides" 3. Add the "User Guides" category to the "default categories watching" setting. 4. Keep referring users to the "User Guides", they will eventually start helping each other, either by helping to create guides, or by pointing users with questions to the Guides category.
Here is the User Guides Category on the site I moderate.
These were all written just using the composer and screenshot tools. Many of them started as PMs between a User and I, and once we'd got them complete I just moved the PM to the Guides section.
After adding "js" to Files / authorized extensions I can upload js files. Nice.
But I cannot download them. There is an error in the logs:
ActionController::InvalidCrossOriginRequest (Security warning: an embedded <script> tag on another site requested protected JavaScript. If you know what you're doing, go ahead and disable forgery protection on this action to permit cross-origin JavaScript embedding.)
/var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.3.0/gems/actionpack-4.2.7.1/lib/action_controller/metal/request_forgery_protection.rb:225:in `verify_same_origin_request'
Now I really don't want the browser to interpret that javascript file - I want it to be downloaded. Renaming the extension (and changing the file's content, looks like there is de-duplication hashing going on and that doesn't include the file name - is that another bug?) fixes it.
Can you help us? Is this a known limitation? (I searched in "bugs" and didn't find anything.)
Just started testing Discourse and building my own D site a little over 2 weeks ago. Got notified by email this morning from my own site telling me of the new version available. Did the simple one click upgrade on Discourse and discourse-solved and voila all upgraded and working 100% in under 5 minutes. Very impressed with this upgrade procedure, well done to the team
I want to use Discourse as a private messaging as well as forum. How can I use it when I already created my rails project and it only lacks the messaging and forum feature. I have read a lot of articles but I can't find an example where it is implemented in another project. All I see is that the Discourse project is cloned and make it running. I would be glad if you could answer me concern. I really like to implement discourse with my website.
