I was very pleased this morning to see that it's my cakeday (on the forum I administer):
And out of curiosity I went to see who else's cakeday was nearby. Strangely, though, the anniversaries page seems to be a day in the past:
Could it be because I'm in GMT+8?

I just noticed this when reporting a separate issue:
The ellipsis has replaced a single "n" from the end of my name. Can the algorithm be changed such that it will only ellipsise strings to shorten them? In other words, if the length of the ellipsised string is the same as the original string, don't ellipsise?
(I'm assuming that this ellipsis is added programatically, rather than with CSS -- if CSS is based around the actual width of the characters, using
text-overflow: ellipsismight be simpler!)

first i have to start by saying to you guys thanks for a wonderful script... but, i grow to love discourse script a whole lot but the only thing that i dislike is not having the power to customers things or use your own very theme to fit what you want to use it for, or simply say look different from other platforms on the web..
it looks damn stupid when you cant have the full power to make the platform work for you not the other way around you working for the script.. i know that they is tons of people feeling heavily bad with the in ability to customerise, i mean make the script yours...
i love the ai that is being contributed...

I have tried multiple different ways to convert a post to a wiki.
In the post menu I have enabled wiki.
Please see the video for the different ways I tried:

At the moment, Discourse provides staff the option to rebuild the HTML of a post. Could this be expanded to be done in an entire topic? We recently had to rebuild the HTML of a large topic, which was quite tedious as it takes 3 clicks per post to rebuild (hidden post options, post wrench, rebuild).

I have two questions:
- how can an existing forum user can trigger the invitation to start the discobot tutorial
- how can an administrator activate the discobot for some user the next time s/he does a login?
Thank you!

At the bottom of "Activity Summary" emails you get this notice:
If you click on that link you end up here:
Why?
Wouldn't it be better to change the copy to something like (addition in bold):
"This summary is sent from SITE NAME when we haven't seen you in a while. To unsubscribe or change your preferences click here."
And then provide a UI like this:
This would give people the option to change their activity summary frequency, in addition to unsubscribing from this feature and/or all email from that Discourse site.
(The copy & UI might require some word smithing. I just threw this together to communicate the basic idea.)

The forum is here, as you can see some topics have no category (in the UI) even though they do have a topic. The category is called "Random" and even if you click in to a topic that's in there you don't see the category at the top of the page.
Anyone have any ideas? I can see it in the list of categories. I've a strange feeling that this was "uncategorized" but I renamed it to "Random" - maybe this had an impact somehow?
It's just annoying because on the homepage there are some posts missing the category completely, thanks for Discourse by the way - it's brilliant.

I'm doing an import and all of the usernames are integers. Most users have avatars, but those that don't end up with something like
as their avatar.
Is there some way to have them generated by their name rather than username?
Perhaps the importer can call
LetterAvatar::Identity.generate(name, SOME_SIZE)?

I really like the discourse system. So I made a small discourse forum only for my own use. And it has only one user (Me) and forbiddens any viewing without an account. I write my personal notes there so I'm really don't want others to read.
Also I have some hidden categories that only the moderator can view (That's only me).
But when I see the basics about the discourse system, I found there are a few anonymous viewing and some unlogged in viewing. Is is right? Will my secrets be revealed?

This plugin adds the ability to use name_first_letter in site setting external system avatars url.
The default value for external system avatars url is
/letter_avatar_proxy/v2/letter/{first_letter}/{color}/{size}.png.This plugin allows you to use
/letter_avatar_proxy/v2/letter/{name_first_letter}/{color}/{size}.pngto have the avatar be the first letter of the name rather than username. If there is no name, the username is used.
Install like any other plugin.

Because required custom fields are not required for invites, a client wants to know who's been invited. I don't see an easy way to get that information. I thought that perhaps clicking "invited users" on the admin user page would do that, but it includes just my invites, not all invites.
Is there a way to do this? (Other than data explorer?)

Possibly something to do with the multiple types of things we're putting in the

I haven't used the poll feature much but I would like....
The option to enable users to vote multiple times or even infinitely on the same poll.
What I wanted to do was use the poll feature to create a post "Virtual Trump Voodoo Doll" but getting to click on it only once isn't much fun, I'm sure users would want to vote/poke it over and over again.
Also the option to change the Vote text to something else when creating the poll would be awesome too.
Thanks so much for the awesome software!

I need 2 widgets working for the Custom Layouts Plugin found here https://meta.discourse.org/t/custom-layouts-plugin/55208
Pinned Topics Widget- I need a widget that allows ALL pinned topics on the site to appear in the sidebar. With a feature of how many topics to display.
Categories Widget- A categories list that fits within the sidebar at 250px.
When do you need it done? ASAP.
What is your budget, in $ USD that you can offer for this task? Each of the items serves a separate purpose/value to me. Please bid them seperately so I can prioritize each. If you accept bitcoin a plus!

Can discourse look for, and de-dupe the duplicated content?

But there seems to be contradictory information elsewhere. Docker themselves, for their enterprise edition say Devicemapper must be used:
If you use Docker EE on RHEL, CentOS, or Oracle Linux, you must use the devicemapper storage driver.
And this comment on SO says not to use Aufs:
You don't. (And you don't want to use aufs.) Just use devicemapper. But set it up for real instead of these testing-grade loopback files. – Michael Hampton
I haven't changed anything with docker or anything else on the server - is there any reason why this warning is appearing now?
- Should I change to Aufs?
- Will it affect the rest of the server? (There are other sites including non-docker ones on the server).
- Or shall I proceed with devicemapper?
