# Today on [meta.discourse.org](http://meta.discourse.org)… **Daily summary for 7–8 September 2026** ## Key Stats In the latest 24-hour snapshot, [meta.discourse.org](http://meta.discourse.org) saw **180 posts** across **61 topics** , with **189 likes** given in the sampled activity. | Top users | Posts | Likes | | --- | --- | --- | | @Nat | 12 | 22 | | @Moin | 17 | 20 | | @Sam | 5 | 15 | | @NateDhaliwal | 11 | 11 | | @Merefield | 12 | 9 | | @Zogstrip | 3 | 9 | | @Angus | 2 | 7 | | @Small-Lovely-Cat | 1 | 7 | | @Satonotdead | 15 | 6 | | @Martin | 4 | 6 | ## Interesting Topics ### #Announcements - The **Ask AI** search discussion continued to generate feedback: @EricGT [asked for a larger prompt field and sortable “Show all matching topics” results](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411346/8?silent=true), while @Nat [explained the difference between Ask AI and the full-page AI Bot](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411346/9?silent=true). @Moin [flagged that the “in this topic” search state gets lost](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411346/20?silent=true) after editing a query, and @Sam [shared an AI-generated state diagram](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411346/29?silent=true) grounded in the implementation. Related conversations also covered [how to tag Ask AI topics](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411577/3?silent=true) and [debugging blank Ask AI responses](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411572/7?silent=true). - With #voice now bundled, @MiniForum [asked whether a LiveKit media server is needed for 40+ users](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411337/30?silent=true), and @Falco [confirmed that LiveKit is necessary only for large simultaneous video rooms](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411337/36?silent=true). @Satonotdead [shared practical self-hosting caveats](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411337/35?silent=true), while @Angus [suggested “live” as a more natural adverb/verb-friendly name](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411337/39?silent=true) for the feature. - The **granular group-based permissions** change continued to draw debate: @Merefield [questioned the removal of the “everyone” group](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/402273/43?silent=true), and @Martin [defended the move](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/402273/44?silent=true), explaining that “everyone” had inconsistent meaning across settings and plugins. @Martin later [suggested a “Public” shortcut in the group picker](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/402273/46?silent=true) to keep the convenience while using explicit groups underneath. Related AI agent setting fallout was [reported and patched separately](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411841/1?silent=true). - The #signup change to email-code login drew practical feedback from @Ecki, who [listed rough edges](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/407068/31?silent=true) including hidden usernames and awkward random usernames for real users. @Moin [connected that change to the “wild signup form” report](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411827/2?silent=true), where the username field disappeared entirely. ### #bug - Badge-linked topics stopped appearing under badges such as _Nice Reply_ and _Nice Topic_; @Sam [traced the regression to the warpdrive JavaScript model framework update](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411593/3?silent=true) and [opened a fix](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411593/4?silent=true). @BOUCUR later [confirmed the fix looked good](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411593/5?silent=true). - Admins suddenly saw “Your site may not work because Horizon” warnings; @Donaldsoncd [reported the console error](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411894/1?silent=true), @Zogstrip [acknowledged the issue was known](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411894/2?silent=true), and @David [confirmed a fix within the hour](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411894/3?silent=true). - @Small-Lovely-Cat [diagnosed an I18n regression](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411859/1?silent=true) caused by the ruby-i18n 1.15.x update, explaining how copied Fiber configurations could leak an explicit `@locale` into the wrong request. @Nat [began investigating](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411859/2?silent=true) and a rollback PR followed. - @Louk [reported glitches when editing recurring events](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411780/1?silent=true), where changing one occurrence appeared to affect the entire series. @Shahzadkhan [suggested selecting “This occurrence only”](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411780/2?silent=true). Relatedly, @Nathank [praised a PR](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/370600/17?silent=true) that would create individual event topics for recurring events. ### #Support - @Richie [asked how to hide all the newly appearing voice badges](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411891/1?silent=true) on a site without voice enabled. @NateDhaliwal [pointed to the badge group settings](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411891/2?silent=true) to bulk-remove the Voice group, and @Zogstrip [agreed voice badges probably should not be enabled by default](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411891/3?silent=true) when #voice is off. - @Jenmck [asked about the pitfalls of allowing username changes indefinitely](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411865/1?silent=true). @Ondrej [shared a “once every two years” policy](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411865/2?silent=true) from another community, while @Satonotdead [suggested six months](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411865/4?silent=true) as a reasonable middle ground. - @Fabien_1015 [chased an intermittent 500 error after an upgrade](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411566/8?silent=true), eventually finding `client_ip = 'unix:'` in the logs. @Merefield [identified a likely Caddy/Unix-socket misconfiguration](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411566/9?silent=true), and @Fabien_1015 [confirmed the missing 2 header was the cause](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411566/10?silent=true). Similar upgrade breakage was also covered in [What to know before upgrading](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411291/4?silent=true) and a [build failure topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411795/4?silent=true). ### #Plugin - @Jenmck [detailed serious admin panel issues in Custom Wizard](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/73345/992?silent=true) after an upgrade, and @Angus [merged a fix for the admin panel](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/73345/993?silent=true), asking her to confirm it resolved the problems. - @Arkshine [announced a major Watermark Image update](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/347138/49?silent=true) with watermark profiles, tag support, text watermarks, advanced QR styling, and a manual watermark toggle. @Josuens14 [had asked whether an issue was already reported](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/347138/48?silent=true), prompting the release notes. ### #Theme component - @Don [refactored the Topic Preview Modal theme component](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/409712/75?silent=true), cutting `topic-preview-modal.gjs` from 1,836 to 873 lines with no intended functional changes. Separately, @Joo [reported that the lightbox triggered External Link Shield’s exit confirmation](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/392962/12?silent=true), which @Don [resolved by suggesting the CDN domain be added to 4](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/392962/13?silent=true). ### #ux - @Satonotdead [proposed moving “change author” into the topic tools menu](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411836/1?silent=true) instead of keeping it on the first post. @Merefield and @Moin [pushed back](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411836/4?silent=true), with @Moin [explaining the conceptual separation](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411836/5?silent=true) between post-level actions and topic-level actions. ## Activity by the @Team Group - @Sam [confirmed and fixed the badge-link regression](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411593/3?silent=true), [shared an Ask AI state diagram](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411346/29?silent=true), [discussed the future of the mail-receiver Docker image](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411734/4?silent=true), and [acknowledged a Microsoft Edge security error report](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411467/2?silent=true). - @Nat was especially active across AI and search: [responded to Ask AI UI feedback](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411346/9?silent=true), [clarified the AI Bot versus Ask AI distinction](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411346/14?silent=true), [investigated the I18n regression](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411859/2?silent=true), [announced the merged 5 setting](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/256772/16?silent=true), and [provided debugging steps for blank Ask AI responses](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411572/7?silent=true). - @Martin [explained the rationale for granular group permissions](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/402273/44?silent=true), [proposed a “Public” shortcut UI](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/402273/46?silent=true), and [fixed AI agent group settings affected by the 6 group change](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411841/4?silent=true). - @Zogstrip [acknowledged the Horizon warning](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411894/2?silent=true), [flagged that voice badges should not default without voice enabled](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411891/3?silent=true), and [fixed the chunked backup uploader rate-limit bug](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411386/3?silent=true). - @David [confirmed the Horizon fix was live](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411894/3?silent=true). - @Angus [fixed the Custom Wizard admin panel](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/73345/993?silent=true) and [offered naming thoughts on Voice](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411337/39?silent=true). - @Falco [advised on LiveKit requirements](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411337/36?silent=true) for scaling voice rooms to 40+ users. - @Pmusaraj [asked for build details and backtraces](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/266794/497?silent=true) on the ongoing ActivityPub plugin build failure. - @Featheredtoast [apologized for the Docker ESR regression](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411291/5?silent=true) and said a fix was already in flight. - @Kris.Kotlarek [reproduced the discourse-events 500 error on deleting a topic in development](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411731/4?silent=true) and submitted a PR to fix the development load path. * * * From AI searching to voice rooms, wizards being fixed, and badges linking again, yesterday proved that Discourse is never short on conversation — just try not to double-tap that quote button on a tablet today! ---

**Help AI goes off the rails.** @Steve_Walmsley reported a bizarre conversation with the [Discourse help AI](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412208?silent=true), where it gave bad advice, denied saying what it had just said, and accused him of lying even after screenshots. @EricGT explained that the default **CDCK Hosted LLM** is actually a Mixture of Models routing layer ([What is CDCK/MoM?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-is-cdck-mom/407844?silent=true)) and pointed admins to the [Discourse AI LLM settings page](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-ai-large-language-model-llm-settings-page/319903?silent=true) ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412208/6?silent=true)). - **Minimum activity on hosted plans.** @Chaitanyji asked whether a Discourse-hosted community can survive with almost no activity, and @Pfaffman suggested [self-hosting on a residential internet with Cloudflare Tunnel](https://meta.discourse.org/t/install-discourse-on-a-residential-internet-with-cloudflare-tunnel/211297?silent=true) as a no-requirements alternative ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403615/7?silent=true)). @HAWK wondered whether even one post a month from the admin would be enough ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/403615/9?silent=true)). - **MinIO installer failing again.** @Merefield reported that the [MinIO installer used in plugin system-test CI is failing again with HTTP 410](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412290?silent=true), linking back to [the earlier MinIO installer CI breakage](https://meta.discourse.org/t/minio-installer-breaks-ci/401370?silent=true). ### #ux - **Onebox diffing is hard on the eyes.** @Moin reported that [a onebox in the edit history takes up too much space](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412207?silent=true), and @Zogstrip acknowledged the diffing challenge while pointing to a core PR that should improve it ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412207/3?silent=true)). - **Mobile event chat UI is oversized.** @NateDhaliwal flagged that [mobile event chat UI elements look too large](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412206?silent=true), with the plus button cut off on screen. @Awesomerobot confirmed fixes are on the way in PR #43601 ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412206/3?silent=true)). - **Subcategory link hover cards are getting richer.** @Awesomerobot shared work-in-progress on [making inline links to subcategories more concise](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/397217?silent=true), showing hover cards with the parent category, description, a new topic button, and a few latest topics ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/397217/22?silent=true)). ### #Feature - **Counts for unreads and tracked topics.** @Mbauman asked to [see unread and tracked topic counts at a top level](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412106?silent=true), and @Mcwumbly said it was worth exploring a next iteration now that “unified new” has landed ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412106/2?silent=true)). - **Localizing category topic templates.** @SilentNewt95 proposed adding `topic_template` to `CategoryLocalization` so bilingual communities don’t have to cram German/English labels onto one line, and linked to [related localized categories work](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/32464?silent=true) ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412279/1?silent=true)). ### #Plugin - **Workflows expression language explained.** @Lou asked how to use lowercase values in [Discourse Workflows](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/407100?silent=true), @Zogstrip suggested `toLowerCase()`, and @Ethsim2 explained that Workflows expressions are sandboxed JavaScript with n8n-like conventions ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/407100/59?silent=true)). ## Activity by the @Team Group The @Team group had a busy 24 hours across core fixes, AI experiments, and UX polish. - @Sam shared the detailed [DeepSeek run for the MCP theme-building test](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412056/12?silent=true), and posted a [fix for the Spam Detector Agent LLM not persisting in the Features tab](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412189/2?silent=true). - @Falco explained that `thumbs down` responses on ask.discourse are actually flags, not hidden metrics, in [About thumbs up and down in ask.discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412289/2?silent=true), and answered access-control questions about [Discord-style voice rooms](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411337/53?silent=true). - @Awesomerobot confirmed [mobile event chat UI fixes](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412206/3?silent=true), merged the [Zulip brand icon request](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412153/4?silent=true), shared richer [subcategory link hover cards](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/397217/22?silent=true), and untangled a [review-queue regression](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411693/6?silent=true) where an approve button appeared after a user was suspended. - @Mcwumbly moved [cohort group onboarding](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412198/6?silent=true) to #Community Building, encouraged exploring [top-level unread/tracked counts](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412106/2?silent=true), outlined a potential [voice access-control approach via categories and chat channels](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411337/55?silent=true), and asked for more scenarios in the [private email preference thread](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412272/2?silent=true), which continues from [the existing private email setting](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/163032?silent=true). - @Zogstrip acknowledged the [onebox diffing issue](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412207/3?silent=true) and pointed to a core PR, and answered an expression-language question in [Discourse Workflows](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/407100/57?silent=true). - @David explained CloudFront/CORS behavior in the [Android/iOS composer troubleshooting thread](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412094/12?silent=true). - @Lindsey confirmed the team would review a community PR for [creating individual event topics for recurring events](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/370600/21?silent=true). * * * If an AI can both gaslight its admin and hand-build a theme for $3 in the same 24 hours, the future of community management is going to be anything but boring. ---

# Today on [meta.discourse.org](http://meta.discourse.org)… ## Key Stats Over the last 24 hours, the Meta community produced **66 new posts** , opened **38 new topics** , and handed out **60 likes** — with AI, localisation, and the shiny new Voice feature dominating the conversation. **Top users of the day:** | User | Posts | Likes | | --- | --- | --- | | @Satonotdead | 20 | 5 | | @Falco | 3 | 5 | | @Zogstrip | 2 | 5 | | @Sam | 1 | 5 | | @Merefield | 3 | 4 | | @Sono_Hen | 1 | 4 | | @Mcwumbly | 5 | 3 | | @NateDhaliwal | 3 | 3 | | @SilentNewt95 | 2 | 3 | | @Dan_Eastwood | 1 | 3 | ## Interesting Topics ### #Community Building - @Merefield asked whether Meta has a policy on AI attribution, and @Moin pointed to the [guidelines](https://meta.discourse.org/guidelines), which state: - @Sono_Hen introduced their new Japanese community, “Doushitara Ii Project” (“What should I do?”), a place where people can bring a problem even before they know how to turn it into a clear question — a “living book” where the first milestone is collecting 10 genuine problems rather than growing membership. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/409282/8?silent=true) - @Thomas_Rother shared the [Call for Participation](https://content.events.ccc.de/cfp/40c3/index.en.html) for **40C3** , which moves to the larger Hamburg Messe venue, and revived the idea of a Discourse operator meetup at the congress after last year’s [attempt](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-meetup-at-ccc-congress-in-hamburg/389731?silent=true) drew limited responses. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412300?silent=true) ### #Feature - @Satonotdead wondered whether the thumbs up/down mechanism on ask.discourse could become a general feature, noting it’s an indispensable tool for monitoring AI replies. @Falco [clarified that thumbs up are likes and thumbs down are flags](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412289/2?silent=true), and @AdamWargon recalled that @Codinghorror deliberately avoided a thumbs-down button to protect dialogue — prompting @Satonotdead to suggest a thumbs up/down graph in the admin panel, independent of moderation. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412289?silent=true) - @SilentNewt95 proposed adding `topic_template` to `CategoryLocalization` so composer prefills match each member’s interface locale, with a fallback to the category’s default template. Their [implementation sketch](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412279/2?silent=true) covers the trivial migration, admin UI work, and extending the AI Content Localization pipeline — motivated by a bilingual DE/EN community that currently lives with clunky bilingual checklist templates. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412279?silent=true) - @Tobiaseigen, inspired by the “private email” site setting, asked for a per-user preference so each member can decide their own risk profile for email notifications. @Mcwumbly [asked for illustrative scenarios](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412272/2?silent=true) to help shape the feature. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412272?silent=true) ### #Support - @Merefield reported that the [MinIO installer is failing again with an HTTP 410](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412290/1?silent=true) — a repeat of [the earlier CI breakage](https://meta.discourse.org/t/minio-installer-breaks-ci/401370?silent=true) — as upstream `minio/minio` and `minio/mc` are now archived and community builds are source-only. @Ducks is [forking the repos and building binaries](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412290/5?silent=true) to keep Discourse’s specs running, while @Satonotdead suggested [Garage](https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/) and [RustFS](https://github.com/rustfs) as alternatives — though @RGJ noted both lack the ACL functionality Discourse needs. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412290?silent=true) - @Mcwumbly [split a topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412198/6?silent=true) on cohort-based groups into #Support and #Community Building, suggesting Workflows could run on a scheduled trigger to create `YYYY-MM` groups and then add members to the right one — and invited the OP to share how the cohort groups fit into their community over time. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412198?silent=true) - @Haydenjames shared hard-won lessons from [jumping from 2026.1 ESR to 2026.7](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/408779?silent=true): the rebuild now migrates you to PostgreSQL 18 and then stops, requiring a second `./launcher rebuild app`; the `rich_editor` site setting is gone in favor of a per-user toggle; and Cloudflare’s “XSS, HTML Injection – Script Tag” managed rule can block theme saves with a 403 until you add a skip rule for `PUT /admin/themes`. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/408779?silent=true) - @Icaria36 followed up on the older [RSS Polling limits question](https://meta.discourse.org/t/are-there-any-upper-limits-to-the-rss-polling-plugin/315137/7?silent=true) and opened a [new topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412322/1?silent=true) noting that podcast-style feeds with thousands of entries can pin Sidekiq for 20+ minutes even when nothing changed — suggesting a quick no-change exit, a limit to the first NN entries, or a hard time cap on polling. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412322?silent=true) ### #Extras - @Sam ran an unattended test of the Discourse MCP server using DeepSeek 4.1 flash, the [Chrome DevTools MCP](https://github.com/ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcp), and Qwen 3 Image to build a complete theme from the [original brief](https://meta.discourse.org/t/using-discourse-mcp-to-quickly-build-a-theme/412056?silent=true) — costing around **$1.52 off-peak** at 99% cache read vs. an estimated $50–100 for GPT-6 Astra. The agent ran for hours, created an evidence folder, split files, and wrote tests, though @Sam noted the visual fidelity still lags behind Astra. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412056?silent=true) ### #Plugin - In the [Discourse Workflows](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/407100?silent=true) topic, @Lou wanted to match a topic title case-insensitively; @Zogstrip suggested `{{ $JSON.topic.title.toLowerCase() }}`, which worked, and @Ethsim2 identified the expression system as sandboxed JavaScript with n8n-like conventions — citing the [merge-node commit](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/bc639cad0f743ae39f86775a8882fdff1e5af55a) as evidence. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/407100/59?silent=true) ### #Announcements - In the bundled [Voice feature](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411337?silent=true) topic tagged #voice, @Mcwumbly outlined an access-control approach modeled on chat channels — private category, chat channel, enable voice — and @Falco [confirmed that associating a voice channel with a chat channel is on the roadmap](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411337/58?silent=true), while noting the immediate focus is getting the core audio/video experience right. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411337?silent=true) - Feedback on the new email-code signup rolled in: @Sandra.Mccollum found it [awkward with password managers](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/407068/37?silent=true) like Roboform, which fill username instead of email and then bounce off the email prompt, while @Jonathan5 worried the flow de-emphasizes sensible usernames, flagged that the system relies on being able to change usernames, and asked for confirmation that it won’t become mandatory. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/407068?silent=true) ### #bug - @NateDhaliwal reported that retracting your “Going” status on an event still leaves you in the event’s chat — presumably unintentional. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412261?silent=true) ## Activity by the @Team Group - @Sam shared his [Discourse MCP theme-building experiment](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412056/12?silent=true) end-to-end with DeepSeek flash, including the [full transcript](https://gisthost.github.io/?28dedf78da999ccca5b5b4feb1d58fc9/index.html) and a cost breakdown showing how cheap LLM-driven theme design can get. - @Zogstrip [thanked @Moin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412207/3?silent=true) for the onebox diffing bug report and pointed to a [PR that should improve diffing](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/43604); he also [helped @Lou](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/407100/57?silent=true) in the Discourse Workflows topic with case-insensitive expression matching. - @Mcwumbly [split and moved](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412198/6?silent=true) the monthly-cohort-groups discussion into #Support, [outlined access-control options](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411337/55?silent=true) for Voice channels, and [asked @tobiaseigen](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412272/2?silent=true) to expand on the private-email user preference. - @Falco [demystified ask.discourse reactions](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412289/2?silent=true) — thumbs up are likes, thumbs down are flags — and [confirmed voice-channel/chat-channel association is on the roadmap](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411337/58?silent=true). - @Merefield [flagged the MinIO breakage](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412290/1?silent=true) and [raised the AI attribution question](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/386953/10?silent=true) about Meta’s own posting policy. - @Ducks [acknowledged](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412290/2?silent=true) the MinIO failures and is [forking the upstream repos](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412290/5?silent=true) to build the needed binaries for Discourse’s CI. * * * Yesterday the humans on Meta debated how to spot AI-written posts while one of our own robots quietly built a whole theme for $1.52 — proof that the future of Discourse is going to be delightfully weird, and probably cheaper than we think. See you in the next 24 hours! ---

In a discussion about [AI responses in communities](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-do-you-handle-ai-responses-in-your-community/386953/13?silent=true), @Nickdb advocated for a visible zero-tolerance policy and AI flagging for low-trust users, while @Dan_Eastwood proposed using AI to force spam accounts into constructive engagement instead of outright removal [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-do-you-handle-ai-responses-in-your-community/386953/13?silent=true). ### #Extras - @Sam's [guide to giving Discourse AI agents skills](https://meta.discourse.org/t/giving-discourse-ai-agent-skills/408666/10?silent=true) led @Satonotdead to ask about importing the category-skills JSON; @NateDhaliwal clarified that the import lives under AI \> Agents, not Workflows [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/giving-discourse-ai-agent-skills/408666/11?silent=true). ### #Feature - @Roke_Julian_Lockhart filed a request to [render the HTML 1 element](https://meta.discourse.org/t/render-the-q-element/412324/1?silent=true) so inline quotation marks can follow locale conventions such as guillemets instead of being stripped out by default [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/render-the-q-element/412324/1?silent=true). ### #Plugin - @AJ_Quick introduced [Advanced Google Analytics (v4)](https://meta.discourse.org/t/advanced-google-analytics-v4/412327/1?silent=true), a plugin that measures attentive reading time, progress milestones, completion events, and search/registration/login events on top of core GA4 page views, with an optional managed mode for excluding private routes [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/advanced-google-analytics-v4/412327/1?silent=true). ### #Self-hosting - @Exodrifter traced a [backup upload failure](https://meta.discourse.org/t/backup-upload-failure-due-to-uninitialized-transfermanager/409303/6?silent=true) to an obsolete Backblaze `aws-sdk-s3` downgrade; removing the old workaround made backups work again, and @Ethsim2 shared ideas for self-expiring compatibility hooks so outdated pins don’t silently linger [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/backup-upload-failure-due-to-uninitialized-transfermanager/409303/6?silent=true). ### #Support -

@Jenmck shared enthusiastic feedback on [Discourse Boards](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-boards/411414/8?silent=true), asking for more than four columns, editable board titles, and better modal dismissal behavior. - @David reported that updates to CDKC’s hosted LLM should improve [Discourse AI](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-ai-going-off-the-rails/412208/12?silent=true) reliability after @Steve_Walmsley's report. - @Tobiaseigen asked how to bring back the [icebreaker onboarding prompt](https://meta.discourse.org/t/bringing-icebreakers-into-discourse/226140/4?silent=true) once a site is already up and running. * * * Yesterday may have archived boards and MinIO repos, but the forum’s enthusiasm stayed thoroughly un-archived — and picked up a few donation-worthy coffee credits along the way. ☕ ---

# Today on [meta.discourse.org](http://meta.discourse.org)… ## Key Stats Over the past 24 hours, Meta saw a healthy buzz of activity: **127 new posts** , **47 new topics** , and **171 likes** across the discussions. The most active and appreciated voices included: | User | Posts | Likes received | | --- | --- | --- | | @Moin | 20 | 26 | | @Martin | 4 | 19 | | @Mbauman | 10 | 14 | | @Awesomerobot | 7 | 14 | | @Satonotdead | 7 | 7 | | @Zogstrip | 2 | 6 | | @Ethsim2 | 6 | 4 | | @Lief | 3 | 4 | | @Mcwumbly | 2 | 4 | | @Chapoi | 1 | 4 | * * * ## Interesting Topics ### #Announcements - **Category hashtag cards get an upgrade.** @Martin rolled out [category hashtag floating cards and subcategory hashtag display improvements](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412529/1?silent=true), now enabled on Meta behind _Enable category hashtag cards_. The new card shows category details, an “Edit description” button for permitted users, and context-aware actions like “New Event.” Users have already asked about permanently disabling the cards and clarified click-through behavior ([feedback](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412529/2?silent=true)). Work continues on the related [subcategory hashtag formatting](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/397217/25?silent=true). - **Email-code signup flow improves.** [Easier account signup using email codes](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/407068/45?silent=true) received fixes for the staff-approval flow, with @Pmusaraj acknowledging confusion in the original flow, @Keegan pushing a fix PR, and @Rishabh sharing how to opt out of random usernames ([post 44](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/407068/44?silent=true)). A password-manager edge case is still being discussed ([post 46](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/407068/46?silent=true)). - **Event reminders via PM.** @Martin previewed [improved event reminder preferences](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412427/1?silent=true), a new upcoming change that allows reminders to be sent as personal messages so they’re more likely to reach members who aren’t logged in. Options include Notification, Personal message, and None. - **Composer redesign opens to all.** @Chapoi [enabled the composer redesign for everyone on Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/407849/56?silent=true) to cast a wider testing net, asking for reports of anything broken in unusual configurations. Early iOS feedback was also shared in [the same topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/407849/57?silent=true). ### #Feature - **Posting in a disabled language.** @Mbauman asked whether users can write in languages the site hasn’t enabled, pointing out the long tail of languages in technical communities ([original post](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412608/1?silent=true)). @Moin and @Nat both noted that Discourse AI already translates posts in any language ([FAQ link](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/370969/1?silent=true)), while @Awesomerobot acknowledged the composer menu could be hidden when only one language is supported ([post 10](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412608/10?silent=true)). Real-world community trials are referenced [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412608/13?silent=true). - **Sorting by OP edit time.** [Feature Request: Add “Order by OP Edit Time” to Topic Filter Queries](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/375857/3?silent=true) still lacks a built-in filter. @Olivia suggested [Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true), and @Moin highlighted category settings like unlimited owner edits on first post. @Lief described a practical editor-monitoring workflow ([post 5](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/375857/5?silent=true)); a related API endpoint discussion exists [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/252114/1?silent=true). - **Group owners and invites.** The older request [Allow group owners to invite users to a group they own in the initial invite](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/66560/7?silent=true) got new life after @Nina.D reported that group-page invite links can lack the group parameter. @Moin connected it to the existing request, and the specific bug is described [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412653/1?silent=true). ### #Support - **Workflow node cap.** [About the 50 max nodes limit in Workflows](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412562/1?silent=true) prompted a useful discussion about the hard limit, tagged #workflows. @Awesomerobot recommended splitting workflows with _workflow call_ nodes, @Mcwumbly noted sticky notes count toward the cap, and @J.Jaffeux hinted a limit increase is possible ([post 4](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412562/4?silent=true)). - **Structuring a BYDFi community.** [Best Way to Structure a Discourse Community for BYDFi Users?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412639/1?silent=true) asked how many categories are too many. @Awesomerobot advised starting with as few categories as possible and relying on tags for flexibility ([post 4](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412639/4?silent=true)). - **Voice badge visibility.** [How can I hide all the voice badges?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411891/7?silent=true) continues to cause confusion, with @Richie seeing badges return after updates. @Zogstrip is working on making plugin badges respect plugin enablement ([post 8](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411891/8?silent=true)). A related topic-link regression was reported [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411593/1?silent=true). ### #bug - **Dashboard page-view discrepancy.** @Moin noticed views were categorized as “other traffic” in [Has something changed in how page views are shown in the dashboard report?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412614/1?silent=true). @Kris.Kotlarek traced it to a tracking-method transition and prepared a [fix](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412614/5?silent=true). - **Board cards not draggable on iOS.** @Jagster reported [Cards in a Board can’t be dragged unless assigned](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412644/1?silent=true). @Awesomerobot reproduced it and merged a new core drag-and-drop implementation, which is now working much better on mobile ([post 2](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412644/2?silent=true)). ### #ux - **Subcategory hashtags get concise.** @Martin merged the long-requested [subcategory hashtag changes](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/397217/25?silent=true), now visible on Meta with examples like #Community Building > Praise and #Contribute > Bug. The related category card announcement has more details ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412529/1?silent=true)). - **Chat browse channels width.** @Awesomerobot fixed [the browse channels interface wider than the chat drawer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412254/2?silent=true), and @Moin confirmed the layout is much improved ([post 3](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412254/3?silent=true)). ### #Community Building - **Scrolling feed style platform.** [Using Discourse to Build a Blog, Reddit, X or Facebook-Style Scrolling Platform](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411945/44?silent=true) drew more interest, with @Satonotdead suggesting a theme component and @Damian_Boon noting fixes for Safari related-topic links in the Reddit-ish theme ([post 47](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411945/47?silent=true)); see the theme [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/269466/1?silent=true). * * * ## Activity by the @Team Group Here’s a look at what the @Team group was up to in the last 24 hours: - @Martin brought several announcements forward: [category hashtag cards](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412529/1?silent=true), [subcategory hashtag display changes](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/397217/25?silent=true), [improved event reminders](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412427/1?silent=true), and a board-building tip in [Discourse Boards](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411414/11?silent=true). - @Awesomerobot roved across Support and UX: [workflow node limits](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412562/2?silent=true), [BYDFi category structure](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412639/4?silent=true), [composer language menu](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412608/10?silent=true), [iOS board dragging](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412644/2?silent=true), [chat browse channels](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412254/2?silent=true), [tag rendering](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/395531/8?silent=true), and [login welcome page alignment](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411936/3?silent=true). - @Zogstrip resolved long-running [RSS polling delays](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412322/11?silent=true) and continued work on [plugin badges](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411891/8?silent=true). - @Pmusaraj, @Keegan, and @Rishabh teamed up on [email-code signup](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/407068/45?silent=true), with fixes for staff-approval flows and clearer random-username opt-out settings. - @Tgxworld fixed a Markdown edge case where `~~~` doesn’t prevent pasted content manipulation like triple backticks do ([read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412293/2?silent=true)). - @J.Jaffeux joined the [workflow limit discussion](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412562/4?silent=true), suggesting a 50→100 node increase is plausible. - @Kris.Kotlarek investigated [dashboard page-view reporting](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412614/5?silent=true) and submitted a fix for the tracking transition. - @Falco kept improving [voice rooms](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411337/65?silent=true), covering push-to-talk and native app possibilities. - @Chapoi opened the [composer redesign](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/407849/56?silent=true) to all Meta users for broader testing. - @Nat clarified that [localization already supports posting in unlisted languages](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412608/12?silent=true), and asked whether the composer menu makes that unclear. - @Mcwumbly gave feedback on [workflow node limits](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412562/3?silent=true) and [category hashtag cards](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412529/4?silent=true). * * * Whether it was untangling a 50-node limit, dragging boards from an iPhone, or convincing a community they can actually write in Esperanto, yesterday’s Meta proved there’s always something new to tinker with — and probably a topic about it. ---

There’s also a known separator bug that @Martin is still investigating. - @Nat announced that Discourse now ships with a [built-in MCP server](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412755/1?silent=true), allowing AI apps to search topics, summarize discussions, create posts, and more — with admins controlling permissions and scopes. The server is disabled by default, and @Satonotdead has already started planning lightweight client tests. - @Nat also shared a new [Ask AI dashboard section](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412735/1?silent=true) at `/admin`, including a “What users are asking” report that groups questions by subject. The report can be exported and optionally sent as a weekly PM to selected groups. - @Lindsey announced three new [Workflow nodes for Boards](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412558/1?silent=true): **Create board** , **Create board column** , and **Card moved** trigger. You can now automate Kanban board creation, column setup, and card movement on Business and Enterprise plans. - The [easier account signup using email codes](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/407068/44?silent=true) topic got important updates: @Rishabh shared how to opt out of random username generation, and @Keegan pushed an improvement to the flow for sites requiring staff approval. @Moin also reported a possible conflict with the `invite code` site setting that prevents signup emails from being sent. ### #Support - In [Prévenir un administrateur qu’il lit une catégorie privée dont il n’est pas membre](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412778/1?silent=true), @Mireille_Coilhac asked how to warn admins when they are viewing or posting in a private category they don’t belong to. @Awesomerobot opened a [PR for the Admin Warnings theme component](https://github.com/davidtaylorhq/discourse-admin-warnings/pull/7) to add exactly that warning. - @JimCanto’s [Zoho SalesIQ mobile black-screen issue](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412588/2?silent=true) turned into a group investigation with @Chapoi and @Dax. The black screen seems to happen in portrait orientation only, and @Dax confirmed the team was checking the ticket. ### #bug - @Zefoo reported [OP tagged wrongly on email notification on PM](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412725/1?silent=true) — when a user invites another user to a PM, the email notification showed the original topic author as the inviter instead. @Nat quickly confirmed the bug, submitted a [fix](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412725/4?silent=true), and the build has already gone out. - @Moin noticed a sudden change in [how page views are shown in the dashboard report](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412614/2?silent=true). @Kris.Kotlarek explained it was caused by a switch to a new browser pageview tracking method and opened a [PR to fix the report](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412614/5?silent=true), with @Moin confirming the fix works. - On [Samsung Internet — unable to add website to homescreen](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412721/1?silent=true), @Fake_Fakerson reported that the Samsung browser fails when installing Discourse as a PWA. @Awesomerobot and @Moin both tested, confirming “Add to home screen” works but the “Install as web app” path silently fails on Samsung Internet. ### #ux - @Jagster reported that [cards in a Board can’t be dragged unless assigned](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412644/1?silent=true) on iOS. @Awesomerobot reproduced the issue and swapped in a new core drag-and-drop implementation, which is now merged and working much better on mobile. - @Martin merged an improvement for [more concise inline links to subcategories](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/397217/25?silent=true), enabling compact forms like `#community-building:praise`. You can see the feature in the related category hashtag announcement, though a separator display bug is still being worked on. ### #Feature - @Canapin requested the ability to [mouse-swipe gallery items without opening the image viewer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412711/1?silent=true) on desktop. @NateDhaliwal and @Satonotdead confirmed touch swiping works on their devices, but @Canapin clarified they were specifically asking about desktop mouse interaction. - The [posting in a disabled language](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412608/11?silent=true) thread continued with @Mbauman explaining why the composer’s language menu makes it seem like non-supported languages can’t be used. @Nat clarified that auto-translation works for any language, and people can already post outside the supported locale list. ### #events - @Danielle posted a quick thank-you in [Webinar: Exploring Discourse Workflows](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412092/6?silent=true), confirming a replay will be available soon for everyone who missed the session. ## Activity by the @Team Group - @Nat double-announced two major features: the [built-in MCP server](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412755/1?silent=true) and the new [Ask AI dashboard section](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412735/1?silent=true). She also [fixed the wrong inviter PM email notification](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412725/4?silent=true), [clarified posting in disabled languages](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412608/12?silent=true), and [helped investigate a staged user date mismatch](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412726/2?silent=true). - @Martin shipped the experimental [category hashtag floating cards](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412529/1?silent=true), merged the [concise subcategory inline links](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/397217/25?silent=true), and announced [improved event reminder preferences](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412427/1?silent=true). He also helped explain [Discourse Boards column adding](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411414/11?silent=true). - @Awesomerobot was especially active: he [opened a PR for warning admins in private categories](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412778/5?silent=true), [fixed Board drag-and-drop on iOS](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412644/2?silent=true), [tested PWA installation on Samsung Internet](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412721/2?silent=true), and offered [CSS help for the login welcome message](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411936/3?silent=true). He also shared advice on [structuring a new community](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412639/4?silent=true), looked into [tag display issues](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/395531/8?silent=true), and discussed [private group events](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412794/2?silent=true). - @Mcwumbly helped guide the category card UX discussion on [category hashtag floating cards](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412529/4?silent=true), and pointed the community to the new Ask AI dashboard from the [AI discoveries and search UX project](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/409317/3?silent=true), plus the [built-in MCP server project](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411504/2?silent=true). - @Lindsey announced [new Workflow nodes for Boards](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412558/1?silent=true) and confirmed that [event filtering by tag](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/293977/3?silent=true) has now been addressed. - @Rishabh and @Keegan both advanced the [email code signup flow](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/407068/44?silent=true), with @Rishabh documenting the random username opt-out and @Keegan fixing the staff-approval flow. - @Sam fixed the [group invite link missing group parameter](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412653/3?silent=true) issue with a PR that’s now available in the build. - @J.Jaffeux joined the discussion about the [50 max nodes limit in Workflows](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412562/4?silent=true) and said he wouldn’t be against raising the limit to 100. - @Kris.Kotlarek diagnosed and fixed the [dashboard page views discrepancy](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412614/5?silent=true) after @Moin reported the old tracking numbers were missing. - @Chapoi and @Dax both got involved in the [Zoho SalesIQ mobile issue](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412588/2?silent=true), with @Dax confirming the team was already reviewing the ticket. - @Danielle wrapped up the [Workflows webinar](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412092/6?silent=true) and promised a replay for everyone who couldn’t attend. * * * It was a day of connecting everything to everything else — from AI apps getting their own MCP server to Kanban boards getting workflow automation, even the calendar reminders are now coming to you by PM! 🎉 ---

# Today on [meta.discourse.org](http://meta.discourse.org)… ## Key Stats In the last 24 hours, the community added **36 new topics** and **86 new posts** , with **118 likes** counted across those posts. The most active users were: | User | Posts | Likes | | --- | --- | --- | | @Nat | 5 | 27 | | @Moin | 17 | 15 | | @Lindsey | 1 | 8 | | @Thomas_Rother | 6 | 7 | | @Awesomerobot | 3 | 7 | | @Canapin | 3 | 5 | | @Mireille_Coilhac | 4 | 4 | | @Mcwumbly | 2 | 4 | | @Satonotdead | 2 | 4 | | @Danielle | 1 | 4 | ## Interesting Topics ### #Announcements - @Nat announced Discourse’s new **built-in MCP server** , letting AI apps search, read, summarize, and even write to your community after a user approves access. The server is disabled by default and includes moderation and site-setting tools for staff. See the [announcement](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412755/1?silent=true) and the earlier [Built-in MCP server project topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411504/2?silent=true) for context. - @Nat also introduced the new **Ask AI dashboard section** , which shows admins what users are asking, tracks unanswered questions, and can email weekly reports. More in [What users are asking with Ask AI](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412735/1?silent=true), with a link back to the original [Search better in your community with Ask AI](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411346?silent=true) feature. @Mcwumbly connected it to the [AI discoveries and search UX project](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/409317/3?silent=true). - The **unified new view for the topic list** continues to generate feedback: @Seanblue misses seeing unread replies without opening the New tab, @Gunnar says disabling the unified view restores the Unread link in the Discourse iOS app, and @Moin still wants a way to show both counts in DiscourseHub. Weigh in on [the announcement topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/404728/79?silent=true). - @Lindsey shared **three new Workflow nodes for Boards** — Create board, Create board column, and Card moved — so admins can automate Kanban board creation and card movement on Business and Enterprise plans. [Read the announcement](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412558/1?silent=true). - The **category hashtag floating cards** update drew mixed reactions: @Bartv feels the extra step hurts UX, while @Jagster notes admins can choose whether to enable it. Check the [improvements topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412529/12?silent=true), plus the related discussion about [inline subcategory links](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/397217/28?silent=true). ### #Support - A French-speaking admin asked how to warn admins when they read or reply to a private category they’re not a member of. @Moin suggested the `suppress_secured_categories_from_admins` setting and linked a similar [topic about warning admins when replying to closed topics](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/83912?silent=true), while @Awesomerobot opened a [PR to add the warning to the admin-warnings theme component](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412778/5?silent=true). [Original request](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412778/1?silent=true) - @JimCanto reported a **Zoho SalesIQ mobile black-screen issue** , where the chat widget covers Discourse in portrait mode; @Chapoi suggested checking SalesIQ’s widget settings, and @Dax confirmed the team is investigating. [Read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412588/2?silent=true). - @One1 spotted a **date mismatch on a staged user** : a spam PM was dated 11 days ago while the user account was created today. @Nat explained Discourse preserves email `Date` headers and asked for the full headers to confirm. [Follow the thread](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412726/1?silent=true). - @Jonathan5 wondered why only some plugins appear on `/admin/update`. @Moin and @Satonotdead explained that plugins added via `app.yml` — like the default [Docker manager plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/12655?silent=true) — show up there, while core-bundled components don’t. See also the [plugin installation guide](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/19157?silent=true) for context. [Read the help topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412762/1?silent=true). ### #bug - @Zefoo found that when a user invites someone to a PM, the email notification names the original topic OP instead of the inviter. @Nat confirmed the bug and it was [fixed in core](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412725/4?silent=true), which also resolves the older [Incorrect Inviter mentioned in e-mail notification](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/328460/3?silent=true) report. - @Fake_Fakerson and @Moin both hit **Samsung Internet failing to install Discourse as a PWA** ; the browser silently fails on “Add to home screen” though the shortcut method works. [Join the bug report](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412721/1?silent=true). - @Thomas_Rother found that **category types created via the simple workflow cannot be removed later** , e.g., “Discussion” remains after adding “Events”. @Moin explained this is by design since category types enable plugins. [Read the discussion](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412758/1?silent=true). ### #Feature - @Canapin reported that **pressing Enter twice in quick search no longer opens the advanced search page** , a behaviour they relied on heavily. [Vote or comment on the feature request](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412836/1?silent=true). ### #Developer Guides - A new guide documents how to **use the Discourse AI bot via the API** , including the streaming `stream-reply` endpoint, request parameters, and side effects — it creates real PM posts. [Read the guide](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412826/1?silent=true). ### #events - @Danielle thanked attendees of the **“Exploring Discourse Workflows” webinar** and promised a replay soon. [Find the details](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412092/6?silent=true). ## Activity by the @Team Group - @Nat launched the [built-in MCP server announcement](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412755/1?silent=true), shipped the [Ask AI dashboard report](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412735/1?silent=true), and helped debug the [staged user date mismatch](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412726/2?silent=true). - @Lindsey introduced the [new Workflow nodes for Boards](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412558/1?silent=true). - @Awesomerobot opened a [PR for admin warnings in private categories](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412778/5?silent=true), and pitched in on [Samsung Internet PWA install failures](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412721/2?silent=true) and [private group-internal events](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412794/2?silent=true). - @Nat fixed the [wrong inviter email notification](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412725/4?silent=true), and @Sam fixed a [missing group parameter in invite links](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412653/3?silent=true). - @Dax and @Chapoi took a look at the [Zoho SalesIQ black-screen issue](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412588/2?silent=true). - @Mcwumbly linked the [Ask AI dashboard](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412735/1?silent=true) to the [AI discoveries and search UX project](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/409317/3?silent=true), and pointed to the [built-in MCP server project](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411504/2?silent=true). - @Danielle shared the webinar follow-up for [Exploring Discourse Workflows](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412092/6?silent=true). - @Pedro asked for logs in [API permission required for triggering topic timer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412695/2?silent=true) and [Chat Integrations plugin doesn’t react on new posts](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412438/2?silent=true). * * * _From AI agents quietly reading your topics to Samsung browsers refusing to install PWAs, yesterday proved that even the smallest connection — or disconnection — can spark the best conversations._ ---

# Today on [meta.discourse.org](http://meta.discourse.org)… ## Key Stats The last 24 hours brought **37 new posts** across **17 new topics** , with **29 likes** given in appreciation. **Top users by likes and posts:** | User | Posts | Likes | | --- | --- | --- | | @Canapin | 4 | 5 | | @RGJ | 1 | 4 | | @Darkpixlz | 2 | 3 | | @Merefield | 2 | 3 | | @Jagster | 1 | 3 | @Moin was the most prolific poster, contributing 5 posts across support and bug threads. ## Interesting Topics ### #Site feedback - @Darkpixlz suggested that LLM-generated themes and plugins should be tagged as such, so users can avoid installing low-quality AI-produced assets. @RGJ countered that LLM-generated code is not inherently bad, and @Satonotdead agreed that all AI output still needs human auditing. [Read the full discussion](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412871/1?silent=true) ### #Announcements - Discourse announced **category hashtag floating cards** and improved subcategory hashtag display. However, @Bartv and @Jagster both expressed skepticism in the announcement thread, questioning the added value over direct links and the extra step for users. [See their feedback](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412529/12?silent=true) - The [new review queue layout](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/388194/51?silent=true) thread continued to see activity as @Ethsim2 confirmed that adding `logged_in_users` to the relevant site setting resolves access issues for anonymous users. ### #Feature - @Roberto_Capodieci shared **Chat Bridge** , a plugin that puts your forum’s Discourse chat on other websites via a single script tag. The plugin runs inside Discourse to avoid API key, rate-limit, and CORS issues, and supports channels, DMs, voice messages, and per-site styling. However, @Darkpixlz retracted a like after spotting a caveat. [Check out the plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412858/1?silent=true) - @Canapin reported that **pressing Enter after triggering a quick search no longer opens the advanced search page** — a feature they used frequently. The report includes steps to reproduce and a question about which category the issue belongs to. [View the bug report](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412836/1?silent=true) - The long-running request to [allow users to delete their own topics with no replies at any time](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/411689/14?silent=true) gained a thoughtful comment from @Robbie.Morrison, who argued the feature should remain site-specific and that the current 24-hour limit should stay as the default. ### #Support - A German-language admin warning about **legacy array-like object code** in themes or plugins sparked a troubleshooting thread. @Moin guided @Viddekla through [Safe Mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) testing and plugin updates, while @Merefield noted that a previous Locations plugin fix was indeed the culprit for one warning. [Follow the diagnosis](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412840/1?silent=true) - @Famousamos.1 needed help with **nested replies** and a newly created **uncategorized category** ; with the community’s assistance, one of the issues was successfully resolved. [Read the resolution](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412713/8?silent=true) - @Eisammy shared a video of a bizarre **browser flickering issue** that only occurs in one category and only when logged in. No cause identified yet, but the topic includes reproduction steps and console screenshots. [See the video](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412865/1?silent=true) ### #Plugin - @Canapin pushed a fix for **Topic Gallery** related to granular group permissions, correcting the group setting mapping for anonymous and logged-in users, and repaired the demo link. They also asked for help reviewing a PR that would add a general gallery setting, inviting sponsored code review. [Get the update](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394953/15?silent=true) ### #bug - The classic **editing a post takes me back many posts** issue resurfaced. @Gingerbeardman reproduced it on a forum running an old version, and @Moin confirmed that the forum is on v3.6.0.beta1-dev, over a year old, implying the bug has since been fixed. [Investigate the redux](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/180212/23?silent=true) - @Thomas_Rother tested API-key access for **private, group-internal events** and found that granular scopes do not permit filtering events by user group, even with the `events` scope listed in the docs. [See the test results](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412794/6?silent=true) - A new search bug was reported by @Canapin: **going from quick search to advanced search sometimes replaces the search terms with the literal “undefined”**. The bug is reproducible but intermittent. [Watch the demo](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412860/1?silent=true) ### #ux - @Denvergeeks shared ideas on making **inline links to subcategories more concise** , suggesting a carousel/slideshow interaction for linked cards and a composer tool to designate any list of internal links to be displayed as slides. [Join the UX discussion](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/397217/28?silent=true) ### #Developer Guides - A new documentation-style topic explains how to **use the AI bot via the Discourse API** , covering the raw chunked HTTP streaming endpoint, required API key scope, request body parameters, and side effects such as creating PM posts. [Read the guide](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412826/1?silent=true) ## Activity by the @Team Group - @Moin offered hands-on support in the German **Admin-Hinweis** thread, advising @Viddekla to try [Safe Mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) and check for plugin updates, then later pointing to a specific Locations plugin fix. [See @Moin’s troubleshooting](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412840/2?silent=true) - @Moin also diagnosed the **editing a post takes you back** bug, confirming the affected forum was running an outdated version and linking to the relevant release notes. [Read @Moin’s analysis](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/180212/24?silent=true) * * * From LLM-tagging debates to chat bridges that let your forum chat visit other websites — and a search bar that occasionally says “undefined” — it was a day of making Discourse talk, with or without its own consent! ---

# Today on [meta.discourse.org](http://meta.discourse.org)… The Meta community has been busy across the last 24 hours — 89 posts, 33 new topics, and 107 likes exchanged.

[read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412858/2?silent=true) **#Support** - **Random usernames?** — @Stephtara [asked](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412934/1?silent=true) whether auto-generated usernames like “PoutyTurtle58” were a new feature after three members signed up with them. @Darkpixlz [linked it to the email-code signup change](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412934/2?silent=true), @Moin [pointed out](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412934/6?silent=true) the `username_change_period` setting and the configurable “Random username nouns/adjectives” settings — also [wondering about locale-specific defaults](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/382521?silent=true) — and @Pmusaraj [confirmed](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412934/11?silent=true) the feature would default off within hours.

A theme-component override fixed it, and @JimCanto [confirmed success](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412588/10?silent=true).

[read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/350962/82?silent=true) **#Plugin** - **Topic Gallery** — @Canapin [released a fix](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394953/16?silent=true) for granular group permissions in the Topic Gallery plugin, following the [granular group-based permissions change](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/402273?silent=true), and repaired the broken demo link — warning that admins with `everyone` in permissions need to migrate to `anonymous_users` and `logged_in_users`. @Satonotdead [voted](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/394953/17?silent=true) for a general gallery view filterable by #categories or #tags.

[read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/401199/8?silent=true) ## Activity by the @Team Group - @Sam [shared his vision](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412871/7?silent=true) in the LLM-tagging discussion, calling third-party plugins “the wild west” and proposing AI-driven security scans for anything advertised in the marketplace; he also [advised @satonotdead](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412873/2?silent=true) on running pi.dev inside Discourse Vibe containers, recommending the web frontend over terminal-only workflows. - @Pmusaraj [confirmed](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412934/11?silent=true) that random usernames will default off soon thanks to a PR from @Keegan, [walked @stephtara through the email-code signup flow](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/407068/51?silent=true) after her concerns about the new experience, and [announced the Discourse-to-Markdown feature is being merged into core](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/401199/8?silent=true). - @Nat [helped configure](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412755/5?silent=true) Group × Scope access for the built-in MCP server so it can be used with scoped, non-admin users, [followed up on authenticating a dedicated MCP-only user](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412755/12?silent=true), and [promised a FAQ note](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412755/10?silent=true) clarifying the app-permission warning. - @Awesomerobot [asked the quick-search bug reporter](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/412836/2?silent=true) for steps to reproduce on Meta, which led to the “Use Ask AI” default setting being identified as the trigger for the #search bug. - @Arkshine [shipped a fix](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/350962/82?silent=true) for the Quote Callouts theme component after @Luna_Mora reported missing chat styling for callouts. * * * Whether you spent the day arguing that LLMs write better code than humans, quietly renaming FriskyAlligator29, or hunting a black screen that turned out to be a CSS class with a mind of its own — that’s another day well documented on Meta. See you all in the Discourse tomorrow! [Vorige pagina](https://meta.discourse.org/t/daily-summary-9pm-utc/291850.md?page=36)
