Interesting Topics

#Community Building

  • The debate over AI-generated forum content continued. Nickdb shared how his team built an AI agent to detect AI-written posts based on tone and structure, while Merefield argued such posts feel like “walking through treacle.” Takiro reported that their art-focused community’s AI ban has been well-received, relying on community reporting rather than witch hunts. read more

Support

  • Takiro reported a Failed to optimize image error after upgrading Discourse, traced to the deprecated discourse-topic-previews-sidecar plugin. David confirmed the cause and recommended removing the plugin. After removal, avatars worked again. read more

  • A user reported that the global chat search on mobile cannot be scrolled on touch devices. Awesomerobot added a fix that will ship in the next update. read more

  • Laguna asked how to show upcoming events in all categories (not just the event category) when using the Right Sidebar Blocks component. Moin provided a solution using a value transformer with a small theme component. read more

#Theme component

  • Sk-Or-V1-Contents encountered a missing preview button when testing the Mobile Composer Preview component in Theme Creator. Moin guided them to the built-in preview button at the bottom of the composer, which is more reliable and doesn’t suffer from reload issues. read more

events

  • Danielle announced the replay of the Community Office Hours session on embedding Discourse as a full-page comment system. Key takeaways include support for Ghost, WordPress, static sites, and the ability to create companion topics automatically. read more

#Announcements

  • Feedback on the unified new view for the topic list continued. Seanblue reported that unread counts often become out of sync, especially after reading a watched topic. Martin investigated the issue and identified that the browse-more component doesn’t update from the topic tracking state. Chapoi noted that the related topics line is intentionally hidden in Horizon for a cleaner look. read more

  • The Solved improvements feature (allowing members to indicate they’re experiencing a reported issue) received mixed feedback. Lillian and Lilly argued that a simple “me too” button could prevent users from explaining unique variations of an issue. Lindsey clarified the feature is optional and category-specific. read more

#Plugin

  • Falco merged a PR fixing several issues in the Resenha voice rooms plugin. Nathank reported that the lock micro-icon in private rooms is too small and the participant list is hard to find when the room is inactive. read more

bug

  • Akanora reported that the Translate to Turkish feature has been generating archaic Ottoman-style language instead of modern Turkish. Falco identified that the AI helper prompt was too “greedy” with transformations and pushed a fix to keep translations faithful to tone and formality. read more

  • Editor0732 discovered a security gap: grace‑period edits bypass the skip_review_media_groups media review check. A user can post plain text, then add images within the grace period without any edit indicator, and the post never enters the review queue. read more

  • Sober shared a log showing S3 backup uploads failing with a timeout error after upgrading to v2026.8.0-latest. The multipart upload to AWS S3 aborted due to an idle connection timeout. read more

#Feature

  • Zogstrip merged a PR to allow using input for the value of manually mapped Boolean-type fields in the Call Workflow step. read more

  • Zogstrip fixed an issue where formatted “Reason” text in flags (used by Workflows and Automation) was displayed as a single line. The Security fix had broken HTML/Markdown rendering; the PR restores it. read more

  • Lillian shared feedback that the “me too” button could obscure unique user issues in support forums. read more

It seems the em dash is now a dead giveaway of AI assistance – though some of us refuse to drop our standards for the bots.
