@Moin pointed them to examine the `groups.default_names.trust_level_4` site text and recommended using CSS [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) for debugging ([393762/1](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/393762/1?silent=true), [customize-text guide](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/36092/1?silent=true)). - @Nick-Permaculture ran into an issue where one subcategory refused to save permission changes; @Lilly requested the parent category settings screenshot, and @Moin traced it to a 3-digit color code bug matching [383099/1](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/383099/1?silent=true) ([393825/5](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/393825/5?silent=true), [383099/1](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/383099/1?silent=true)). - A user forgot which setting excluded categories from the **Latest** page, and @Moin & @Lilly reminded them to check the `default_categories_muted` site setting or the suppress-categories plugin ([393802/1](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/393802/1?silent=true), [discourse-categories-suppressed](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-categories-suppressed)). - @Andro raised a complaint about the new email preview prefix and asked where to customize it; @chapoi suggested updating individual `user_notifications.user_posted.preview` site texts and @Moin shared the site-text editing workflow ([393781/1](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/393781/1?silent=true), [393205/11](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/393205/11?silent=true)). - @hipp0 wanted to restrict uploads by subscriber group rather than trust level; @itsbhanusharma highlighted that trust levels map to groups, @Moin pointed to the [Restrict uploads](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/112688/1?silent=true) theme component for extension, and @Heliosurge offered a code snippet from #112688 ([393763/1](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/393763/1?silent=true), [112688](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/112688/1?silent=true)). - @tobiaseigen reported that mail stopped sending after migrating to Hetzner; @supermathie walked through `openssl s_client` diagnostics, @Ethsim2 suggested trying port 2525, and Hetzner’s firewall docs clarified why ports 25 & 465 time out by default ([393621/1](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/393621/1?silent=true), [Hetzner FAQ](https://docs.hetzner.com/cloud/servers/faq/)). - @Saen noticed the **From:** header lost its “via SITENAME” text; @supermathie linked to the commit that removed it and @pfaffman discussed the redundancy-reduction rationale ([393814/1](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/393814/1?silent=true), [commit 826d346](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/826d3463945f2917ee6f6635adf5df2919962f25)). #Bug - As of June 4, Let’s Encrypt no longer sends expiration emails, making `LETSENCRYPT_ACCOUNT_EMAIL` obsolete; @pfaffman proposed removing the conditional in the Docker SSL template ([393831/1](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/393831/1?silent=true), [template snippet](https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker/blob/main/templates/web.letsencrypt.ssl.template.yml#L128-L144)). - Android users on Chrome reported that closing a topic then reopening jumps to an earlier post; @Moin recommended testing in [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) to rule out theme or plugin conflicts ([393830/1](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/393830/1?silent=true)). - Moderators observed that cleared items reappear in the new review queue immediately after approval, possibly due to secondary AI spam checks; the thread is collecting further examples to isolate the root cause ([393804/1](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/393804/1?silent=true), [#review-queue](https://meta.discourse.org/tag/review-queue?silent=true)). #Hosting - @Ethsim2 documented two hosting patterns—multiple standalone installs vs. multisite—and linked to the HAProxy rebuild 503 workaround; he and @david clarified Redis isolation requirements for separate sites vs. scaled web setups ([392692/51](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/392692/51?silent=true), [HAProxy 503 workaround](https://meta.discourse.org/t/383179/1?silent=true)). #Announcements - The **Horizon** theme component gained a “High Context Topic Cards” option; @chapoi confirmed admin overrides of user preferences and @zogstrip provided an `su discourse` command to toggle the excerpt setting ([393470/8](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/393470/8?silent=true), [theme guide](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/91966/1?silent=true)). #UX - A user requested a per-user toggle to hide AI summarization nudges; @Canapin noted the Discourse team’s reluctance to add extra settings without traction, and @awesomerobot reminded that an admin-controlled AI toggle already exists ([393818/1](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/393818/1?silent=true), [feature request](https://meta.discourse.org/t/264156/1?silent=true)). - After customizing the **Subscribe** title, @hipp0 discovered it also changed the button label; @NateDhaliwal traced this to the `product-item.gjs` component in the Discourse Subscriptions plugin ([393766/1](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/393766/1?silent=true), [product-item source](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/plugins/discourse-subscriptions/assets/javascripts/discourse/components/product-item.gjs#L20-L26)). #Installation - @Florent was stuck on the “Register Admin Account” screen despite having an active admin; @pfaffman suggested defining `DISCOURSE_DEVELOPER_EMAILS` or bypassing the prompt via `/login` to proceed ([393828/1](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/393828/1?silent=true), [login bypass](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/393828/2?silent=true)). * * * ## Activity by the [@team](https://meta.discourse.org/groups/team?silent=true) Group - @zogstrip clarified the new email preview prefix in [topic 393781/2](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/393781/2?silent=true), merged the two-emoji title bug fix in [389922/8](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/389922/8?silent=true), and applied the silenced account resolution in [392090/5](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/392090/5?silent=true). - @supermathie diagnosed SMTP hang-ups in [393621/8](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/393621/8?silent=true) & [393621/10](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/393621/10?silent=true), traced the missing “via” header to a core commit in [393814/4](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/393814/4?silent=true), and suggested an RTE fallback for HTML tag erasure in [393758/6](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/393758/6?silent=true). - @chapoi outlined admin-enforced defaults for high-context cards in [393470/8](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/393470/8?silent=true) and integrated the vote-icon update via [393695/5](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/393695/5?silent=true). - @HAWK proposed splitting the HAProxy vs. multisite discussion into its own thread in [392692/58](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/392692/58?silent=true). - @awesomerobot noted that admins can globally disable AI features with a single toggle in [393818/10](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/393818/10?silent=true). * * * No puppies were harmed in the making of today’s summary—let’s keep it that way tomorrow! ---
