- **#contribute:feature (#trust-levels)** In [Feature request: TL1 requires write posts](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394633/1), @Dmitry_Krasnoperov proposed adding a minimum-posts requirement for Trust Level 1, prompting @Moin to request more details on the use case.

- **#contribute:feature (#assign)** [Allow to limit assign plugin to certain categories](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394580/3) saw @Steradiant seek per-category task management, with @awesomerobot demonstrating group-scoped assigns in settings.

### #contribute:bug

- **#contribute:bug (#gifs #chat)** [Gif functionality issues](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394223/8) had @Falco merge fixes in both core and the GIF plugin to resolve autofocus and embedding problems.

- **#contribute:ux (#mobile)** [UI Error on mobile foldables](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394617/1) reported by @pmcpa shows half-screen content on “wide” foldables; @chapoi moved it to #contribute:ux and looped in @Falco for a CSS deep-dive.

- **#contribute:bug (#review-queue)** @noahl noted that an [admin edit](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394646/1) was sent back to the review queue—odd, since they’d be approving their own change.

- **#contribute:bug (#sitemap)** In [Problème de sitemap](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394642/1), @Antoinnne’s Google indexing errors led @NateDhaliwal to recommend deeper sitemap‐info logging.

- **#Support (#images)** @soraiden lost custom category logos and in [Category Images](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394688/1), @Moin pinpointed a theme component hiding the icons in non-safe mode.

- **#Support (#login)** The [User-specific 502 errors after login](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394612/1) thread saw timeouts for one admin account only; @Canapin helped rule out extensions and cross-device issues.

- **#Support (#email)** In [SMTP Settings Missing After Install](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394622/1), @Timelord discovered blank SMTP fields post-setup; community members suspect a skipped setup flag in `app.yml`.

### #WordPress

- **#WordPress (#wordpress)** @miednr asked why [WP Discourse isn’t marked compatible with WP 6.9](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394624/1). @zogstrip explained minimal maintenance, and @angus confirmed live 6.9 installs will see metadata updated soon.

### #Installation

- **#Installation (#ssl)** [TLS cert expiry take 2](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394619/1) by @fuse triggered a manual rebuild for expired certificates; @Moin linked to the December auto-renewal fix to prevent recurrence.

### #Dev

- **Why is the before-topic-progress outlet wrapped with a `<span>`?**  
@Canapin noticed the extra `<span>` around `before-topic-progress` in the mobile timeline container ([post 1](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394935/1?silent=true)) and _@awesomerobot_ confirmed it’s legacy behaviour and has already removed it via a PR ([post 2](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394935/2?silent=true)).

- **🖼 Topic Gallery Plugin**  
@Canapin unveiled a new plugin that uses AI to generate infinite-scroll image galleries from any topic, with user and date filters, Photoswipe viewer, and smartphone support ([post 1](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394953/1?silent=true)). See it live on a test instance: [Share your pictures! - public - Canapin](https://canapin.discourse.diy/t/share-your-pictures/10?u=canapin)

### #Community

- **Public community, private community, or a mix?**  
In the context of migrating from Facebook, @Andrew_Rowe suggested a visual distinction between public/private zones, with a different homepage for logged-in users ([post 10](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394890/10?silent=true)), and _@HAWK_ pointed to two Discourse blog posts on the “library vs coffee shop” privacy paradox ([post 11](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394890/11?silent=true)).

### #Support

- **Onboarding: Discobot, automated messages, other options?**  
@stephtara asked where to find all Discobot texts for editing. _@Moin_ explained how to search site texts by key or via GitHub ([post 2](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394898/2?silent=true)) and described sending a PM to Discobot to start the tutorial ([post 7](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394898/7?silent=true)).

- **Why does [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) that disables only themes remove plugins from the admin sidebar?**  
@NateDhaliwal found that [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) hides `add_admin_route` links, and _@Moin_ traced it to an overly broad check in [admin-sidebar.js](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/e883acce3a4cce052227e9d724713eb3bba6c1de/frontend/discourse/app/lib/sidebar/admin-sidebar.js#L362) ([post 3](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394894/3?silent=true)).

- **Cannot find Daily Summary topics except via direct link**  
@NateDhaliwal reported Daily Summaries are inaccessible when both topic and category are muted. _@Moin_ explained the interplay of topic-level vs category-level mute and suggested improving the `state=muted` filter ([post 1](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394942/1?silent=true), [post 4](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394942/4?silent=true)).

- **Avatar upload issue (Ubuntu)**  
@tom1984 described avatar uploads failing to display after “Save changes” due to mismatched URLs (`127.0.0.1:4200` vs `/user_avatar/...`) on a local Ubuntu VM ([post 4](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394901/4?silent=true), [post 8](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394901/8?silent=true)).

- **Unexpected link and formatting issues in discourse posts**  
@kayla868 reported plain URLs sometimes break lines oddly in posts. She’s looking for settings or plugins to control link parsing and auto-embeds ([post 1](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394984/1?silent=true)).

### #Marketplace

- **Seeking Discourse expertise for community transition from WhatsApp**  
@KevinHill is moving a large WhatsApp community to Discourse for “intelligent networking” and is soliciting expert help to boost sign-ups and engagement ([post 1](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394924/1?silent=true), [post 5](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394924/5?silent=true)).

### #UX

- **Parent category should not have “read-only” badge if subcategory is read-only**  
@NateDhaliwal pointed out that on the composer page a read-only badge appears on a parent category when only its subcategory is read-only ([post 1](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394943/1?silent=true)).

### #Feature

- **Discourse AI plugin: missing model discovery & sensible defaults**  
@tom_eric asked for a “Fetch models” dropdown and automatic context window settings when configuring AI providers. He’s open to a community plugin if Discourse doesn’t implement it ([post 1](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394977/1?silent=true), [post 3](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394977/3?silent=true)).

@Lilly’s component adds summaries and AI-generated gists to topic lists; users praised its utility and compatibility with v2026.1 ([post 5](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394885/5?silent=true)).

### #Bug

- **Discobot gives certificate from wrong user**  
@shapelychops reported that completed-tutorial certificates show other users’ info while the URL is correct. The issue occurs sporadically and needs investigation ([post 1](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394981/1?silent=true)).

- **Quoting includes hidden wraps**  
@putty explained that CSS-hidden email-only wraps still appear when quoting, revealing content meant only for emails. _@pfaffman_ suggested a plugin to strip hidden text from cooked posts ([post 1](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394972/1?silent=true), [post 2](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394972/2?silent=true)).

### #Hosting

- **Building Discourse image from discourse/discourse – how to install plugins**  
@stevejr wants a Docker image with plugins baked in rather than UI installation. _@pfaffman_ clarified that plugins go in `app.yml` and recommended using `./launcher bootstrap` then `start-cmd` to build and launch ([post 1](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394969/1?silent=true), [post 2](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394969/2?silent=true)).
