- @one1 wondered why the **Browse Channels** action uses a pencil icon, and @chapoi clarified that it actually edits your channel sidebar by letting you join channels directly from the panel ([Why is "Browse Channels" a pencil icon?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/378708/1?silent=true)).

### #Theme component

- @chapoi released a **Leaderboard Rank** theme component to display the rank on usercards, complete with a [GitHub repo](https://github.com/chapoi/usercard-leaderboard-rank) and [install guide](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-do-i-install-a-theme-or-theme-component/63682?silent=true) ([Usercard: show leaderboard rank](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/378735/1?silent=true)).

### #Feature

- @nathank proposed that bulk editing of **tags** should be as silent as bulk category changes to avoid flooding users with email notifications, citing the [category fix commit](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/7a099ebb6a4c4f177cd416414914d8f902558e90) ([Bulk editing of Tags should not trigger thousands of email notifications either!](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/378670/1?silent=true)).

- @nat suggested expanding the **content localization** header switcher to logged-in users by renaming settings, toggling between “none”, “anonymous”, and “all”, and updating `user.locale` ([Header Locale Selector](https://meta.discourse.org/t/header-locale-selector/240697?silent=true), [Allow admins the option to show the header language switcher even for logged-in users](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/378686/1?silent=true)).

- @freedom requested support for the `.apng` extension in the upload dialog, and @elmuerte noted that admins can adjust `authorized_extensions` or rename files to `.png`, with broad browser compatibility ([Animated PNG (APNG) | Can I use... Support tables for HTML5, CSS3, etc](https://caniuse.com/apng), [Please add the .apng extension to the upload dialog's file type list for posting](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/378743/1?silent=true)).

### #UX

- @alltiagocom and @chapoi debated adding per-tab **Dismiss** buttons and a **View All** control to the notifications panel to parallel mobile app swipes ([Improved notifications windows - #2 by chapoi](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/378636/2?silent=true)).

### #Community

- @maiki kicked off a deep dive into running Discourse for educational communities, covering technical setup, social norms, and legal considerations when hosting sensitive school data ([Building a Discourse for educational communities](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/378677/1?silent=true)).
