  1. The short_title setting is used to provide a shorter version of your site’s title that is used in various places where space is limited, like the browser tab title, email subject lines, push notifications, etc. It is useful if your full site title is quite long, so the title doesn’t get cut off in when only a limited number of characters are displayed.

  2. I think maybe you can do this by using a permalink and editing the FAQ setting to go to it? Someone with German forum hosting may be able to answer this better.

  3. bootstrap mode min users is used to determine minimum number of users required to disable bootstrap mode when you first setup your forum. I think the default is 50 and they are granted TL1 automatically. Once bootstrap mode is disabled, new users default to TL0 as usual.

  4. share anonymized statistics periodically sends anonymized data about your site’s usage to the Discourse team. This data is anonymous and does not include any personally identifiable information. It’s used to help the Discourse team understand how their software is being used and to improve the product. The data shared includes information like:

  • The number of users, posts, and topics on your site.
  • The version of Discourse you’re using.
  • The plugins you have installed.
