Sorry, I wasn’t referring to all users necessarily, but my users do prefer that. They’re migrated from a large established forum that also opened external links in a new tab by default.
Also, given that I have other links in the custom section that do get opened in the same tab, the inconsistency with /my/* links is a bit weird for users, who don’t know or care about whether that sort of link requires special handling.
And that can be translated to those who are complaining 
There is another point of view too — how often are users using /my-links? I’m meaning is there any real reason put those links in the sidebar and make it longer, longer and even a bit longer? We have already links to /my-section on more personal menu…
If you’ve enabled the custom sidebar option via settings enable custom sidebar sections and want to customise the sidebar, look for the “+” icon at the bottom of the sidebar.
Took me about 10 minutes of scrambling around various settings screens to realise it’s part of the main user interface. 
Definitely. There was a huge discussion as soon as the forum was migrated, “Where is the list of threads that I’m subscribed to?”. To be honest, not even I found the links to Tracked and Watched topics at its strange location under /my/preferences/tracking . I also needed to add a sidebar link to a custom search query to help users find the threads imported from the old forum that they had participated in (which opens in the same tab since it’s not a /my/ link).
Linking to admin pages shows the error: An error occurred: Sidebar urls value is not valid
Why would this not be allowed?
Hi, are there any updates here 
I want to make a default sidebar for trust levels 1 and 2 so all categories can be present.
This is now an option for admins in the custom section modal:
We don’t have a way to reorder sections yet, I believe we’re going to focus on customizing the “Community” section first.
Excellent, thanks for the update.
At present I’m holding off from enabling this with our forum, for the following reasons:
Will keep an eye on this thread. 
It’s awesome that there is now the option “Make this section public and visible to everyone”, but I do have some feedback,
(Oh, and really weird things happen if one admin checks the box and another one unchecks it, it seems like the checkbox state is not updated between clients and the sidebar is not being refreshed. Repro: admin 1 creates a section and checks the box, admin 2 edits the section and unchecks the box, admin 2 edits the section and checks it again, yields a FAILED error)
I’m not quite following this one. Can you give an example?
Hello,
It seems the latest update is broke the site. Only the preload splash page shows up.
I think it is maybe because the js.sidebar.sections.custom.links.value string is removed from locale but in the other languages is still there. FIX: display validation under custom sidebar fields (#20772) · discourse/discourse@4047073 · GitHub
Here Hivatkozás means Link.
I tried to override this string and also try safe mode or disable the custom sidebar sections but nothing worked. 
Thanks 
Sorry that this change caused troubles 
Do you have access to rails console for your instance?
If yes, maybe you can check override translations like:
TranslationOverride.where(translation_key: "js.sidebar.sections.custom.links.value")
and maybe delete them like
TranslationOverride.where(translation_key: "js.sidebar.sections.custom.links.value").delete_all
Thanks Kris I tried it in rails but I am not sure I just need to copy and paste it?
If I paste:
TranslationOverride.where(translation_key: "js.sidebar.sections.custom.links.value")
Result:
[]
TranslationOverride.where(translation_key: "js.sidebar.sections.custom.links.value").delete_all
Result:
0
Seems nothing happened. 
Do you have any results for
TranslationOverride.where(translation_key: "js.sidebar.sections.custom.links.icon")
or
TranslationOverride.where(translation_key: "js.sidebar.sections.custom.links.name")
Only with the second one.

Actually, I replicated that in my local machine 
What I think happened is that you override text for new translations: js.sidebar.sections.custom.links.name.validation.blank js.sidebar.sections.custom.links.name.validation.maximum
However, like you noticed, other languages than English doesn’t yet have them. Therefore, we have to remove them for now until other locale files are updated:
First let’s display all translation before deleting them, maybe copy and paste them somewhere, so your translations are not permanently lost:
TranslationOverride.where("translation_key like 'js.sidebar.sections.custom.links%'")
To delete them run:
TranslationOverride.where("translation_key like 'js.sidebar.sections.custom.links%'").delete_all
Ah, thanks Kris Yeah this is happened exactly what you write. I just didn’t realize this will cause any issue If I translate those strings. Now I will wait until Tuesdays update with this 
Thanks again for your help! This is worked perfectly! 
Awesome, thank you
Sorry once again for this bug. We will think about solution to protect overrides when other languages are not yet ready.
Don’t worry about it I am really glad because this kind of bugs sometimes happens and now thanks to you I learned how to resolve this from rails. I think this is a really great thing. Your quick response and solution to this issue is amazed me. Maybe others will also have this issue and this little conversation can help to resolve it.
Love this idea. I hope this will implement soon. I like test new things and try to find fresh bugs so I always runs the experimental features and keep fresh the site. And this also means that I don’t always wait for language updates. Until this I have to make more attention about translations.
Sure thing, @mcwumbly.
My first goal is to move the existing category sections. I’d like to move “(Chat) Channels” to the top, followed by “Categories” and then “Community”
My second goal is to edit the names of those default category sections.
However, if I could create custom sections I’d attempt to recreate what I’ve described in my first and second goal and then I’d want to remove the defaults. Yet that all seems pointless right now cos I’ll just wait for the ability to move category sections and the ability to edit category section titles.
