### #Contribute > Bug

- **Community ownership models** : @Mcwumbly [deepened](https://meta.discourse.org/t/community-ownership-models/404814/12?silent=true) the discussion, arguing that user input on bugs, fixes, and features fits into “product development” rather than marketing, even though community officially falls under marketing in Discourse’s org structure.

**@Sam** was exceptionally active, sharing a fun theme component for [emoji hover previews](https://meta.discourse.org/t/hover-over-emoji-could-show-larger-version-of-emoji/405546/4?silent=true) and porting the [Daily Summary to workflows](https://meta.discourse.org/t/daily-summary-feedback/291853/290?silent=true) with a model shift to self-hosted deepseek v4 flash.

**@Falco** delivered on a [feature request for Android PWA sharing](https://meta.discourse.org/t/on-android-my-discourse-is-not-always-an-option-for-sharing/112176/8?silent=true) with a working PR and video demo, and [helped debug](https://meta.discourse.org/t/trying-to-contact-this-model-returned-this-error-is-blank/405569/2?silent=true) an AI model configuration issue, noting the correct URL format and recommending GPT 5.4 Nano over GPT 5 Mini.

**@Zogstrip** completed part 2 of the [large poll fix](https://meta.discourse.org/t/large-poll-bug-users-cannot-amend-votes-on-open-polls/405511/5?silent=true) and [proposed a fix](https://meta.discourse.org/t/error-500-when-moving-posts/397654/8?silent=true) for the 500 error when moving posts, pointing to an activity-pub PR.

**@Awesomerobot** [fixed](https://meta.discourse.org/t/error-when-trying-to-create-an-event/405428/4?silent=true) the event-creation error caused by a user named “trust\_level\_0” and [helped](https://meta.discourse.org/t/nome-de-comunidade/405608/2?silent=true) a community member resolve a name reservation issue by checking the correct email flow.

**@Nat** provided crucial analysis of the [drastic drop in support forum activity](https://meta.discourse.org/t/anyone-else-seeing-a-drastic-drop-in-community-activity-for-support-forums/405401/21?silent=true), tracing it to Google’s May 2026 Core Update, and [noted](https://meta.discourse.org/t/a-preview-of-the-redesigned-admin-dashboard/404528/15?silent=true) improvements to charting heuristics for the admin dashboard.

**@Mcwumbly** [provided](https://meta.discourse.org/t/community-ownership-models/404814/12?silent=true) insightful framing of community ownership models, arguing that user input on product direction falls under product development despite community being under marketing.

**@Ted** [investigated](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-gamification-getting-404-missingattributeerror-on-leaderboard-route/404855/2?silent=true) a MissingAttributeError in gamification, unable to reproduce it and confirming only the core-bundled version should be used.

_With a Google Core Update causing blanket coverage concerns and an Android PWA sharing PR landing like a drop of rain in a drought, yesterday proved that even when the algorithm shifts, the community’s ingenuity never dries up._

- @One1 kicked off a spirited discussion on the challenges of [forums that forbid AI content](https://meta.discourse.org/t/forums-that-forbid-ai-content-hows-it-going/405659/1?silent=true), asking how other staff detect and communicate AI bans. @Darkpixlz [shared their “nuclear” approach](https://meta.discourse.org/t/forums-that-forbid-ai-content-hows-it-going/405659/2?silent=true) using honeypots and the iocaine project to trap crawlers (resulting in ~6 million requests in two weeks), while @Ed_S [outlined](https://meta.discourse.org/t/forums-that-forbid-ai-content-hows-it-going/405659/3?silent=true) a gentler policy for their hobby forum.

- @Nat [discovered](https://meta.discourse.org/t/anyone-else-seeing-a-drastic-drop-in-community-activity-for-support-forums/405401/21?silent=true) a worrying correlation: a community’s drastic user visit decline tracked perfectly with Google’s May 2026 Core Update, suggesting forum activity drops may be algorithm-driven rather than organic.

[View the visuals](https://meta.discourse.org/t/feedback-wanted-userscript-to-theme-component-plugin-or-possible-core-sidebar-browsing-idea/405683/2?silent=true).

### #Self-hosting

- @Paul_King [reported](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-login-in-dialog-offers-log-in-options-that-do-not-exist/405662/1?silent=true) that after a recent update, users see login options (Apple, Microsoft, OpenID Connect, passkeys) that aren’t configured or even enabled in admin settings. @NateDhaliwal [suggested](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-login-in-dialog-offers-log-in-options-that-do-not-exist/405662/2?silent=true) checking the Login & Authentication tabs, and @Andrew_Rowe [pointed out](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-login-in-dialog-offers-log-in-options-that-do-not-exist/405662/4?silent=true) the Social logins tab may have been missed. @Paul_King [confirmed](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-login-in-dialog-offers-log-in-options-that-do-not-exist/405662/5?silent=true) this solved the issue.

### #Announcements

- @Dituar [registered](https://meta.discourse.org/t/threaded-discussion-is-ultimately-too-complex-to-survive-on-the-public-internet/63172/86?silent=true) specifically to propose a compromise for threaded discussions: keep the main display flat, but add a button to open the **entire chain** of related posts in a tree view, addressing the pain of figuring out context in long reply chains.

### #Plugin

- @Nicolsdennis [asked](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-subscriptions-plugin/140818/752?silent=true) about supporting PayPal Advanced Checkout in the Subscriptions plugin, as Stripe isn’t available in many countries. @Tobiaseigen [suggested](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-subscriptions-plugin/140818/753?silent=true) Invoice Ninja as an alternative that supports multiple processors including PayPal.

### #Nested Replies Testing

- @Dituar [continued](https://meta.discourse.org/t/testing-nested-replies-on-meta/398759/135?silent=true) their thorough testing of the nested replies feature, proposing a side-panel tree view that opens related chains without leaving the flat topic view, and creating test posts to demonstrate [deep nesting](https://meta.discourse.org/t/testing-nested-replies-on-meta/398759/137?silent=true) behavior.

### #Support

- @TimMOz [requested](https://meta.discourse.org/t/api-granular-scope-to-list-all-badges/405734/1?silent=true) a new granular API scope (`badges->list`) for listing all badges, noting that currently a global scope or disabling login required is necessary.

- @Ice.D [questioned](https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-is-the-point-in-primarys/404701/5?silent=true) the purpose of primary groups when users can change their group flair anytime, with @Canapin [clarifying](https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-is-the-point-in-primarys/404701/6?silent=true) the key point is “by default.”

### #Plugin (Translator)

- @Filipesm [raised](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-translator/32630/455?silent=true) concerns about the long-term maintenance of the Discourse Translator plugin versus moving to the LLM-powered AI approach, especially given costs and a desire to avoid Big Tech models.

### #Contribute > Bug

- @Zogstrip [submitted](https://meta.discourse.org/t/error-500-when-moving-posts/397654/8?silent=true) a fix for the error 500 when moving posts, traced to the ActivityPub plugin—now merged. @Thomas_Rother [confirmed](https://meta.discourse.org/t/error-500-when-moving-posts/397654/9?silent=true) it should arrive with the next build.

- @Awesomerobot [merged](https://meta.discourse.org/t/error-when-trying-to-create-an-event/405428/4?silent=true) a guard against an edge case where a user named “trust\_level\_0” caused event creation errors. [Read more](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/41039).

### #Contribute > Feature (PWA)

- @NateDhaliwal [asked](https://meta.discourse.org/t/on-android-my-discourse-is-not-always-an-option-for-sharing/112176/13?silent=true) if a fix for Android share sheet issues could work with the Discourse Hub app. @Pmusaraj [confirmed](https://meta.discourse.org/t/on-android-my-discourse-is-not-always-an-option-for-sharing/112176/14?silent=true) it’s a separate process that should also be fixed.

### #Contribute > Feature (Doc Categories)

- @NateDhaliwal [suggested](https://meta.discourse.org/t/show-all-replies-after-posting-on-a-topic-with-simple-mode/405660/1?silent=true) that after posting in simple mode, all replies should be shown immediately rather than hidden behind “Show xx comments,” to reduce the flash and improve usability.

### #Contribute > Feature (Chat)

- @Jrgong [reiterated](https://meta.discourse.org/t/pin-chat-messages-for-increased-visibility/397571/12?silent=true) previous feedback requesting pinned chat messages appear as a sticky bar (like WhatsApp/Telegram) to help guide new users away from using chat for support requests.

### #Announcements (Topic List)

- @Heliosurge [pointed out](https://meta.discourse.org/t/introducing-the-unified-new-view-for-the-topic-list/404728/12?silent=true) that the “New All” tab link doesn’t open the correct view, and requested UI parity for the number display beside the All tab.

### #Theme component

- @YsLtr [commented](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-reply-button-labels/402911/17?silent=true) that reply button labels are a beginner problem but easily figured out after one try.

### #Site feedback

- @Canapin [noted](https://meta.discourse.org/t/missing-images-at-meta-discourse-org/302963/74?silent=true) that the `:discourse2:` emoji is broken on certain theme component topics.

### #Plugin (Voice Rooms)

- @Fbpbdmin [asked](https://meta.discourse.org/t/resenha-add-discord-style-voice-rooms-to-your-community/389056/51?silent=true) about trying the Resenha voice rooms plugin on a hosted forum. @NateDhaliwal [clarified](https://meta.discourse.org/t/resenha-add-discord-style-voice-rooms-to-your-community/389056/52?silent=true) it requires the Enterprise plan or self-hosting.

### #Developer Guides

- @NateDhaliwal [shared](https://meta.discourse.org/t/set-up-discourse-for-development-on-fedora-linux/163348/26?silent=true) a humorous account of misreading console output during development setup—those “migrations” were actually Sidekiq jobs running.

## Activity by the @Team Group

- @Nat [shared](https://meta.discourse.org/t/anyone-else-seeing-a-drastic-drop-in-community-activity-for-support-forums/405401/21?silent=true) the Google Core Update discovery in the drop in forum visits topic, and later [noted](https://meta.discourse.org/t/a-preview-of-the-redesigned-admin-dashboard/404528/15?silent=true) the improved date-range charting heuristics for the admin dashboard.

- @Chapoi [announced](https://meta.discourse.org/t/delete-category-button-is-more-prominent-than-save/403037/7?silent=true) the merge of a fix balancing the Delete vs Save button prominence, and [responded](https://meta.discourse.org/t/a-preview-of-the-redesigned-admin-dashboard/404528/17?silent=true) to feedback about the missing last-update-time in the new dashboard.

- @Awesomerobot [merged](https://meta.discourse.org/t/error-when-trying-to-create-an-event/405428/4?silent=true) a guard against the “trust\_level\_0” user edge case in event creation.

## Interesting Topics

### #Support

- **Quick question about the “Powered by Discourse” badge** — @Raadtotheraad noted the loss of the rainbow hover animation on the “Powered by Discourse” badge. After some back-and-forth, @Canapin identified the culprit: the user’s browser/OS detects touch capabilities (even if the device doesn’t truly have a touchscreen), which causes Discourse to apply `touch` and `touch-discourse` CSS classes, suppressing hover effects. The rainbow animation works for non-touch, mouse-driven interactions. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/405755?silent=true)

- **What is the point in primary groups?** — @Ice.D questioned the utility of primary groups, suggesting that if anyone can change their group flair anytime, the “show that group’s avatar flair by default” setting becomes meaningless. @Canapin clarified the nuance of “by default,” and @Lilly provided a firm nudge to **read** the well-documented [guide](https://meta.discourse.org/t/setting-a-primary-group-for-users/25857?silent=true) before posting further. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/404701?silent=true)

- **API granular scope to list all badges** — @TimMOz requested a new API key scope (`badges->list`) to programmatically list all badges without requiring a global-scope key or anonymous access. The current approach forces admins to grant overly broad permissions, which is a security concern for closed sites integrating with external systems like CiviCRM. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/405734?silent=true)

- **Can’t upload to S3 (Cloudflare R2)** — @Darkpixlz experienced upload failures after setting up Cloudflare R2 as an S3-compatible store. The error log showed “Sorry, but your upload failed.” Community members pointed out a trailing slash issue in the CDN URL and endpoint configuration, and @Lilly recommended the official [guide](https://meta.discourse.org/t/configure-an-s3-compatible-object-storage-provider-for-uploads/148916?silent=true#p-738234-cloudflare-r2-13). [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/405754?silent=true)

- **Update URLs inside a poll after changing CDN** — @Canapin found that rebaking posts and the standard `rake 'posts:remap'` did not fix CDN URLs embedded inside poll options. @Lilly proposed using the built-in `discourse remap` command (via `DbHelper.remap`), which performs a global regex search-and-replace across all text fields in the database, followed by `rake cache:clear`. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/405198?silent=true)

- **Any way possible for non-admins granting badges?** — @Anko127 asked if group owners could grant badges without becoming admins. @HAWK suggested a hacky workaround: create a custom badge configured to be awarded via group membership, then add non-admin organizers as group managers so they can add/remove users to trigger badge changes. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/405756?silent=true)

### #Plugin

- **Discourse Translator** — @Filipesm raised a concern about the long-term maintenance of the official Discourse Translator plugin, asking whether the team plans to keep supporting it (security/bugs) or whether users should migrate to the Discourse AI / LLM-based translation approach, which may have higher operational costs. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/32630?silent=true)

- **Discourse Subscriptions Plugin** — @Tobiaseigen shared a clever alternative to the Subscriptions plugin: **Invoice Ninja** , which supports multiple payment processors (including PayPal). The approach uses payment links for subscription sign-ups and a webhook + cron task to update Discourse user status in real-time. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/140818?silent=true)

- **ActivityPub Plugin** — @Trwnh1 reported a bug where the `published` datetime on ActivityPub objects is set to the resource creation date (when the “Publish all posts” button is clicked) rather than the original local Discourse post date. This causes old forum content to appear as brand-new on the fediverse. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/266794?silent=true)

- **Resenha - Add Discord-style Voice Rooms to Your Community** — @NateDhaliwal noted that since Resenha is not an official plugin, users need an Enterprise plan or a self-hosted instance to use it. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/389056?silent=true)

### #Site feedback

- **Missing images at [Meta.discourse.org](http://Meta.discourse.org)** — @Canapin flagged broken `:discourse2:` emoji on theme component topics, linking the issue to a chat thumbnail bug where some custom emoji are served from raw S3 bucket URLs instead of the CDN. @Lilly confirmed a remap/rebake is needed, and @Darkpixlz began fixing the affected instances. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/302963?silent=true)

### #Contribute > UX

- **Delete category button is more prominent than Save** — @Chapoi announced that a fix for this UX imbalance has been merged via [PR #41049](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/41049), making the delete action less dangerous. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403037?silent=true)

### #Contribute > Bug

- **Discourse Gamification - Getting 404 / MissingAttributeError on /leaderboard route** — @Ted closed a bug report after the original poster, @Glob-Canard.4x, resolved the issue themselves and apologized for the false alarm. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/404855?silent=true)

- **Error 500 when moving posts** — @Thomas_Rother followed up on a fix, confirming the error originated from the ActivityPub plugin and expecting the fix to ship with the next build/container update. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/397654?silent=true)

### #Extras

- **Feedback wanted: userscript to theme component/plugin, or possible core sidebar browsing idea?** — @Heliosurge suggested that a userscript for sidebar browsing could be implemented as a theme component, referencing existing sidebar themes like [Right Sidebar Blocks](https://meta.discourse.org/t/right-sidebar-blocks/231067?silent=true) and [DiscourseBars](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-bars-a-sidebar-framework/298216?silent=true). [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/405683?silent=true)

### #News and Events > Blog

- **Free Hosting for Open Source v2** — @AJHalili2006 asked if an existing free `discourse.group` instance could be upgraded to the Pro for Open-source plan without starting from scratch. @Supermathie advised emailing the Discourse team for options. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/101940?silent=true)

### #Contribute > Feature

- **Do we want to add a confirmation popup to “Reset bump date”?** — @Haydenjames voted yes, confessing that the current “Reset bump date” feature does nothing for him. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/351466?silent=true)

### #Announcements

- **Star your favorite chat channels for easy access** — @Jrgong suggested that instead of a new “starred” tab, Discourse could simply **pin** chat channels to the top or rename the feature to “pinned chats” for a more familiar UX pattern.

### #blog

- **How I use AI as the co-CEO of a remote company** — @HAWK shared leadership insights on managing varying AI appetites across teams, sparking a rich discussion with @Ed_S about humane AI adoption. @Ed_S noted that “the benefits of AI use are falling in one part of an organisation, and the costs are falling in another,” linking to several thought-provoking articles. @HAWK's explicit rules—_always label AI content_ and _value the time/attention of those consuming it_—were well-received.

### #Support

- **Quick question about the “Powered by Discourse” badge** — @Raadtotheraad reported that the rainbow hover animation on the “Powered by Discourse” badge disappeared. @Canapin diagnosed the issue as Discourse detecting touch capabilities (adding `.touch-discourse` class to `<body>`), which disables hover effects. @Chapoi confirmed the animation only applies under `.discourse-no-touch`. Users suggested checking [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) and browser settings. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/405755/16?silent=true)

- **Can’t upload to S3 (Cloudflare R2)** — @Darkpixlz faced an “Unauthorized” error when configuring R2, despite following guides. @Lilly identified the culprit: @Darkpixlz created a general API token instead of a dedicated **R2 bucket token** with read/write permissions. After creating the correct token type and removing trailing slashes from URLs, the upload issue was resolved. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/405754/7?silent=true)

- **Any way possible for non-admins granting badges** — @Anko127 wanted event organizers to grant badges without admin rights. @HAWK proposed a hacky workaround: create a custom badge configured for group membership, put non-admin organizers in charge as group managers, and let them add/remove users from the group—which effectively grants/removes the badge.

- **How to use internal AI endpoints?** — @Satonotdead encountered `SSRFDetector::DisallowedIpError` when connecting to internal LiteLLM endpoints. @Falco suggested using the `DISCOURSE_ALLOWED_INTERNAL_HOSTS` env variable, though @Satonotdead reported still facing issues after adding it to app.yml. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/405831/2?silent=true)

- **Install App Prompt** — @Prempavee wanted to disable the PWA install prompt that appears for new users on browser, preferring to show their own branding instead. @NateDhaliwal noted it’s a Chrome PWA feature. @Satonotdead cited a statistic showing only ~0.005% of websites fully leverage PWA technology.

- **What is the point in primary’s** — @Lilly pointed @Raadtotheraad to the existing documentation on setting primary groups, noting that Discourse and Meta “are designed for reading” and recommending more searching before posting. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/404701/7?silent=true)

- **Update URLs inside a poll after changing CDN** — @Canapin struggled with stale CDN URLs in baked poll HTML. @Lilly recommended using the built-in `discourse remap` function (instead of the rake task), which performs a global regex search-and-replace across all database tables, followed by `rake cache:clear`. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/405198/2?silent=true)

### #bug

- **Backend 502/504 Timeout when saving major edits to long posts (~100k words) due to Diff bottleneck** — @Copymonopoly identified that saving massive edits triggers timeouts due to expensive diff calculations. @Sam noted that a “diff\_too\_complex” fallback was added in February. After upgrading to the latest version, @Copymonopoly confirmed seeing the message “The diff is too complex to display” and reported improved performance. @Zogstrip offered to tweak the complexity threshold if needed.

### #Community Building Building

- **Anyone else seeing a drastic drop in community activity for Support forums?** — @Philip_Rhoades confirmed declining numbers across ~12 Discourse forums, stating “my gut feel is that people are moving away from fora.” @Satonotdead linked to a previous discussion about SEO being replaced by AI.

- **Avatars taking ages after S3-to-R2 migration?** @David_Ghost reported [a 3–4 second delay](https://meta.discourse.org/t/avatars-take-a-long-time-to-load-after-moving-to-s3-compatible-r2/405827/1?silent=true) after migrating to Cloudflare R2. @Lilly diagnosed the issue as likely the **on-the-fly avatar resizing** process (#1). She recommended running `rake avatars:refresh` to pre-generate sizes. When that didn’t fully resolve it, further investigation revealed that Discourse was _proxying_ avatars through `/tmp` instead of serving them from the CDN, a problem traced to a configuration mismatch in `external system avatars url` and `uploaded avatars allowed groups` settings. The thread is a masterclass in remote debugging [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/avatars-take-a-long-time-to-load-after-moving-to-s3-compatible-r2/405827/8?silent=true).

After extensive troubleshooting, @Awesomerobot pointed him to the `/admin/customize/email_style/css` area, where an old `a:visited` style was breaking email generation. Removing it fixed the issue [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/mail-jobs-are-failing/405883/4?silent=true).

### #Support

- **Backend 502/504 when saving 100k-character edits.** @Copymonopoly [identified](https://meta.discourse.org/t/backend-502-504-timeout-when-saving-major-edits-to-long-posts-100k-words-due-to-diff-bottleneck/405773/1?silent=true) a bottleneck in the Diff engine when editing very long posts. @Sam confirmed that a `diff_too_complex` fallback was added in February to handle this. After upgrading to the latest version, @Copymonopoly reported that the issue is **completely resolved** — the system now gracefully displays a “diff too complex” message instead of crashing [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/backend-502-504-timeout-when-saving-major-edits-to-long-posts-100k-words-due-to-diff-bottleneck/405773/8?silent=true).

- **How to use internal AI endpoints with Discourse?** @Satonotdead asked about [connecting self-hosted LiteLLM endpoints](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-use-internal-ai-endpoints/405831/1?silent=true). @Falco suggested using the `DISCOURSE_ALLOWED_INTERNAL_HOSTS` env variable with the domain name instead of an IP. The thread remains open as the configuration hasn’t fully resolved [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-use-internal-ai-endpoints/405831/7?silent=true).

- **Banner topics disappearing in restricted categories.** @Jonathan5 [couldn’t find](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-make-a-banner-post/405840/1?silent=true) the “make banner topic” option. @Awesomerobot revealed the culprit: **global banners cannot be used on topics in categories with group permissions**. Recategorizing to a public category restored the feature, and the banner state was remembered [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-make-a-banner-post/405840/7?silent=true).

- **Nested replies breaking email-in replies.** @Paul_King [reported](https://meta.discourse.org/t/nested-replies-broken/405872/1?silent=true) that activating the new Nested Replies feature caused email replies to be shuffled into _random threads_. Deactivating the feature immediately restored order. @Markvanlan is investigating [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/nested-replies-broken/405872/3?silent=true).

- **Null bytes blocking AI translations.** @LotusJeff asked [how to find null bytes](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourseai-failed-to-translate-post-due-to-string-contains-null-byte/405802/1?silent=true) in post content causing translation failures. The thread is seeking community input on detection methods.

- **S3-to-R2 migration token confusion.** @Darkpixlz [was stuck](https://meta.discourse.org/t/cant-upload-to-s3-cloudflare-r2/405754/7?silent=true) trying to upload to Cloudflare R2. @Lilly spotted the problem: they created a **general API token** instead of a dedicated **R2 bucket token**. Switching token types and removing trailing slashes fixed it [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/cant-upload-to-s3-cloudflare-r2/405754/9?silent=true).

- **Install App Prompt bothering users.** @Prempavee asked [how to disable](https://meta.discourse.org/t/install-app-prompt/405790/1?silent=true) the PWA install prompt. @Awesomerobot clarified that the `native_app_install_banner` setting controls this, and alternative banners can be hidden with CSS [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/install-app-prompt/405790/6?silent=true).

- **Viewing post edit history triggers TypeError.** @Copymonopoly [encountered](https://meta.discourse.org/t/typeerror-cant-access-property-0-i-jqxhr-responsejson-errors-is-undefined-when-viewing-post-edit-history/405771/1?silent=true) a frontend crash when clicking the edits indicator. @Zogstrip believes a [recent PR](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/38104) has fixed this [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/typeerror-cant-access-property-0-i-jqxhr-responsejson-errors-is-undefined-when-viewing-post-edit-history/405771/2?silent=true).

### #Community Building Building

- **Drastic drops in Support forum activity.** @Philip_Rhoades [observed](https://meta.discourse.org/t/anyone-else-seeing-a-drastic-drop-in-community-activity-for-support-forums/405401/22?silent=true) a long-term decline across a dozen Discourse forums. @Satonotdead linked it to SEO being replaced by AI, and @Awesomerobot noted this is now being called **AIO** (AI Optimization) and **GEO** (Generative Engine Optimization) [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/anyone-else-seeing-a-drastic-drop-in-community-activity-for-support-forums/405401/24?silent=true).

### #Announcements

- **New post type composer dropdown: regression?** @Gormus [noted](https://meta.discourse.org/t/introducing-a-new-post-type-composer-actions-dropdown/403635/5?silent=true) that the “Toggle post voting” option appears in all categories, not just #Ideas. @Awesomerobot explained this is by design — post voting is sitewide — but provided a handy theme component hook to filter it [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/introducing-a-new-post-type-composer-actions-dropdown/403635/8?silent=true).

### #blog

### #ux

- **Cut off “Dismiss” button has empty space.** @Canapin [spotted](https://meta.discourse.org/t/cut-off-dismiss-button/405888/1?silent=true) a gap between the label and chevron icon in the Dismiss button across all themes.

- **Foundation theme display bug.** @Gilles [reported](https://meta.discourse.org/t/probleme-daffiche-dans-le-topic-depuis-la-derniere-mise-a-jour/405884/1?silent=true) broken button styling after an update. @Newbit1337 confirmed the fix: enabling the `Modernize Foundation theme` setting resolves it. @Chapoi has submitted a [PR fix](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/41116) [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/probleme-daffiche-dans-le-topic-depuis-la-derniere-mise-a-jour/405884/9?silent=true).

### #bug

- **Word limit breaking IME composition gets merged.** @Small-Lovely-Cat [reminded](https://meta.discourse.org/t/fix-word-limit-shouldnt-break-ime-composition/400178/2?silent=true) the team about this PR, and @Sam prioritized it. @Nat has now **merged** the fix [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/fix-word-limit-shouldnt-break-ime-composition/400178/5?silent=true).

### #Data & reporting

- **AI translation progress graph feedback.** @LotusJeff [requested](https://meta.discourse.org/t/ai-translation-progress-graph/405915/1?silent=true) clearer reporting on translation backfill progress. @Falco explained that the page is cached to avoid timeouts on large sites, and the initial “locale detection” phase is no longer shown. @LotusJeff proposed a simpler aggregate table showing eligible vs. translated counts [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/ai-translation-progress-graph/405915/3?silent=true).

### #Feature

- **Date picker for AI translation settings.** @LotusJeff [asked](https://meta.discourse.org/t/request-for-a-date-picker-in-ai-translate-settings/405828/1?silent=true) for a date picker instead of the current “translation backfill max age days” field, humorously noting that forum admins with 20-year-old content prefer not to do mental math.

### #Plugin

- **Dumbcourse still alive and merged.** @Satonotdead [checked in](https://meta.discourse.org/t/dumbcourse-old-browser-friendly-ui-at-dumb-d-pad-small-screens/395104/29?silent=true) on the old-browser-friendly UI plugin. @Ars18 confirmed it’s still active and has been merged into their JTechTools plugin, though the [standalone repo](https://github.com/TripleU613/dumbcourse) remains available [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/dumbcourse-old-browser-friendly-ui-at-dumb-d-pad-small-screens/395104/34?silent=true).

- **Discourse Reactions: join-in and notification feedback.** @Bartv [suggested](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-reactions/183261/410?silent=true) making it easier to “join in” on existing reactions (like Slack/Discord). @RSEhlers noted duplicate notifications for both Reactions and Likes [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-reactions/183261/411?silent=true).

- **Discourse Translator deprecated in favor of AI.** @Awesomerobot [advised](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-translator/32630/456?silent=true) users to switch to **Discourse AI** for automatic translation, which is more robust, handles categories/tags, and provides content to search engines while often costing less than self-hosted LibreTranslate.

## Activity by the @Team Group

The @Team group members have been busy tackling tough issues and offering guidance:

- **@Lilly** was exceptionally active, first providing a detailed [multi-part diagnosis](https://meta.discourse.org/t/avatars-take-a-long-time-to-load-after-moving-to-s3-compatible-r2/405827/2?silent=true) of avatar loading delays after a migration to Cloudflare R2 — covering on-the-fly resizing, IPv6 timeouts, and Gravatar delays. She later [identified](https://meta.discourse.org/t/cant-upload-to-s3-cloudflare-r2/405754/7?silent=true) an incorrect token type at Cloudflare R2 as the root cause of an upload failure.

- **@Sam** [prioritized](https://meta.discourse.org/t/fix-word-limit-shouldnt-break-ime-composition/400178/3?silent=true) a PR to fix IME composition issues with the word limit, and [pointed out](https://meta.discourse.org/t/backend-502-504-timeout-when-saving-major-edits-to-long-posts-100k-words-due-to-diff-bottleneck/405773/5?silent=true) that the `diff_too_complex` feature he added in February should handle large post edits.

- **@Falco** guided @Satonotdead through configuring internal AI endpoints, [suggesting](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-use-internal-ai-endpoints/405831/4?silent=true) the `DISCOURSE_ALLOWED_INTERNAL_HOSTS` env variable with the domain name, and [explained](https://meta.discourse.org/t/ai-translation-progress-graph/405915/2?silent=true) the caching and two-phase translation process for the AI translation progress graph.

- **@Chapoi** responded to the [Foundation theme display bug](https://meta.discourse.org/t/probleme-daffiche-dans-le-topic-depuis-la-derniere-mise-a-jour/405884/4?silent=true), identified the fix (enabling `Modernize Foundation theme`), and [submitted a PR](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/41116). They also [questioned](https://meta.discourse.org/t/introducing-a-new-post-type-composer-actions-dropdown/403635/6?silent=true) whether the post voting option appearing in all categories was a regression.

- **@Awesomerobot** was a powerhouse: [explaining](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-make-a-banner-post/405840/2?silent=true) how banner topics work and [identifying](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-make-a-banner-post/405840/6?silent=true) the group permissions restriction. They [diagnosed](https://meta.discourse.org/t/mail-jobs-are-failing/405883/2?silent=true) the email CSS issue, [provided](https://meta.discourse.org/t/introducing-a-new-post-type-composer-actions-dropdown/403635/8?silent=true) a theme component hook for filtering post voting options, and [clarified](https://meta.discourse.org/t/install-app-prompt/405790/6?silent=true) the PWA install banner settings. They also [alerted](https://meta.discourse.org/t/anyone-else-seeing-a-drastic-drop-in-community-activity-for-support-forums/405401/24?silent=true) the community about the new acronyms AIO and GEO for AI-driven SEO replacements, and [fixed](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-list-thumbnails/150602/355?silent=true) a topic-list-thumbnails issue.

- **@Markvanlan** [responded](https://meta.discourse.org/t/nested-replies-broken/405872/3?silent=true) to the nested replies bug report, asking for clarification on whether posts were being sent to the wrong topic entirely or merely misnested.

- **@Nat** [merged](https://meta.discourse.org/t/fix-word-limit-shouldnt-break-ime-composition/400178/5?silent=true) the IME composition fix PR.

- **@Zogstrip** [closed](https://meta.discourse.org/t/argumenterror-attributes-per-element-limit-exceeded-when-trying-to-open-the-diff-of-a-locked-topic/208090/10?silent=true) an old bug thread in favor of the new large-edit discussion, [fixed the API scopes](https://meta.discourse.org/t/api-granular-scope-to-list-all-badges/405734/2?silent=true) for listing badges, and [noted](https://meta.discourse.org/t/error-500-when-moving-posts/397654/10?silent=true) the `discourse-activity-pub` plugin is not bundled with core.

- **@Jordan.Vidrine** was [cc’d](https://meta.discourse.org/t/introducing-a-new-post-type-composer-actions-dropdown/403635/6?silent=true) by @Chapoi regarding the post voting option behavior.

* * *

_Yesterday, the community spent over 4,000 words helping one admin debug avatar loading — and in the process, likely saved dozens of other forum operators from tearing their hair out over R2 migrations. Maybe that’s the real AIO._

## Interesting Topics

### #self-hosting

- **How to install plugins without using a third-party host?** — @Willy asked if it’s possible to install self-developed plugins on a self-hosted Discourse without relying on GitHub or other external services. The discussion quickly turned into a debate on the necessity of version control. @RGJ argued that pushing to GitHub takes less than a minute, while @Merefield emphasised that proper source control is the professional approach. @Satonotdead raised concerns about GitHub’s reliability under DMCA takedowns. @Awesomerobot pointed out that for small customisations, a **theme component** (no git needed) might be the right solution. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-install-plugins-without-using-a-third-party-host/406009/1?silent=true)

### #Support

- **Nested replies broken?** — @Paul_King reported that enabling the new Nested Replies feature caused email‑in replies to appear in random threads. After updating to the latest build (and removing an obsolete `mysql-dep.template.yml` line from `app.yml`), the issue resolved. @Chapoi confirmed that being on “2026.6.0‑latest” doesn’t always mean the latest commits — an additional update fixed the problem. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/nested-replies-broken/405872/1?silent=true)

- **Mail jobs are failing** — @Josip_Meštrović encountered a `Unregistered function` error in Sidekiq when sending mail. @Awesomerobot quickly identified the culprit: a `a:visited` pseudo‑class in the custom email CSS at `/admin/customize/email_style/css`. Removing the invalid selector resolved the issue. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/mail-jobs-are-failing/405883/1?silent=true)

### #ux

- **“New Topic” button is not responsive when resizing** — @RGJ demonstrated a bug where the “New Topic” button doesn’t reflow between icon‑only and text modes when the browser window is resized. @Awesomerobot confirmed and provided a [fix](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/41174). [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/new-topic-button-is-not-responsive-when-resizing/406036/1?silent=true)

- **Cut off “Dismiss ⌄” button** — @Canapin noticed an unwanted gap between the “Dismiss” label and the chevron‑down icon in the dismiss‑button component. @Ted pointed out that the spacing is an intended design effect, but the recent modernisation of themes may have broken it. @Chapoi will take a look when time permits. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/cut-off-dismiss-button/405888/1?silent=true)

- **Problème d’affichage dans le topic** — @Gilles reported broken button styling after an update, visible even in [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true). @Chapoi traced it to the “Modernize Foundation theme” setting – enabling that upcoming change fixes the buttons for everyone, regardless of which theme they use. A [PR](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/41116) has been merged. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/probleme-daffiche-dans-le-topic-depuis-la-derniere-mise-a-jour/405884/1?silent=true)

### #announcements

- **Introducing a new “Post Type” Composer actions dropdown** — In the ongoing discussion about the new composer menu, @Gormus asked if the “Toggle post voting” option could be hidden when the category isn’t of type “Ideas”. @Awesomerobot explained that the post‑voting plugin is currently site‑wide, but provided a `registerValueTransformer` hook enabling theme developers to filter the dropdown per category.

### #blog

- **I’m tracking down the world’s best community builders. Here’s what I’ve learned so far…** — @Jawestenberg shared a blog post about the loneliness of community builders and the importance of NPS for measuring ROI. @Ted resonated with the line _“I came for the language, and stayed for the people”_ and suggested NPS is a good way to correlate community stats with business outcomes. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/i-m-tracking-down-the-worlds-best-community-builders-here-s-what-i-ve-learned-so-far/405960/1?silent=true)

### #data-and-reporting

- **AI Translation Progress Graph** — @LotusJeff found the translation progress graph misleading (showing 99% when only a fraction of posts were translated). @Falco explained the caching and two‑step process (language detection + translation). @LotusJeff proposed a simpler reporting model with eligible vs. completed counts and shared his own [Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true) SQL queries. @Nat promised improvements for July. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/ai-translation-progress-graph/405915/1?silent=true)

### #bug

- **FIX: Word limit shouldn’t break IME composition** — @Small-Lovely-Cat revived a stale PR that prevents the word‑limit warning from interfering with Input Method Editor (IME) compositions. @Sam prioritised it, and @Nat merged the contribution. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/fix-word-limit-shouldnt-break-ime-composition/400178/2?silent=true)

- **FIX: Boosts in reviewables should link to posts rather than topics** — @Small-Lovely-Cat contributed a fix for the Boosts plugin: when a boost is reported, the review‑queue link now points directly to the post instead of the topic. @Nat confirmed that @Zogstrip merged the [PR](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-boosts/pull/9). [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/fix-boosts-in-reviewables-should-link-to-posts-rather-than-topics/405993/1?silent=true)

### #plugin

- **Dumbcourse – Old‑browser friendly UI at /dumb** — @Satonotdead revived an old thread about a lightweight, D‑pad‑friendly UI. @Ars18 confirmed the project is still alive and has been merged into their master plugin, while the standalone repo remains available. The community appreciated the modular approach of keeping features switchable. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/dumbcourse-old-browser-friendly-ui-at-dumb-d-pad-small-screens/395104/29?silent=true)

- **Discourse Translator** — In the long‑running translator thread, @Awesomerobot advised users to migrate to **Discourse AI** for automatic translation, as it is now the more robust feature (automatic, includes categories/tags, costs as little as $10/year for 10k posts). @NateDhaliwal added that self‑hosting a model via Ollama is an option. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-translator/32630/456?silent=true)

### #feature

- **Can I force English for unsupported languages?** — @Jagster, running a Finnish forum, wanted to serve English to visitors whose browser locale is unsupported instead of forcing Finnish. @Falco replied that a fallback‑locale feature doesn’t exist yet. @Nat suggested setting the default locale to English, since the content‑localisation setting uses the default locale as fallback.

## Activity by the @Team Group

Members of the Discourse team were active across many threads yesterday. Here’s a summary of their contributions:

- **@Awesomerobot** fixed the [resizing bug in the “New Topic” button](https://meta.discourse.org/t/new-topic-button-is-not-responsive-when-resizing/406036/1?silent=true) and provided a `registerValueTransformer` hook so theme developers can [hide the post‑voting toggle per category](https://meta.discourse.org/t/introducing-a-new-post-type-composer-actions-dropdown/403635/8?silent=true). They also diagnosed the [mail‑job failure](https://meta.discourse.org/t/mail-jobs-are-failing/405883/2?silent=true) caused by `a:visited` in email CSS, helped a user [install themes without git](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-install-plugins-without-using-a-third-party-host/406009/17?silent=true), and [investigated the cut‑off dismiss button](https://meta.discourse.org/t/cut-off-dismiss-button/405888/2?silent=true). They also reported a [bug in the ModelOC plugin topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-android-app/405835/2?silent=true) and suggested a `rake dev:populate` command for demo content.

- **@Chapoi** corrected the understanding of version numbers in the [nested‑replies issue](https://meta.discourse.org/t/nested-replies-broken/405872/7?silent=true) and confirmed that the [display bug in Foundation theme](https://meta.discourse.org/t/probleme-daffiche-dans-le-topic-depuis-la-derniere-mise-a-jour/405884/4?silent=true) would be fixed by enabling the “Modernize Foundation theme” setting. They also commented on the [Plugin installation debate](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-install-plugins-without-using-a-third-party-host/406009/2?silent=true) and the [composer actions dropdown](https://meta.discourse.org/t/introducing-a-new-post-type-composer-actions-dropdown/403635/6?silent=true).

- **@Falco** explained the [caching and two‑step process of the AI Translation Progress Graph](https://meta.discourse.org/t/ai-translation-progress-graph/405915/2?silent=true) and confirmed that a [fallback‑locale feature](https://meta.discourse.org/t/can-i-force-english-for-unsupported-languages/406039/2?silent=true) is not yet supported. They also helped with [internal AI endpoint configuration](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-use-internal-ai-endpoints/405831/6?silent=true), [marked the Android share‑target feature as done](https://meta.discourse.org/t/on-android-my-discourse-is-not-always-an-option-for-sharing/112176/16?silent=true), and [moved a nested‑replies SEO request to feature requests](https://meta.discourse.org/t/seo-googlebot-view-should-represent-nested-replies-default-sort-setting/405969/2?silent=true).

- **@Nat** merged the [IME composition fix](https://meta.discourse.org/t/fix-word-limit-shouldnt-break-ime-composition/400178/5?silent=true) and the [Boosts review‑link fix](https://meta.discourse.org/t/fix-boosts-in-reviewables-should-link-to-posts-rather-than-topics/405993/2?silent=true). They also [promised improvements to the translation progress report](https://meta.discourse.org/t/ai-translation-progress-graph/405915/5?silent=true) and [clarified the fallback‑locale behaviour](https://meta.discourse.org/t/can-i-force-english-for-unsupported-languages/406039/3?silent=true).

## Interesting Topics

### #self-hosting

- @Willy sparked a long thread about [disabling Discourse updates](https://meta.discourse.org/t/is-it-possible-to-disable-discourse-updates/406120?silent=true) after his plugins broke. @Falco clarified that Discourse never updates automatically, and the `./launcher rebuild app` command is the main way to update. @Moin explained how to pin a specific version, commit, or branch (like `esr`) via the `app.yml` file, though he strongly cautioned against pinning to a commit in production due to missing security patches. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/is-it-possible-to-disable-discourse-updates/406120/13?silent=true)

- In a related but separate thread, @Willy continued a discussion on [installing plugins without a third‑party host](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-install-plugins-without-using-a-third-party-host/406009?silent=true). @Falco noted that plugins can be mounted via a volume in `app.yml`, and @Pfaffman suggested using `rsync` or `cp -a` instead of `git clone`. @Chapoi reminded everyone to keep the tone constructive. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-install-plugins-without-using-a-third-party-host/406009/26?silent=true)

- @JackieP asked about [self‑hosting a Business‑level account](https://meta.discourse.org/t/self-host-business-account/406250?silent=true). @Falco reminded that Discourse is fully open‑source (GPL v2) and can be self‑hosted without any plan; SSO, gamification, and advanced features are all included in the core distribution. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/self-host-business-account/406250/2?silent=true)

- @Miednr reported a [bug where anonymous visitors were redirected to login when 7 was first in 8](https://meta.discourse.org/t/bug-visitors-cant-access-forum-index/406106?silent=true). After investigation with @Zogstrip and @Nat, the issue seemed tied to the OpenID Connect plugin — deactivating it resolved the symptom, though the root cause remains unclear. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/bug-visitors-cant-access-forum-index/406106/9?silent=true)

### #Community Building

- @Robbie.Morrison shared a deeply personal experience with [forums that forbid AI content](https://meta.discourse.org/t/forums-that-forbid-ai-content-hows-it-going/405659?silent=true). He described being wrongly accused of using AI on Wikipedia and documented the “reverse burden of proof” that accused editors face. @RGJ linked to articles about AI‑detector bias against non‑native English speakers. @One1 pointed to the AskHistorians subreddit’s strict yet more procedural AI policy. @Chapoi lamented that their habit of using em‑dashes now makes them look like a bot. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/forums-that-forbid-ai-content-hows-it-going/405659/4?silent=true)

### #Support

- @Gilles noticed that [Ask Discourse has become less helpful](https://meta.discourse.org/t/ask-discourse-moins-performant/406105?silent=true) recently. @Nat confirmed they switched to a locally hosted DeepSeek v4 Flash model. @Falco explained that Ask Discourse was built for general troubleshooting, not development, and recommended using `dv` (Discourse Vibe) for coding‑related queries. @Gilles expressed disappointment, finding `dv` too heavy for occasional development. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/ask-discourse-moins-performant/406105/4?silent=true)

- @LotusJeff asked about the [translation speed difference between topics and posts](https://meta.discourse.org/t/why-topics-translate-faster-than-posts/406189?silent=true). @Falco clarified that both use the same batch numbers, so topics with fewer replies progress faster; adjusting the max age or backfill rate can help catch up. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/why-topics-translate-faster-than-posts/406189/2?silent=true)

- @Newbit1337 flagged a [confusing UX in full‑app embed mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-progress-shows-first-post-in-full-app-embed-via-topicid/406180?silent=true): the topic progress bar shows “2/2” even though only one post is visible, and the timeline can’t scroll to post #1. @Mcwumbly has already been considering adding a flagging option for embedded posts. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-progress-shows-first-post-in-full-app-embed-via-topicid/406180?silent=true)

- @Ondrej struggled to [re‑enable the AI plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/cant-get-the-ai-plugin-enabled/406240?silent=true) after disabling it. @Falco pinged @Keegan suspecting a recent change might have caused the issue. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/cant-get-the-ai-plugin-enabled/406240/2?silent=true)

### #announcements

- @Rishabh published the **[Current Projects – June 2026](https://meta.discourse.org/t/current-projects-june-2026/406097?silent=true)** newsletter, detailing recently finished work (GIFs moving to core, unified new topic list, nested replies, new layout/blocks system) and ongoing work (reporting improvements, events plugin upgrades, Free plan enhancements, and a new Workflows system). @NateDhaliwal asked for developer documentation on the blocks API; @Chapoi said it will come once the system stabilises. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/current-projects-june-2026/406097/1?silent=true)

- @Davidb announced the **[new reactions popup in chat](https://meta.discourse.org/t/new-reactions-popup-in-chat/406004?silent=true)**. Hovering a reaction shows the list of users; multiple reactions trigger a filter menu. The feature is experimental and can be enabled via the “Upcoming changes” admin page. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/new-reactions-popup-in-chat/406004?silent=true)

- @Awesomerobot announced that **[livestream is now an optional toggle on event creation](https://meta.discourse.org/t/livestream-is-now-an-optional-toggle-on-event-creation/406237?silent=true)**, replacing the need to tag topics `livestream`. `livestream_enabled` and `livestream_chat_allowed_groups` settings are deprecated; existing topics are migrated automatically. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/livestream-is-now-an-optional-toggle-on-event-creation/406237?silent=true)

### #feature

- @Prempavee requested the ability to [configure where videos are uploaded](https://meta.discourse.org/t/ability-to-configure-where-videos-uploaded/406119?silent=true) (e.g., Mux instead of local storage) on the Pro plan. @Moin pointed to a theme component for YouTube/Vimeo upload; @Arkshine explained the Vimeo partner limitations and offered to create a plugin version when possible. @Mcwumbly noted that extra storage can be purchased on the Pro plan, but the custom Mux integration is not planned for lower tiers. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/ability-to-configure-where-videos-uploaded/406119/14?silent=true)

- @Moin raised a strong case for [restoring the per‑topic language toggle](https://meta.discourse.org/t/multi-language-preferences-for-displaying-localized-content/381116/15?silent=true) in the translation feature. He explained that the new per‑post toggle requires many clicks and that the old timeline toggle was more discoverable. @Awesomerobot acknowledged the feedback and said they could reconsider the design. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/multi-language-preferences-for-displaying-localized-content/381116/16?silent=true)

### #bug

- @Zogstrip fixed a long‑standing [bug where all‑day events were not usable by iCal](https://meta.discourse.org/t/creating-an-all-day-event-that-is-usable-by-ical/253665/6?silent=true) (PR [#41203](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/41203)). @Nathank called the result “a bit messy” but confirmed the fix works. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/creating-an-all-day-event-that-is-usable-by-ical/253665/8?silent=true)

- @Zogstrip also patched an issue where [events from unlisted topics would appear on the calendar](https://meta.discourse.org/t/events-from-unlisted-topics-show-on-calendar/406032/3?silent=true) (PR [#41194](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/41194)). [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/events-from-unlisted-topics-show-on-calendar/406032/3?silent=true)

### #development

- @Singi2016cn explored how to [interact with plugin outlets inside gjs components](https://meta.discourse.org/t/gjs-template/406094?silent=true). After @RGJ pointed out that `PluginOutlet` has no parameters, @Singi2016cn discovered they could directly access the `search` service from connectors, making component interaction unnecessary. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/gjs-template/406094/6?silent=true)

### #ux

- @Mcwumbly changed the [default sort for the Feature category](https://meta.discourse.org/t/default-sort-for-feature-category/406246?silent=true) from “Votes” to “Default” (Activity) to reduce disorientation. Topics still sort by votes on the Votes tab. @Moin thanked him, noting a similar confusion he had raised earlier. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/default-sort-for-feature-category/406246?silent=true)

### #site-feedback

- @Mcwumbly opened a meta‑discussion on whether the [#contribute:feature](https://meta.discourse.org/t/where-should-open-ended-discussion-about-the-product-happen/406248?silent=true) category should be split, as it currently serves both open‑ended product discussion and individual feature proposals. He gave the example of a long‑running debate on threaded discussion that feels uncomfortable to close as “done.” [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/where-should-open-ended-discussion-about-the-product-happen/406248?silent=true)

**Fun fact from yesterday’s activity:** The em‑dash ( — ) is now so closely associated with AI writing that veteran forum user @Chapoi is considering giving up their favourite punctuation mark — lest they be mistaken for a bot. 🤖💔

## Interesting Topics

### #Community Building

- **Forums that forbid AI content… How’s it going?** – @Robbie.Morrison shared a harrowing account of Wikipedia’s AI-purity policies, describing false accusations, a `font-size: 0pt` honeypot trap, and a reverse burden of proof that denies natural justice. He encouraged readers to review the exchange at [Fern Cave article talk page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Gurkubondinn/Archives/2026#No_LLM_Mark_on_fern_caves). @RGJ countered with links to studies showing AI detectors are [biased against non‑native English speakers](https://hai.stanford.edu/news/ai-detectors-biased-against-non-native-english-writers), and @Chapoi lamented that overusing em‑dashes now looks like AI. [[read more]](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/405659/12?silent=true)

### #Announcements

- **Current Projects – June 2026** – @Rishabh published the monthly newsletter, highlighting the move of the GIFs component into core, the unified new topic list, nested replies (experimental), a new blocks system for themes, and upcoming work on reporting, events, and workflows. @Chapoi noted that developer documentation for the blocks API is pending stabilisation. [[read more]](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406097/1?silent=true)

- **Introducing nested replies** – The conversation continued on default settings: @Markvanlan merged a commit that caps nesting depth at 3 (down from 10). @Mcwumbly suggested making these settings per‑category, which @Markvanlan agreed would be the eventual reality, though a way to backfill existing topics is still needed. [[read more]](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/402812/60?silent=true)

- **Livestream is now an optional toggle on event creation** – @Awesomerobot announced that livestream is now an attribute directly on the event, removing the need for a `livestream` tag. Existing topics will be migrated automatically. Developers can check `topic.has_livestream` and use the new CSS class `body.livestream-topic`. [[read more]](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406237/1?silent=true)

- **Inline integration of AI Suggestions (in Composer)** – @Falco reported a tiny icon overlap when editing the topic title directly, alerting @Chapoi. [[read more]](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/405394/4?silent=true)

### #Self-hosting

- **Self host Business account** – @JackieP asked whether the Business plan allows on‑premises hosting. @Falco clarified that Discourse is open‑source (GPL v2) and can be self‑hosted without any plan; SSO and gamification are available in the free version. @Pfaffman offered paid integration help via the #Marketplace. [[read more]](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406250/2?silent=true)

- **How to install plugins without using a third‑party host?** – @Pfaffman provided a straightforward answer: use any method to copy source code into the `discourse/plugins` directory – `git clone`, `rsync`, or `cp -a`. He lamented that the thread had not been as supportive as it could have been. [[read more]](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406009/28?silent=true)

### #Feature

- **Multi‑language preferences for displaying localized content** – @Moin detailed why the removal of the whole‑topic translation toggle is frustrating: toggling 10 posts now takes 10 clicks instead of one, and the new per‑post toggle changes behavior when you click. He also noticed that translated titles lack a toggle, and switching interface language via the dropdown resets the “show original” preference. @Awesomerobot acknowledged the need for a better design. [[read more]](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/381116/15?silent=true)

- **Ability to configure where videos uploaded** – @Mcwumbly mentioned existing Mux integrations but said no lower‑plan availability is planned. @Arkshine built a custom Cloudflare Worker solution that handles auth and uploads directly to CF Stream or Mux, demonstrating it with a video. [[read more]](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406119/17?silent=true)

### #Site feedback

- **Where should open ended discussion about the product happen?** – @Mcwumbly raised a meta‑question about whether #Contribute > Feature should separate ideation/voting from open discussion. @Awesomerobot suggested expanding #Contribute > UX to cover broader experiences. [[read more]](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406248/1?silent=true)

### #Support

- **Can’t get the AI plugin enabled** – @Ondrej accidentally disabled the AI plugin and couldn’t re‑enable it. @Keegan acknowledged a bug in the disabled state and explained that on free tier sites the AI plugin is mandatory (for spam detection), though individual AI features can be turned off. [[read more]](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406240/3?silent=true)

### #ux

- **Topic edit interface shows overlapping icons** – @Moin spotted the angle‑down and sparkles icons overlapping when editing topic information. @Falco had already flagged this in the composer thread. [[read more]](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406255/1?silent=true)

- **Always show recent drafts first in the new topic dropdown** – @Moin requested that drafts be sorted by last update (as in the activity list) rather than in a seemingly random order after a reload. [[read more]](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406259/1?silent=true)

### #bug

- **Diff between revisions no longer visible when there is a hidden revision in between** – @Moin reported that hidden revisions now break the diff view, showing nothing instead of the combined diff that was previously displayed. Examples from several Meta topics were provided. [[read more]](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406254/1?silent=true)

### #Site Management

- **Discourse Moderation Guide – Part 2 & 3** – @MarkDoerr published two comprehensive guides: [Part 2: Managing Users](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406265?silent=true) covers public profiles, IP lookups, and handling difficult users via warnings, silencing, and suspensions; [Part 3: Managing Content](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406266?silent=true) details topic management, flag workflows, the review queue, and slow mode. Both are part of a series. [[read more]](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406265/1?silent=true) [[read more]](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406266/1?silent=true)

## Interesting Topics

Topics are grouped by category; each bullet summarises the key discussion in prose and includes a direct link.

### #bug

- @Nicolsdennis uncovered a perplexing bug in the [#nested-replies] view: pages are padded with deleted-post placeholders when no live descendants remain, causing blank pages for non-staff. @Markvanlan [acknowledged the issue](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406322/4?silent=true) and plans to drop placeholders when `total_descendant_count` is zero—though @Falco [suggested moving deleteds to the end](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406322/7?silent=true) instead. [Read the full report](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406322/1?silent=true).

- @Moin spotted that on the **oops** page (`/oops`) some topic titles render `&rsquo;` instead of a proper apostrophe. @Lilly [shared a laugh](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406309/2?silent=true) at the HTML entity leak, and @Sam [commented](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406309/3?silent=true) that it likely originates from a security fix. @Zogstrip [proposed a PR](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406309/5?silent=true) to resolve the encoding. [See the oops page](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406309/1?silent=true).

- @Lilly reported that custom emojis stored on S3 or Cloudflare R2 bypass the configured CDN URL, causing broken images when bucket policies are strict. She [opened a PR](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/41267) to wrap the URL in `Discourse.store.cdn_url()`, and created a [theme component](https://github.com/Lillinator/s3-fix-custom-emojis.git) as an interim fix. @Falco [tested default vs custom emojis](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406384/2?silent=true) on Meta and noted the two‑CDN setup might be the root cause. [Discuss the CDN bypass](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406384/1?silent=true).

- @Tannerabread fixed a long‑standing bug where spoilers do not toggle when placed inside `<details>` elements—the PR is [now available for review](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/41266). [Read about the fix](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/194499/7?silent=true).

### #Self-hosting

- A question (originally in Chinese) about how to retrieve the end‑user’s real IP after commit `b4a3389` sparked a deep discussion. @Iamntz [shared](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406267/2?silent=true) their Cloudflare‑style Nginx config, @Lilly [pointed to the socket‑based approach](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406267/3?silent=true), and @Supermathie [wrote an entire guide](https://meta.discourse.org/t/handling-the-chain-of-trust-of-the-end-users-real-ip/406372?silent=true) on setting the chain of trust without needing a socket. @Pfaffman also [weighed in](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406267/5?silent=true) with a template approach. [See the full thread](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406267/1?silent=true).

- @Supermathie authored a **comprehensive how‑to** on handling the “chain of trust” for the end‑user’s real IP when multiple proxies (Cloudflare, load balancers) sit in front of Discourse. The guide explains the new `discourse_docker` outlet‑based template system and includes examples for AWS ALB and multi‑proxy scenarios. [Read the guide](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406372/1?silent=true).

### #Feature

- @Falco marked as **#wontfix** the behaviour where AI summaries include content from HTML comments, noting that pre‑processing overhead outweighs the benefit—though site admins can tweak the summary agent prompt to ignore them. [See the decision](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406275/3?silent=true).

### #Support

- @Adamengst accidentally changed a topic’s timestamp and ended up with most posts dated a week later than intended. @Moin [pointed to the Rails console guide](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406330/2?silent=true) for manually editing post dates. @Adamengst plans to try the console fix. [Get the details](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406330/1?silent=true).

- The disappearance of the **Starter** upgrade option left several free‑plan users confused. @Chapoi asked for screenshots, @Ondrej [confirmed the URL wasn’t working](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403167/29?silent=true), and finally @Rishabh [clarified](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403167/36?silent=true) that Starter has been made a legacy plan and the “Change Plans” page was removed for redesign. [Follow the discussion](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403167/24?silent=true).

- @Lew_Grothe asked whether enabling threading on a category retroactively formats existing replies into threads. @Falco [answered](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406314/3?silent=true) that it does not—threading is forward‑only, but moved replies will adapt to the threaded structure. [Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406314/1?silent=true).

- @Tobiaseigen raised the pain of communities without **Bootstrap mode** (now marked legacy): new users at TL0 can’t read PMs and struggle to engage. He [suggested](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/402468/16?silent=true) setting default trust level to 1 as a workaround, and @Merefield [seconded](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/402468/15?silent=true) the idea. [Join the discussion](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/402468/14?silent=true).

### #Site feedback

- @Moin noticed that avatars in quotes are broken **only in the translated version** of posts—the raw bucket URL bypasses the CDN again. The example topic shows the issue across multiple languages. [View the broken avatars](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406305/1?silent=true).

### #Plugin

- @Martin responded to user feedback on **Discourse Reactions** , discussing a potential “click to react” feature (copying Chat behaviour), the scrollability of the emoji picker, and pinning custom emojis to the top. @Chapoi [joined the conversation](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/183261/417?silent=true) with design thoughts. @Bartv [provided detailed UX suggestions](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/183261/413?silent=true). [Catch up on the plugin thread](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/183261/416?silent=true).

### #Announcements

- @NiceOldGuy shared a collection of historical resources on Discourse’s flat model, including Jeff Atwood’s canonical blog post and a 2017 topic on terminology. The [nested‑replies announcement](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/402812/64?silent=true) continues to generate conversation about trade‑offs vs. infinite scrolling.

- @Martin discussed the unified new view with @Moin, noting that marking a topic as unread bumps it to the top in the “All” subtab—a behaviour inherited from the old Unread list. @Sam [commented](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/404728/21?silent=true) that this seems fine for users who depend on it. [Read the exchange](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/404728/18?silent=true).

- @Mcwumbly updated the **Upcoming Changes** announcement, clarifying that for self‑hosters, beta features are currently held until `stable` before auto‑enabling, and [proposed changing that setting](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/392894/29?silent=true) to align with the documentation. [View the update](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/392894/29?silent=true).

### #ux

- @Seanblue discovered that right‑clicking inside the composer (even on the textarea) can trigger actions on an image behind the composer because the image’s context menu bleeds through. @Chapoi [reproduced the bug](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406325/2?silent=true) on the composer container but not the textarea, and marked it #wontfix as low impact. @Seanblue [later clarified](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406325/5?silent=true) it depends on the editor (RTE vs. Markdown). [Report the quirk](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406325/1?silent=true).

- @Chapoi acknowledged a longstanding issue where the AI title suggest icon is placed above the title input field due to absolute positioning, and [promised to fix it](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406256/2?silent=true) when time allows.

## Activity by the @Team Group

Team members were active across many topics yesterday. Here is a summary of their contributions:

- @Sam participated in three topics: he noted the `&rsquo;` issue on the oops page likely came from a security fix, [commented on the nested‑replies placeholder bug](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406322/3?silent=true) to loop in @Markvanlan, and [shared his thoughts](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/404728/21?silent=true) on the unified new view’s bump‑to‑top rule.

- @Markvanlan responded to the nested‑replies placeholder bug, [confirming](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406322/4?silent=true) that placeholders with no descendants should be dropped and that `nested-replies` are moving back to `/t/` in the next release.

- @Zogstrip [linked to a PR](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406309/5?silent=true) on the GitHub repo to fix the HTML entity encoding in oops‑page titles.

- @Chapoi was especially busy: he [tended the right‑clicking‑composer bug](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406325/2?silent=true), [confirmed the AI button placement issue](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406256/2?silent=true), [helped with the Starter plan support thread](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403167/25?silent=true), and [contributed design ideas](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/183261/417?silent=true) to the Discourse Reactions thread.

- @Martin engaged in two long‑running topics: he [updated the unified new view announcement](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/404728/18?silent=true) with findings about the bump‑to‑top behaviour, and [responded to community feedback](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/183261/416?silent=true) on the Reactions plugin, discussing potential UI improvements.

- @Rishabh [provided the official clarification](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403167/36?silent=true) about the Starter plan being made legacy and the removal of the “Change Plans” page.

- @Mcwumbly [added information](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/392894/29?silent=true) to the Upcoming Changes announcement, noting that self‑hosted sites currently wait until `stable` to auto‑enable beta features, and proposed aligning the setting with the documentation.

- @Pmusaraj was referenced by @Martin regarding DiscourseHub updates for the unified new view, but did not post in the last 24 hours.

- @Osama was referenced as one of the implementers of the unified new view, but also did not post.

- @J.Jaffeux was mentioned in the Reactions thread about local storage for frequently used emojis, but did not post in this period.

- @Lindsey’s original Upcoming Changes post was cited, but she did not post in the last 24 hours.

## Interesting Topics

### #Self-hosting

- @Lilly discovered that custom emojis uploaded via S3 or Cloudflare R2 bypass the CDN routing and load directly from the raw bucket URL. @Falco pointed out that the issue may be a misconfiguration of the two‑CDN setup, and after further testing @Lilly confirmed it was a typo in her Cloudflare DNS record. A PR and a theme component were provided as interim solutions. [Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406384/1?silent=true)

- @CLOUD_PHT reported that after commit b4a3389, user IP detection broke when Discourse is behind an external nginx. @Lilly recommended switching to a Unix socket, while @Supermathie wrote a detailed guide on configuring `real_ip_header` and `set_real_ip_from` directives inside the container. [Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406267/1?silent=true)

- @Supermathie published a comprehensive how‑to for handling the “chain of trust” of the end user’s real IP when multiple proxies (Cloudflare, load balancers) sit in front of Discourse.

- @Willy shared a working method to install local plugins without a third‑party host by mounting a host directory and copying it into the Discourse plugins folder during the `after_code` hook. @Pfaffman and @Nicolsdennis discussed alternatives like symlinks and handling database migrations. [Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406009/1?silent=true)

### #Announcements

- @Loic published the **June 2026 monthly release** (v2026.6) along with patch releases for older supported versions. The full changelog is available on [releases.discourse.org](http://releases.discourse.org). [Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406435/1?silent=true)

- @Mcwumbly and @Moin discussed the **Upcoming Changes system** : how beta changes are enabled, sorting by status, and the default behavior for self‑hosted sites. @Mcwumbly clarified that currently, self‑hosters only see changes promoted to `stable`. [Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/392894/29?silent=true)

- @Martin announced that Discourse Reactions will be **enabled by default** for all sites via an upcoming change. @Pfaffman suggested adding a note to the main Reactions plugin topic, which @Martin did. [Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403795/6?silent=true)

- @Chapoi discussed the **inline integration of AI Suggestions** in the composer, noting that the UI should be consistent across different contexts (composer, chat, etc.). Feedback from @Falco and @Nicolsdennis followed. [Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/405394/6?silent=true)

### #bug

- @Nicolsdennis reported that in the nested replies view (`/n/`), deleted posts with no descendants still show placeholders, inflating page counts. @Markvanlan acknowledged the issue and plans to either skip them or move them to the end. @Falco suggested alternative sorting. [Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406322/1?silent=true)

- @Tannerabread fixed a long‑standing bug where **spoilers inside `<details>` elements did not toggle**. The fix has been merged and should be available soon. [Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/194499/7?silent=true)

[Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406418/1?silent=true)

### #Plugin

- @Martin gathered user feedback on the **Discourse Reactions** plugin and discussed possible improvements: allowing one‑click “join in” reactions, placing custom emojis at the top, making frequently used emojis more accessible, and storing recent emojis server‑side instead of browser local storage.

## Interesting Topics

### #Self-hosting

- **Error running remap after changing site url** – @Tobiaseigen encountered a persistent `duplicate key value` error when running `discourse remap` after a domain change. @Lilly provided detailed SQL steps to delete conflicting rows in `browser_pageview_referrer_daily_rollups` and `topic_links`, eventually leading to a successful remap. The thread also sparked a feature request for a `discourse db` command. [Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/error-running-remap-after-changing-site-url/406649?silent=true)

- **Avatars take a long time to load after moving to S3-compatible R2** – @David_Ghost tested four storage configurations (R2, S3, with/without CDN) and consistently faced slow avatar loading. @Pfaffman and @Lilly suggested the issue is likely due to avatar generation on first access, not storage choice. @Falco pointed to the [avatar image serving change](https://meta.discourse.org/t/update-avatar-image-serving-remove-proxy-method/350715?silent=true) as a potential cause. [Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/avatars-take-a-long-time-to-load-after-moving-to-s3-compatible-r2/405827?silent=true)

- **Rebuild failure – possibly related to rolldown?** – @Tanya_Byrne reported a rebuild error after removing a core plugin. @David identified the root cause as running `rm -rf` on a core plugin, which broke the asset processor. He improved the error handling in [PR #41415](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/41415). @Merefield asked about safely overriding core plugin templates. [Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/rebuild-failure-possibly-related-to-rolldown/406498?silent=true)

### #Feature

- **Accept paste input during installation** – @Philh noted that the new Discourse installer doesn’t support pasting API keys, making setup tedious. @Moin pointed to the existing feature request. @Falco quickly [made a fix](https://meta.discourse.org/t/accept-paste-input-during-installation/404191?silent=true) to allow paste input, slated for the next installer build. [Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/accept-paste-input-during-installation/404191?silent=true)

- **Configure number of different reactions visible below a posting** – @Dreieck requested an admin setting to show more than three reaction types (or all) below a post, as his organization uses reactions for meaningful voting. @Lilly suggested a custom plugin, and @Dreieck proposed showing a “…” indicator when reactions overflow. [Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/configure-number-of-different-reactions-visible-below-a-posting/406669?silent=true)

- **Profile spam: Option to delete account and block email but not the IP address** – @Dax announced that [PR #41258](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/41258) has been merged, adding the ability to delete accounts and block email domains without blocking the IP, improving anti-spam precision. [Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/profile-spam-option-to-delete-account-and-block-email-but-not-the-ip-address/257972?silent=true)

### #Support

- **Schedule site logo changes?** – @One1 asked if there’s a plugin to auto-change site logos for holidays. @Chapoi replied that no plugin exists, but demonstrated how to build a theme component using `registerValueTransformer("home-logo-image-url", ...)`. He even [shared a quick prototype](https://github.com/chapoi/discourse-scheduled-logo-change). [Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/schedule-site-logo-changes/406727?silent=true)

- **How does discourse handle conflicting watched word actions** – @M_Terenui asked what happens when the same word is added to multiple watched word lists (e.g., block, flag, censor). @Awesomerobot explained that **Block** takes priority because it prevents post creation; all other actions (flag, approval, silence, censor) can fire independently. @Moin noted that words can only belong to one list at a time in the UI (unless using regex). [Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-does-discourse-handle-conflicting-watched-word-actions/406682?silent=true)

- **Can’t regenerate Discourse ID credentials after changing domain name** – @Tobiaseigen reported that Discourse ID breaks after a domain change, and the “Regenerate credentials” button fails. @Pmusaraj explained that on self-hosted sites there’s no event to trigger automatic credentials refresh, but toggling Discourse ID off/on clears the credentials and creates new ones, resolving the issue. [Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/cant-regenerate-discourse-id-credentials-after-changing-domain-name/406648?silent=true)

- **Ocultar menú flotante** – @Laguna (Spanish) asked how to hide floating category/tag dropdowns. @Lilly recommended the [Custom Top Navigation Links](https://meta.discourse.org/t/custom-top-navigation-links/87225?silent=true) theme component with specific settings. @Laguna confirmed it worked. [Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/ocultar-menu-flotante/406598?silent=true)

### #Announcements

- **Review and suspend accounts which are not yet activated** – @Mcwumbly announced a new feature adding an activation filter and bulk suspend action in Admin \> Users \> New, making it easier to handle waves of suspicious unverified registrations. The feature was merged in [PR #41227](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/41227). [Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/review-and-suspend-accounts-which-are-not-yet-activated/406639?silent=true)

- **June 2026 monthly release** – @Elmuerte pointed out that the CVE numbers listed in the release notes did not match the actual Discourse security advisories (they pointed to unrelated software). @Loic confirmed the CVEs were not yet propagated. The confusion led to a fix in the release generation process. [Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/june-2026-monthly-release/406435?silent=true)

- **Self-Hosting Discourse Just Got a Whole Lot Easier** – @Unicom asked if they can use a Discourse domain while deciding on their own domain. @Chapoi confirmed it’s possible to switch later using the standard domain change guide, and noted the feature is well-received. [Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/self-hosting-discourse-just-got-a-whole-lot-easier/393915?silent=true)

### #ux

- **The prompt message given when upcoming changes are officially added is not clear enough** – @Noble_Fish reported that when an upcoming change becomes permanent, the notification says “has been automatically enabled” but clicking it navigates to a page where the setting no longer exists. @Martin fixed the notification link in [PR #41385](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/41385) and clarified that permanent changes now appear on `/admin/whats-new`. [Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/the-prompt-message-given-when-upcoming-changes-are-officially-added-is-not-clear-enough/406676?silent=true)

### #bug

- **Nested replies, flagging and staff color has no effect** – @Cuo_Wu discovered that in nested reply view, the flag button doesn’t work on the first post, and staff colors/official labels are missing. @Pmusaraj could reproduce the staff color issue (flagged as a bug), but not the flagging issue on non-first posts. @Cuo_Wu later confirmed flagging fails on the first post only. [Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/nested-replies-flagging-and-staff-color-has-no-effect/406636?silent=true)

### #Theme component

- **Post Score – Display engagement metrics on posts** – @Don released a new theme component that shows a weighted engagement score (likes, replies, bookmarks, reads) in the top right of posts. It calculates scores based on multiple signals to provide a “true community impact” metric. [Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/post-score-display-engagement-metrics-on-posts/406779?silent=true)

- @Lindsey confirmed that the Livestream feature is currently topic-only, with no out-of-the-box front-page placement.
- @Tannerabread fixed a `NoMethodError` after merging topics [in PR #41369](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/41369).

**Fun sign-off:** Yesterday’s most upvoted topic wasn’t about a fancy new feature—it was @Tobiaseigen getting stuck in a remap loop, proving that even domain changes can lead to an infinite loop of PostgreSQL error messages… and a whole lot of community SQL debugging! 🐘♾

- @Dannii also asked how to [configure 5](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406853?silent=true) after updating to version 2026.1.5, as a site advice appeared about SNS bounce notifications but no documentation was found. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406853/1?silent=true)

- @LaugeSvan encountered an SSL certificate error during their first Discourse installation – `PEM_read_bio_X509_AUX()` failed – likely due to hitting Let’s Encrypt rate limits after repeated rebuilds. @NateDhaliwal pointed to existing troubleshooting threads.

### #Plugin

- @Nicolsdennis asked about [integrating the Resenha voice‑rooms plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/389056/60?silent=true) with the Events plugin and about sidebar compatibility. @Falco clarified that while no direct hook exists yet, the plugin already offers a popup widget and a full‑page view for voice rooms.

### #Announcements

- The [GIFs moving to Discourse core](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/404829?silent=true) announcement sparked confusion. @Lilly initially struggled with Klipy vs. Giphy, but @Moin helped her discover that the GIF theme component must be uninstalled (and the core setting disabled) before re‑installing to keep using Giphy.

- In the [Granular group‑based permissions](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/402273/10?silent=true) discussion, @Noble_Fish noted they had been using TL0 group to mean “all logged‑in users” and expressed confusion about the varying definitions of “everyone” across different contexts.

- @Moin praised the [simple mode for Discourse Doc Categories](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403366/8?silent=true) but missed seeing subcategory information, which helps distinguish target audiences (e.g., hosted vs. self‑hosting). [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403366/8?silent=true)

### #Support

- @Andro asked how to [move the 8 tag](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406810?silent=true) to the top of email templates and what it contains. @Moin pointed to `/admin/email/templates` and `/admin/customize/site_texts`, and provided an AI‑generated list of email template keys.

### #Feature

- @42aross [contributed a PR](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406846?silent=true) to add `{username}` as a template parameter in AI persona system prompts, enabling personas to resolve the current user’s identity server‑side instead of relying on fragile LLM inference. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406846/1?silent=true)

- @Gilles [suggested improving the user search in chat](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406867?silent=true) – instead of clicking a “+” button, allow direct user search in the chat search bar for quicker contact initiation. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406867/1?silent=true)

### #bug

- @Overgrow [reported a critical iOS/iPadOS 18.x bug](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406834?silent=true) where dragging to extend a text selection in the composer is frozen.

### #wordpress

- @Miednr [struggled with WP Discourse SSO](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406809?silent=true) not synchronizing local avatars from the Advanced Site Enhancements plugin.

### #Integrations

- @M_Terenui asked about [setting up Gemini API keys for Discourse AI](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/320688/2?silent=true) after Google’s security changes now require service accounts. No official response yet, but the topic reveals a growing pain point for self‑hosters. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/320688/2?silent=true)

## Activity by the @Team Group

- @Moin was highly active, helping @Lilly troubleshoot the GIFs‑to‑core migration by explaining that the GIF theme component hides the core setting – requiring uninstall/disable/reinstall steps ([#404829](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/404829/29?silent=true)). He also expressed the need for subcategory visibility in the new Doc Categories simple mode ([#403366](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403366/8?silent=true)), pointed @Andro to the email template editors for `respond_instructions` ([#406810](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406810/2?silent=true)), and reported the hidden profile date display bug in the team group list ([#406816](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406816/1?silent=true)). Additionally, he commented on the Post Type composer actions dropdown ([#403635](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403635/15?silent=true)) and asked about the “Permanent” filter on the upcoming changes page ([#402433](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/402433/3?silent=true)).

- @Falco provided in‑depth responses on the Resenha plugin, explaining current popup and full‑page view options while clarifying no direct Events hook exists yet ([#389056](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/389056/61?silent=true)). He also assisted a user with AI API logging – advising to check the `ai_api_audit_logs` table to debug a 500 error when querying the Qwen model ([#406799](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406799/2?silent=true)), and confirmed that Discourse does call AI APIs in the background for features like backfill, embeddings, and sentiment ([#406836](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406836/2?silent=true)).

- @Lilly contributed to the visitor access bug discussion, suggesting a possible SSO plugin conflict ([#406106](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406106/12?silent=true)). She also shared her own GIF configuration workaround after receiving help from @Moin ([#404829](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/404829/29?silent=true)).

- @NateDhaliwal offered practical advice on upping RAM to resolve 502/503 errors ([#406849](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406849/2?silent=true)), recommended existing threads for SSL certificate rate‑limit issues ([#406822](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406822/2?silent=true)), and encouraged a theme component author to include settings in the topic ([#406779](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/406779/2?silent=true)).

Yesterday’s activity proves that even when the GIFs are migrating and the Nginx configs are doing backflips, the meta community is always ready to help – with a _virtual_ high‑five (and maybe an actual one over Resenha voice rooms). 🎧

### #Feature

- @Small-Lovely-Cat proposed a feature to **allow users to delete their pending topics/posts from the activity page** , mirroring the existing pending-post deletion behaviour. @Darkpixlz questioned whether a confirmation prompt is needed, while @Moin and @Chapoi argued that destructive actions which can be recovered by staff don’t require one. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/feature-allow-user-to-delete-their-pending-topic-post-at-activity-page/406879/1?silent=true)

- @Gilles (via translation) raised an idea to **improve the user search experience in chat** for less technical users, noting that keyboard shortcuts (`cmd+k`) are not obvious on tablets and mobile. @Chapoi confirmed the shortcut exists but acknowledged the UX gap.

[read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/moderateur-par-categorie/406961/2?silent=true)

- @Gid explored **integrating Discourse with a Wix website** and asked about self-hosting, free tiers, and partnerships. @Chapoi clarified the difference between self-hosted (free but requires a server) and Discourse hosting, while @NateDhaliwal provided detailed answers on server requirements, embedding, Zapier webhooks, and even proposed a formal Wix partnership. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-forum-with-my-wix-website/406922/1?silent=true)

- @Ed_S sought clarity on **security fixes listed at [releases.discourse.org](http://releases.discourse.org)** when comparing unsupported versions. @David fixed a bug that prevented unsupported-release comparisons from showing all affected security issues, and added links from the admin dashboard to the changelog. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/confused-about-security-fixes-as-reported-at-releases-discourse-org/406566/11?silent=true)

### #Announcements

- @Lindsey announced the **removal of the Uncategorized category** and migration to a standard category to fix long-standing bugs. Site admins can opt in early via the “Upcoming changes” admin page; communities using only tags should install the tags-only theme component. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/removing-uncategorized-and-migrating-to-a-standard-category/406373/1?silent=true)

- @Merefield pushed a major performance improvement to **Topic List Previews (TLP)**: native CSS masonry rendering in Safari (and Chrome/Firefox with experimental flags), with a fallback to the existing approximation. This dramatically reduces rendering overhead. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-list-previews-tlp/209973/736?silent=true)

### #General

- @Nicolsdennis showcased a **Discourse Desktop Mac app** built with native features: sidebar inversion, cinema widget view, multi‑forum support without tabs, and offline browsing. @Awesomerobot asked about availability, and @Putty inquired about advantages over a browser.

### #bug

[read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/category-description-truncates-to-first-paragraph-for-primary-base-language-but-not-for-localizations-panel-languages/406801/2?silent=true)
