Related background: the Doc Categories plugin overview lives here ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/322376/1?silent=true)). - **Reply count placement updated when using Reactions.** @davidb shared an opt-in “upcoming change” that moves the **reply count** to the right to keep reactions alignment consistent in-post for sites running #reactions ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403390/1?silent=true)). - **“Me too” + Solved interactions: requests for category-level configurability.** In the ongoing discussion about Solved improvements, @Noble_Fish argued that combining Topic Voting + Solved + “Me too” can be confusing in mixed-use categories, and asked for more granular controls ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/402498/33?silent=true)). - **Events + Calendar UX wishlist: unify upcoming events and topic list in one view.** In the Events and Calendar plugin announcement thread, @nathank proposed a more obvious combined “upcoming events + topics” category view (especially for right-sidebar blocks and “what’s next” scanning) ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/401309/6?silent=true)). #### #blog - **Discourse positioning: “Will never block you from the web.”** A new blog post sparked discussion (and a small meta-question about attribution/author display), with @NateDhaliwal asking if the author should be changed to @ducks ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403381/2?silent=true)). #### #ux - **Search UI consistency: casing and punctuation in dropdown labels.** @Richie asked for consistent casing across dropdown options on expanded search (`/search?expanded=true`) and suggested removing the trailing ellipsis from “Only return topics/posts…” ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403413/1?silent=true)). @NateDhaliwal pointed out the “Where topics are…” phrasing may be intentionally sentence-like, but agreed standardization is still valuable ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403413/2?silent=true)). - **Staff auditing gap: undeleting a post doesn’t create a log entry.** @RGJ reported that _deleting_ and _restoring topics_ are logged, but _restoring posts_ isn’t—making it hard to see who restored content without digging into system logs ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403423/1?silent=true)). #### #bug - **Horizon theme header breaks on mid-size (640–767px) viewports (foldables/small tablets).** @nathank reported missing header elements (search/avatar) at certain widths on #horizon-theme, and @Lilly shared a CSS workaround plus notes about a setting that can influence the behavior ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403484/1?silent=true)). - **Emoji autocomplete fails with special characters (e.g. “ü”), worse in Chat.** @Moin shared repro videos showing that selecting an emoji from “more” doesn’t properly replace typed text when special characters are involved—and Chat throws a console error and can fail selection entirely ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403420/1?silent=true)). Related footnote: @Moin noticed a tagging + grace-period edge case again while testing this, in an older bug thread about revisions ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/396501/5?silent=true)). - **Tag Icons component inconsistencies (underscore vs dash slug behavior).** @AquaL1te reported missing tag icons in topics/tag pages despite working in the sidebar; @Lilly suspected tag slug normalization (underscores becoming dashes) tied to an upstream change in the component and suggested adjusting slugs in the theme settings accordingly ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403428/4?silent=true)). - **Chat UX bug: Back button forgets “Starred” context.** @Shauny described an everyday annoyance: even when navigating within Starred chats, “Back” returns users to Channels/DMs instead of Starred—adding friction that undermines the feature’s purpose ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403431/1?silent=true)). Related feature reference: starring channels was introduced here ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/390713/1?silent=true)). - **Meta testing page shows a 404 at the bottom (nested replies test).** In a bug report about a recurring 404 on a Meta testing route, @markvanlan said they couldn’t reproduce at the moment but would keep an eye out ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403277/4?silent=true)). #### #Support - **Hosted pricing + Free plan boundaries: what changed, and what’s “essential email”?** @Alex_Dehnert flagged confusing shifts in the pricing page emphasis and noted “email in” became locked after working; @HAWK clarified the Free plan is a recent soft launch, that “email in” was disabled after an oversight, and reiterated export/self-host as the escape hatch if plans change ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403393/3?silent=true)). Extra context referenced in-thread: Free plan beta discussion ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/395632/14?silent=true)) and “No starter upgrade option” history ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403167/8?silent=true)). - **Theme component upload error: `about.json` invalid/missing (zip structure issues).** @baseline-mobile hit an import error installing a theme component zip; @Moin suggested the zip’s folder structure (often impacted by OS zip behavior) may place `about.json` one directory too deep, and provided a repacked zip that installed successfully ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403447/1?silent=true)). - **Postgres 18 backups failing: how to align client tools and work around version mismatches.** In a support thread, @ted highlighted uncertainty about Discourse’s Postgres client upgrade policy and pointed to prior similar discussions; @pfaffman suggested installing matching client packages and then codifying the steps in `app.yml` ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403289/7?silent=true)). Related older reference: Postgres client upgrade discussions ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/215063/1?silent=true)). - **Accessibility question: themes/components that work best with screen readers.** @happyhappy asked whether any themes or theme components are known to be especially navigable for visually impaired users, given most base accessibility work is now in core ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403464/1?silent=true)). #### #wordpress - **[WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) + WooCommerce identity mapping: username sync not required.** @angus explained that [DiscourseConnect](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true) matches accounts using `external_id` (WordPress user id), so WordPress and Discourse usernames don’t need to stay aligned—reducing risk if Discourse users rename themselves ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403297/2?silent=true)). - **WordPress embed SEO edge case: missing `topic_embed` records break canonical/noindex behavior.** In a thread about embedded topics missing `x-robots` noindex and canonical tags, @angus noted the canonical-for-embeds feature requires a `topic_embed` record, and discussion continued around making “apply noindex to all topics in category” a more direct setting ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403109/6?silent=true)). #### #General - **A native Discourse client app for iOS + Android (show-and-tell).** @nicolsdennis demoed a native client and noted current plugin support is limited to official plugins (calendar integration is in progress) ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403429/1?silent=true)). Related mention: they also posted an update in an older “turn a forum into an app” thread, saying they’re replying using the client ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/378700/19?silent=true)). #### #development - **Notification consolidation: UI-only grouping or database/API-level row reuse?** @nitinkg reported that reply/reaction notifications appear consolidated even with small counts, and asked whether Discourse updates existing notification rows (instead of append-only inserts) and whether consolidation can be disabled for a “one action = one record” model ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403440/1?silent=true)). Related (Chat adjacency): read/delivered semantics for DMs are being debated separately ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403370/5?silent=true)). #### #customization:plugin / #Theme\_component / #Self-Hosting (quick hits worth a peek) - **Plugin rename: “Discourse Workflow” rebranded to “Process Manager.”** @merefield announced a rename due to an upcoming naming conflict with core; tables/indexes were renamed and settings weren’t migrated, so admins should recheck plugin settings and any [Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true) queries ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/347110/23?silent=true)). - **Theme component compatibility: Featured Topics vs pavilion dropdown header.** @TestingRico reported a collision where the pavilion dropdown header disappears in preview when testing Featured Topics, and asked about workarounds ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/217580/61?silent=true)).
