We've recently started using discourse for three.js and we have decided to go for a minimum number if categories and use tags for filtering posts.
The problem is getting users to use useful tags. It would be helpful if there was a way to require that all posts have at least one tag.
Related to this, it would also be great to be able to ban certain tags. For example, the tag 'webgl' gets used a lot on our site, but since the whole site is focused on WebGl around 95% of all posts are related to this and the tag is pretty much meaningless. So preventing this tag would reduce moderator workload.

It would appear quite easy for a community to get a powerful alternative to Skype if they have WebRTC in Discourse.
JSCommunicator is a high-level JavaScript API to the WebRTC stack. It includes HTML and CSS fragments that are ready-to-use or can be tweaked to meet Discourse style expectations. It has already been used to create plugins like DruCall for Drupal, the Debian RTC service and the FedRTC service for the Fedora community.
Very little server-side scripting is required: just generate an authentication token or cookie, it can also be configured to use the Discourse password as the SIP password. Most of the real work is done by a SIP proxy and TURN server, they are available as separate packages that sites can install. I recently wrote a step-by-step guide to integrating JSCommunicator in existing open source frameworks like Discourse and I would be happy to provide feedback and access to a pre-configured test instance of the SIP server for anybody who wants to have a go at this.

I've got two different installations where backup configurations that were previously working are now failing. Backups are being created locally, but are not being uploaded to AWS S3.
File uploads are still working. There's been no change in the configuration at AWS or in discourse. I'm thinking that maybe something has changed in discourse?
I've gone over all the configuration in discourse and on S3, and it all looks like correct to me.
I've looked over the unicorn logs, and I see the backup job going through without apparent error, but also with no mention of the S3 upload.
One of the installations involved had a disk crash, and I recovered it from backup. The S3 backups had stopped working a week before (though fortunately I was able to find the later backup file in the mess of un-named files that fsck was able to recover from the old disk). They still don't work after recovery of that site from backup, but the fact that I have another installation on a different server also failing suggests to me that it's a broader problem.
Apr 1 and May 3 are the last dates of the backups uploaded from each of the two servers. Both servers are currently running Discourse v1.8.0.beta12 +20.
Any idea what might be going wrong, or how I can further diagnose this?

This is what the console outputs when I try:

Hi all, quite a noobie with all this stuff but I came here in hope that someone can give me some advices. The thing is this, I wanna make the subcategories to be highlighted when unread.
So for example, this is an example of what Im talking about:
As you can see, there're certain subcategories that are called "Monstruos" "Reinos del Norte", ect and there's a little text saying "1 new thread/post". Well, what I would want to do, is to just highlight the name, for example; "Monsters" in a different colour than the normal one. White to Gold for example, that would be MUCH better than having that odd ugly looking "1 new post" near to it.
Thanks in advance.

Without wget, Vagrant tries to download Discourse using some other way than wget (curl, perhaps?), and that for some reason doesn't work (on Arch Linux, I wonder if it's any different on other operating systems). Without it, "504 Gateway Timeout" happens. The solution is to install
wget.

We have an existing community however the members have been complaining about the community's platform for years. I have recommended Discourse but they are reluctant to lose all the information in the old forum.
The old forum is based on the paid version of Telligent's Community Server (circa 2008). I have full database access and can program anything on the server as needed to help with the conversion. The server platform is ASP.NET and SQL Server (2012).
The community has roughly 6,000 users and 60,000 posts. We have money to spend on the conversion, but I will need to get approval for the amount, so I will need an estimate of cost.
We need the project to be completed by August 1st.

As you can see in the image, I want to share a video from youtube but I made a mistake and I paste the link from the youtube search (https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=roger+moore+live+and+let+die) instead of the link I want really share https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTzsm9-XWQo
Imho the link in the message should be updated accordingly to the link in the title.
(tested on Try here https://try.discourse.org/t/https-www-youtube-com-watch-v-ktzsm9-xwqo/709)
And a correlated issue too (tested on my forum updated this afternoon to Beta 13):
repro steps:
- paste in the title a link and wait the onebox preview (in the images below a link from
lastampa.it)- delete the link both in title and in message
- add another link in title and wait the new onebox preview and save (in the images below a link from
repubblica.it)Now the title is correct as well as the content (onebox) but in the topic list the old link remains and instead of "repubblica.it" I have "lastampa.it".

I want to contribute with the error that I found, it may not be a mistake!
When a member creates a topic that contains a file, it displays a counter of how many times this file has been downloaded.
But when I edit the topic, this counter disappears, it is restarted!
A user of my forum had a file that counted 223 downloads, and I was edit to correct an error, and the counter zeroed. Is this foreseen?

Problem is we use adsense for long time to finance our work. After moving to discourse The CPC and click rate is almost 5 times less. In old site we have a single theme which always opens a Desktop view, eigther in mobile or in Latop, thus gives High CPC. This discourse theme is responsive, i need to use here Responsive ad, how can i do the fixed Desktop view and width for every device ? Disable the theme responsiveness.
- Computer view CPC is much higher than mobile ads.
- Mobile view should be disabled and responsiveness too.

Is it possible to customize the 'discobot' user or change what user sends the default greetings, etc. messages (ex. http://share.ptlrdsgn.com/0z45130Q1l2a). We'd like these sorts of messages to be sent from a different user or customize the discobot user, so it has a different image, visible username, etc. Is this possible within the settings?

Hello All - I'm new to the community and to Discourse. I'm trying to figure my way through all of these settings (overwhelmed :)) and I'm unclear how the email works. Here are a few of my questions to start:
-Do we need to integrate with existing email service or is this all done independently through Discourse?
-If independently, how would we handle unsubscribes from our email service and Discourse?
-Where do I define what sender address the email comes from?
-Can we use our own domain?If there is any documentation specific to this topic out there please point me to it.
Your help is appreciated in advance.
Thanks,

Hi!
I've got a question about an alert which popped for some of the users on a Discourse-based forum I'm managing.
One user told us: "an alert popped up and told me that I had contributed 29% to the thread and that maybe I should give some time or space or something for others to get a chance to comment."
While we understand how this alert makes sense in general, it's not useful, and in fact a little problematic for the forum we run. The question is: how can I suppress this warning?
A little background:
The forum is oriented to trauma survivors (PTSD), and was designed to give trauma survivors (and others dealing with mental health issues) a safe, confidential place to freely discuss what they were going through, and have a place to speak with other survivors for support.The entire premise of the non-profit which is supporting the website is that these people are (more often than not) NOT believed and NOT listened to, and the motto of the organization is "We believe you", and the founder's goal is to help other trauma survivors tell their story.
So hopefully you can understand why having a pop-up alert tell our users that they're perhaps talking too much and not allowing others to talk is undesirable and detrimental to the purpose of the forum. The users who brought it to our attention cried when they saw it, and became self-conscious about using the forum - again, not what we need to happen in this population.
But I have been unable to find any options which would allow me to influence alerts like these.
Can anyone give me information on this alert (I haven't seen it myself), and any idea on how to change or disable it?
Thanks!
BTW - Discourse has been excellent for helping this particular community thrive and grow. Ya'll should be proud of the real benefit the forum is providing these people dealing with the consequences of trauma. Ours isn't the only trauma-related forum out there, but Discourse's design has done a lot to facilitate a real community that we feel was lacking in the other trauma forums. Thank you!

I'm not entirely sure about the S3 permissions but is there a way to only allow one admin (me) to view and set the two keys required for this? Or do all admins have the rights to access the S3 keys?

To explain, I was trying to get that badge on Rust users forum (which I believe is hosted on business Discourse hosting, considering it loads files from cdn-business).
Here is a badge page: https://users.rust-lang.org/badges/44/new-user-of-the-month
Last time this badge was obtained is Apr 21, when it is May 24 now. I suspect the badge event did occur earlier, and because of safe net in code (preventing code from running if it's not a month already), it didn't do anything.
