# Today on [meta.discourse.org](http://meta.discourse.org)… ## Key Stats - **New posts:** 72 - **New topics:** 30 - **Total likes in new posts:** 78 ### Top Users by Activity and Likes | User | Posts | Likes Received | | --- | --- | --- | | @Don | 2 | 14 | | @Moin | 5 | 11 | | @One1 | 6 | 5 | | @0cjs | 4 | 5 | | @NateDhaliwal | 3 | 5 | | @Zenova | 1 | 5 | | @Darkpixlz | 6 | 3 | | @Davidb | 3 | 3 | | @Nat | 2 | 3 | | @Asa | 1 | 3 | * * * ## Interesting Topics ### #Theme component - @Don released a [new theme component](https://meta.discourse.org/t/move-language-selector-to-sidebar-footer/407250/1?silent=true) that relocates the language selector from the header to the sidebar footer. @NateDhaliwal appreciated the effort, and @Asa wondered if it could work for guests. @Don updated the logic: logged-in users and guests now see the selector in the sidebar, but if the sidebar is hidden (e.g., on login screens), it gracefully moves back to the header. A clever solution to a common UI clutter issue.

[read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/emoticon-to-emoji-conversion-should-be-a-user-preference-not-site-wide/407255/7?silent=true) - @One1 requested a better UI for [non-admin users to access shared DataExplorer reports](https://meta.discourse.org/t/integrate-shared-dataexplorer-reports-into-the-ui/407234/1?silent=true). @Nat suggested adding a user menu option, while @Moin proposed a sidebar link that appears only when reports are shared with the user’s groups. The discussion points to a growing need for group-scoped sidebar items. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/integrate-shared-dataexplorer-reports-into-the-ui/407234/5?silent=true) - @Markschmucker revisited a request to let [custom sidebar links open in the same tab](https://meta.discourse.org/t/configure-a-custom-sidebar-link-to-open-in-a-new-tab/267004/21?silent=true), and shared a custom JavaScript workaround for sites that want seamless navigation with an external main site. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/configure-a-custom-sidebar-link-to-open-in-a-new-tab/267004/22?silent=true) - @Nat announced that the ability to [limit topic translation to specific categories](https://meta.discourse.org/t/feature-request-limit-topic-translation-to-specific-categories/392993/12?silent=true) has been merged. A short video demonstrates the new per-category control — a welcome refinement for multilingual communities. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/feature-request-limit-topic-translation-to-specific-categories/392993/12?silent=true) ### #bug - @Per1234 confirmed that the long-standing bug of “Disabled Uncategorized shows in category dropdowns” is resolved by the [Remove and replace Uncategorized category](https://meta.discourse.org/t/disabled-uncategorized-shows-in-category-dropdowns/370541/19?silent=true) feature, but noted that the fix requires the old Uncategorized category to be enabled first — a transitional step that may confuse some admins. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/disabled-uncategorized-shows-in-category-dropdowns/370541/19?silent=true) - @Davidb contributed a fix for the issue where the [likes pop-up stays on screen after clicking an avatar](https://meta.discourse.org/t/likes-pop-up-stays-on-page-after-you-click-an-avatar/407035/5?silent=true). The PR was merged, and users report the problem is now gone. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/likes-pop-up-stays-on-page-after-you-click-an-avatar/407035/8?silent=true) - @Luna_Mora reported a critical bug: when a chat message containing an uploaded image is flagged, the [image is never shown in the review queue](https://meta.discourse.org/t/reported-image-from-a-chat-message-is-never-shown-to-moderators-in-the-review-queue/407299/1?silent=true). This is especially dangerous for DMs where moderators cannot view the image without impersonation. The issue stems from the review queue handler not including uploads in the cooked snapshot. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/reported-image-from-a-chat-message-is-never-shown-to-moderators-in-the-review-queue/407299/1?silent=true) - @Dorina identified a silent translation truncation bug in the AI-powered content localization. When JSON stream parsing breaks (e.g., near special characters), the system saves a [partially translated post with no error log](https://meta.discourse.org/t/translation-silently-truncated-when-json-stream-parsing-breaks-no-error-raised/407251/1?silent=true). @Denis_Kovalenko added that similar corruption (escape sequences left unparsed) occurs with GPT-5.1. The team is encouraged to add validation and logging. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/translation-silently-truncated-when-json-stream-parsing-breaks-no-error-raised/407251/2?silent=true) - @Ethsim2 reported that the iOS Markdown composer [freezes when attempting a second text selection](https://meta.discourse.org/t/ios-markdown-composer-editor-freezes-when-selecting-text-a-second-time/407258/1?silent=true). @Tannerabread identified a recent WebKit mitigation as the likely cause and will investigate on Monday. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/ios-markdown-composer-editor-freezes-when-selecting-text-a-second-time/407258/4?silent=true) - @Klappradla uncovered and fixed a race condition in the [shared-edits plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/prevent-diffing-against-a-stale-snapshot-or-position/407261/1?silent=true) where concurrent edits could be silently dropped or mangled. The fix ensures diffing is done against the actual DOM state. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/prevent-diffing-against-a-stale-snapshot-or-position/407261/1?silent=true) ### #General - @Zenova started a friendly discussion asking the community: [“What’s one Discourse feature you didn’t appreciate until you used it?”](https://meta.discourse.org/t/whats-one-discourse-feature-you-didnt-appreciate-until-you-used-it/407242/1?silent=true) A great thread for newcomers and veterans alike.

[read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/curious-to-hear-your-best-discourse-lesson-so-far/407318/1?silent=true) ### #Self-hosting - @Azhdrake struggled with a 25GB server running out of disk space when updating Discourse. @Darkpixlz and @Pfaffman walked through diagnostics, eventually pointing to Docker overlay filesystems and recommending `./launcher cleanup`. The thread is a cautionary tale for minimal-footprint installations. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/disk-space-too-full-to-update-discourse-instance/407229/14?silent=true) ### #Announcements - @J127 reported that enabling Discourse Reactions by default broke his custom like icon. The theme component showed a heart on the left side, and changing the default reaction failed with an error. The team acknowledged the issue and compatibility concerns. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/enabling-discourse-reactions-by-default-for-all-sites/403795/8?silent=true) - @Davidb clarified that the “Simpler email subject lines” upcoming change will not become permanent; toggling it off will be respected. A messaging fix is underway. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/simpler-email-subject-lines/395927/17?silent=true) * * * ## Activity by the @Team Group Team members were active across many discussions, providing fixes, guidance, and feature improvements: - @Don released the [Move Language Selector to Sidebar Footer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/move-language-selector-to-sidebar-footer/407250/1?silent=true) theme component and quickly [updated it](https://meta.discourse.org/t/move-language-selector-to-sidebar-footer/407250/5?silent=true) to support guests, showing responsive engineering. - @Moin contributed deep technical analysis on the emoji conversion feature request, explaining quoting and wiki editing challenges ([post 3](https://meta.discourse.org/t/emoticon-to-emoji-conversion-should-be-a-user-preference-not-site-wide/407255/3?silent=true)), and suggested a sidebar link for DataExplorer reports ([post 5](https://meta.discourse.org/t/integrate-shared-dataexplorer-reports-into-the-ui/407234/5?silent=true)). He also noted a possible side effect of the small post actions change on Meta ([post 4](https://meta.discourse.org/t/small-post-actions-no-longer-tracked-or-watched/404058/4?silent=true)). - @Nat proposed adding a user menu option for DataExplorer reports ([post 3](https://meta.discourse.org/t/integrate-shared-dataexplorer-reports-into-the-ui/407234/3?silent=true)) and merged category-based translation restrictions ([post 12](https://meta.discourse.org/t/feature-request-limit-topic-translation-to-specific-categories/392993/12?silent=true)). - @J.Jaffeux confirmed that a user search trigger and modal workflow now enable custom search result messages – the solution for a Chinese-language feature request ([post 4](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic/405163/4?silent=true)). - @Davidb fixed the likes pop-up staying on click ([PR merged](https://meta.discourse.org/t/likes-pop-up-stays-on-page-after-you-click-an-avatar/407035/5?silent=true)) and corrected the messaging for email subject line changes ([post 17](https://meta.discourse.org/t/simpler-email-subject-lines/395927/17?silent=true)). - @Chapoi commented on auto-grid improvements, favoring a manual setting over auto-smart detection for image grids with fewer than three images ([post 7](https://meta.discourse.org/t/improve-convenience-in-setting-of-auto-grid-less-than-3-images/406731/7?silent=true)). - @Tannerabread acknowledged the iOS composer freeze bug and will investigate on Monday ([post 4](https://meta.discourse.org/t/ios-markdown-composer-editor-freezes-when-selecting-text-a-second-time/407258/4?silent=true)). - @Pfaffman provided self-hosting support: recommended `./launcher cleanup` for disk space issues ([post 12](https://meta.discourse.org/t/disk-space-too-full-to-update-discourse-instance/407229/12?silent=true)) and advised on plugin installation without third-party hosts ([post 34](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-install-plugins-without-using-a-third-party-host/406009/34?silent=true)). * * * _Yesterday, users helped each other move language selectors, debate emoji conversion, and chase down disk space gremlins — all before breakfast!_ ---

[Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/407255/7?silent=true) ### #Announcements - @Fearlessfrog struggled with the **migration of GIFs to Discourse core** and the removal of the Giphy component. @Lilly provided a detailed workaround: delete the old component, disable the core GIF setting, and install her fork of the component to keep using Giphy. [Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/404829/36?silent=true) ### #Support - @Paulovbettio found that **manual localisation translations** weren’t showing. @Moin diagnosed the cause – the original post’s language had not been set – and @Paulovbettio confirmed it worked after selecting it. [Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/407319/1?silent=true) - @Merefield reported that the **quote popup is unresponsive on Android** (Chrome, Android 16 & 17). @Heliosurge and @NateDhaliwal suggested reloading or reacting to a post first. [Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/407332/1?silent=true) - A critical **ArgumentError** is flooding logs on a self-hosted site running Ruby 3.4, caused by a `translation_data` method signature mismatch. @One1 flagged it as a likely Ruby 3.4 keyword argument separation issue.

# Today on [meta.discourse.org](http://meta.discourse.org)… ## Key Stats In the last 24 hours, the community has been buzzing with **39 new posts** across **16 new topics** , accumulating **49 likes**. Here are the top contributors by posts and likes: | User | Posts | Likes | | --- | --- | --- | | @Fearlessfrog | 4 | 19 | | @Lindsey | 2 | 7 | | @Merefield | 4 | 5 | | @NateDhaliwal | 3 | 3 | | @Martin | 3 | 2 | | @Canapin | 2 | 2 | | @Lilly | 2 | 2 | | @Bartv | 1 | 2 | | @Falco | 1 | 2 | | @Renato | 1 | 2 | _Notable: @Fearlessfrog dominates both posts and likes, largely thanks to the new turn‑based board game plugin._ [see all activity](https://meta.discourse.org/latest) * * * ## Interesting Topics Grouped by **#category** , here are the most notable discussions from the past day. ### #Plugin - **Turn Based Board Game** – @Fearlessfrog [announced](https://meta.discourse.org/t/turn-based-board-game/407409/1?silent=true) a new plugin that lets forum members play a classic territory‑conquering board game turn by turn. It supports 2–3 players on an initial map, with plans for larger boards. The game integrates seamlessly with Discourse categories and permissions. A [test game](https://forums.mudspike.com/not-risk/games/1) is live, and the plugin is fully open‑source. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/turn-based-board-game/407409/2?silent=true) - **Discourse Workflows** – @Lindsey [introduced](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-workflows/407100/1?silent=true) the official plugin for the new visual automation builder, available on Business and Enterprise plans. The topic serves as a comprehensive documentation hub covering triggers, conditions, actions, utilities, variables, credentials, and execution logs. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-workflows/407100/1?silent=true) ### #General - **Turn Based Board Game – Early Days** – @Fearlessfrog [shared](https://meta.discourse.org/t/turn-based-board-game-early-days/407348/1?silent=true) early thoughts on his board game plugin in the General category, inviting feedback and noting it may later move to the Plugin category. A live demo and GitHub repo are included. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/turn-based-board-game-early-days/407348/1?silent=true) ### #bug - **Popup menu for quoting text unresponsive on Android** – @Merefield [investigated](https://meta.discourse.org/t/the-popup-menu-for-quoting-text-is-unresponsive-on-android/407332/3?silent=true) a frustrating bug where long‑press to quote stops working on Android. @NateDhaliwal discovered a bizarre workaround – triggering the reactions popup restores selection. @Merefield then used AI to diagnose the root cause: a leaked `discourse-reactions-no-select` CSS class from the Reactions plugin that isn’t cleared on touch cancellation. A fix has been proposed. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/the-popup-menu-for-quoting-text-is-unresponsive-on-android/407332/9?silent=true) - **Punctuation causing Markdown bold display failures** – @Renato [explained](https://meta.discourse.org/t/markdown/407071/8?silent=true) that ` **text.** text` breaks bold because of CommonMark’s right‑flanking rule. A [PR](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/41597) now expels punctuation from bold areas in the rich editor, producing ` **text**.text`. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/markdown/407071/9?silent=true) ### #Announcements - **Preview of the new Workflows feature** – @Lindsey [unveiled](https://meta.discourse.org/t/a-preview-of-the-new-workflows-feature/406990/1?silent=true) a powerful visual automation builder coming to Discourse. Workflows replace complex scripting with a drag‑and‑drop canvas, supporting triggers (events, schedule, webhooks), conditions, actions (send PMs, call APIs, run AI), and utility nodes. Includes variables, credentials, data tables, and full execution logs. Available on Business/Enterprise as an experimental change via `Upcoming changes`. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/a-preview-of-the-new-workflows-feature/406990/4?silent=true) - **GIFs are moving to Discourse core** – @Martin [responded](https://meta.discourse.org/t/gifs-are-moving-to-discourse-core/404829/39?silent=true) to community feedback about the Giphy‑to‑Klipy migration. @Lilly pointed out that self‑hosters can still use the free Giphy API (100 calls/hour) and criticised the removal of the old component without clear communication. @Martin acknowledged the oversight and promised better messaging in the future. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/gifs-are-moving-to-discourse-core/404829/40?silent=true) - **Easier account signup using email codes** – @Rishabh [introduced](https://meta.discourse.org/t/easier-account-signup-using-email-codes/407068/1?silent=true) a new passwordless login flow using six‑digit email codes. The feature is experimental, enabled via `Upcoming changes`. @Darkpixlz [criticised](https://meta.discourse.org/t/easier-account-signup-using-email-codes/407068/10?silent=true) the removal of traditional registration fields (username, password) for password manager users. @Dfabulich [suggested](https://meta.discourse.org/t/easier-account-signup-using-email-codes/407068/12?silent=true) nudging users toward passkeys instead.

[read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/enabling-discourse-reactions-by-default-for-all-sites/403795/9?silent=true) ### #Community Building - **Forums that forbid AI content – How’s it going?** – @Bartv [shared](https://meta.discourse.org/t/forums-that-forbid-ai-content-hows-it-going/405659/21?silent=true) the struggle of detecting AI‑generated content that becomes increasingly human‑like. He worries about bots “draining the soul” of communities. @Andrew_Rowe [compared](https://meta.discourse.org/t/forums-that-forbid-ai-content-hows-it-going/405659/23?silent=true) the situation to the spam crisis of the early internet.

[read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/407860/1?silent=true) ### #Self-hosting - **Confused about Self Hosting (@Gid)** – A lengthy, multi-post discussion where @Gid sought guidance on VPS choice, SMTP, DNS, and maintenance overhead. @Lilly provided detailed screenshots comparing Hetzner and IONOS, @RGJ explained managed hosting benefits, and @Andrew_Rowe pointed out the 50% non‑profit discount. @Gid eventually decided to self‑host and started a new follow‑up topic. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/407752/15?silent=true) - **Installing Discourse on a self hosted VPS – A process with FAQs (@Gid)** – @Gid created a structured, step‑by‑step guide for novices, covering VPS selection, order of setup, SMTP confusion, and DNS. @Darkpixlz and @NateDhaliwal contributed practical tips (e.g., “don’t go right up to the lower limit of 2GB RAM”), and @Lilly reminded the community not to @‑mention people unnecessarily. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/407922/1?silent=true) - **Invalid version list in discourse themes (@Jagster)** – @Jagster noticed warnings during upgrade about “Invalid version list” for several themes/components. @Elmuerte explained that empty `.discourse-compatibility` files cause the message, and @David linked a PR that stops logging for comment‑only files, while recommending the `d-compat/*` branch strategy. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/407855/1?silent=true) - **How do I configure aws\_sns\_topic\_arn\_allowlist? (@Skyfall)** – @Jonathan5 confirmed that placing the two ARNs (for bounces and complaints) from the Amazon SNS console into the `aws_sns_topic_arn_allowlist` setting removes the warning. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406853/2?silent=true) ### #Announcements - **Improving admin invites (@Keegan)** – @Keegan introduced a new flow where invited admins become moderators immediately and receive a confirmation email before full admin. @Ondrej asked why only admins and not moderators could be invited via the same UI, leading to a mockup suggestion. @Awesomerobot liked the proposal and recommended adding a tooltip to explain the privilege difference. @Rishabh explained that the current design targets early‑site onboarding.

[read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/407786/3?silent=true) - **Data‑theme‑toc=”true” should be placed at the top of a post in its own paragraph (@One1)** – Following a bug report about `
` tags breaking Markdown rendering, @One1 proposed that the ToC insertion via the composer’s + button should auto‑insert a blank line after the div. @Chapoi moved it to #Contribute > Feature and @Moin suggested placing the ToC div at the very end of the post to avoid the issue. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/407863/1?silent=true) ### #Developer Guides - **Pinning plugin and theme versions for older Discourse installs (d‑compat branches) (@Discourse)** – @Elmuerte asked whether the `d-compat/YYYY.M` strategy requires a branch for every single release, and what happens when a release falls between two branches. @David confirmed a branch is needed for each version and that `main` is used if no matching branch exists; automated workflows in the plugin skeleton handle creation. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/272665/8?silent=true) ### #Support - **Text after div tags does not get rendered properly (@One1)** – @One1 reported that text immediately following a `
` tag is not parsed as Markdown. @Chapoi explained that this is compliant with CommonMark spec §4.6 (HTML block type 6), which requires a blank line after block‑level tags. The issue surfaced with the ToC component.

[read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/407862/1?silent=true) - **Private category descriptions remain in English despite translation (@M_Terenui)** – @M_Terenui found that translations set in the category settings for private categories are not applied; only public categories show translated descriptions.

[read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/remove-category-description-from-create-topic-dropdown/408467?silent=true) ### #Theme Component – Auto Timestamp Title @Andy_Smith released a new [theme component](https://meta.discourse.org/t/auto-timestamp-title/408420?silent=true) that fills the title of a new topic with a configurable timestamp as soon as the composer opens. @Chapoi suggested using the Theme Creator for a shareable preview, and @Don and @Heliosurge requested the addition of category/tag restrictions. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/auto-timestamp-title/408420?silent=true) ### #Community Building – Handling past mentions when a volunteer steps down @One1 raised a practical problem: a long‑term volunteer is leaving, and their name appears in countless old posts as the go‑to person. @NateDhaliwal suggested a dismissible banner and a pinned topic; @Zogstrip floated the idea of a remap. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-handle-changing-organizational-roles-re-past-mentions-on-the-forum/408418?silent=true) ### #ux – Missing text `dashboard.problem.sidekiq_check` A bug where the admin dashboard showed a missing translation key. @Pmusaraj and @Moin dissected the root cause (problem check identifier mismatch), and @Pmusaraj created [PR #42028](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/42028) for a deeper fix.

[read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/introducing-a-docked-composer-for-ai-bot-conversations/403327?silent=true) ### #Self-hosting – AI Embeddings Semantic Search 500 error @Akanora reported a 500 error when using semantic search.

[Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/allow-owner-of-topic-to-set-timer/408520/1?silent=true) - @Philh requested safe, non-admin API access to read a limited subset of `/site.json` and `/site/settings.json` for integrations like Discussion Bridge, reducing credential risk.
