Is it possible to have multiple instances of Discourse but that users can log in to all of them with the same ID info? Let’s say that I have a forum for multiple cities, city1.domain.com, city2.domain.com, city3.domain.com but that users only have to register once. Thanks for the help in advance :slight_smile:

To follow up on this: I went with the recommendations made by the majority in here. Discourse has been installed, and the main categories are in place. Now to add some sub-categories. I appreciate all the helpful opinions. This is an amazing community, one that I am very proud to be part of. Discourse is a great piece of software, and it has inspired me to start learning Ruby/Rails. https://army.community/ Your opinions and subjections are more than welcome as I continue creating the community.

Is it possible to show only the main categories when you click on the top right menu? [image]to

I’m not sure if there is a better way, but if you click on each subcategory you can check this box: Suppress this category from the homepage from the subcategories Settings tab.

Hmm, I think each category has the ability to determine whether it appears there or not in its settings. We used to have a “suppress all subcategories from nav” but I believe when @neil reworked this to make it more of a per-category config thing, we dropped the weirdo global setting.

Can somebody confirm if the site is loading slow, or if it’s just me? And if so, what kind of recommendations can I follow to speed up things a little. I have a 3CPU/5GB memory ubuntu VPS. I have used the same setups for another kind of projects, and it has always worked pretty well.

Discourse is very sensitive to single threaded CPU performance. So if your CPU cores are slow, it won’t matter how many of them there are. Beyond that, I recommend configuring a CDN.

Something odd on your site. When I visited it in lynx, I was seeing html tags. Checking the source: <strong>Welcome to the Army.Community discussion forums!</strong> Sure enough, ampersand-escaped html tags. It’s there in the source when I look in Firefox, too, but it doesn’t display like that in FF, because later on there is a Javascript version: "description":"\u003cstrong\u003eWelcome to the Army.Community discussion forums!\u003c/strong\u003e ..." I don’t know if this is a general bug or something specify about your set-up.

Can I log into multiple instances of discourse simultaneously?
