[read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/402081/1?silent=true) (see also: the original experiment [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/254353/1?silent=true) and the deprecation thread being referenced [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/370019/2?silent=true)) - The **Load More Button** component continued to surface an underlying core limitation/bug (with `DiscoveryTopics` not passing `canLoadMore`), and discussion shifted toward practical workarounds (CSS hiding) versus “this needs core support.” [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/402049/9?silent=true) ### #Site feedback - A visual glitch report: @ondrej spotted a **weird/garbled Meta logo** that normalizes when zooming in, but breaks again at default zoom—likely pointing to a rendering/scaling issue across browsers. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/402100/1?silent=true) ### #development - @jericson posted a reflective **case study on learning Discourse plugin development “as an amateur”** , connecting the dots between a real client need (a contact form for anonymous visitors), the official plugin tutorial path, and the end result. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/402084/1?silent=true) (background links referenced in-thread include: the “not possible?” discussion [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/233273/1?silent=true), the plugin dev tutorial [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/31001/1?silent=true), and the resulting contact form plugin topic [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/305462/1?silent=true)) ### #Self-hosting - A Russian-language support thread escalated from “ **file too large** (even 2MB videos)” into rebuild troubleshooting: guidance centered on aligning container/nginx limits (`app.yml`) with site settings, and the need for SSH access to rebuild reliably. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/402101/1?silent=true) (the key doc being pointed to: [Change the maximum attachment upload size](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/26435/1?silent=true)) ### #Support - A solved how-to: **forcing exact characters on a single line** (with a live counter and customizable styling) wrapped up cleanly once the right approach landed. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/402056/10?silent=true) - The ongoing **age requirement / youth accountability** discussion kept branching into what platforms _can_ enforce versus what’s realistic (and where responsibility should sit). [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/401602/38?silent=true) ### #General - The “ **infinite scroll** ” debate got a terminology reset: participants emphasized that Discourse’s scroll is _pagination replacement_ (finite content), not “infinite content feeds” like social media—plus some legal framing discussion on what counts as a “significant part of the services.” [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/401984/30?silent=true) - In #show-and-tell, @kirupa shared an update on **populating a mostly-dead forum with bots** , including publishing the full source code so others can adapt the approach. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/401493/18?silent=true) ### #Announcements - The **Foundation theme modernization** thread saw another small but telling UI detail: a gap/spacing issue under the “Related” button (especially with larger fonts). @Lilly suggested a targeted padding/line-height patch and flagged it as a UX clash with an injected AI-related button. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/395331/82?silent=true) ### #bug - The **new AI docked composer** looks improved overall, but @Lilly reported a sharp regression: file uploads appear to break after the first post, keeping the bug thread active. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/401961/7?silent=true) ### #customization:plugin - In the official #openid-connect thread, a practical ops question came up: **will users be automatically removed from groups** when they’re no longer members in the identity provider? [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/103632/321?silent=true) - The official **Discourse Calendar (and Event)** plugin thread continued with feature-scope discussion: interest in a more complete, configurable event management system—and some candid notes on which AIs are being used for coding assistance. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/97376/577?silent=true) - The **Telegram Notifications** plugin thread saw UI/option confusion (screenshots + “no such option”), suggesting either documentation drift or a UI/settings mismatch between versions. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/60483/207?silent=true) ### #customization:extras - **SuperHref** shipped an update: suggested products can now keep the original affiliate tag _or_ swap in a custom one—useful for operators trying to preserve monetization while improving link hygiene. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/401889/18?silent=true) * * * ## Activity by the [@team](https://meta.discourse.org/groups/team?silent=true) Group - @Lilly collaborated with @darkpixlz on next steps for the **Modern User Card** theme component, including diagnosing the `component-template-resolving` warning and setting expectations about refactoring needs. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/402081/2?silent=true) and [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/402081/9?silent=true) - @Lilly noted a potential workaround/fork for an edge case in **Load More Button** , while agreeing the approach is “hacky” and limited by core behavior. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/402049/10?silent=true) - @Lilly provided a concrete CSS patch suggestion for a spacing/UX issue in **Modernizing the Foundation theme** , tying it to a mismatch between button classes and an injected AI-related UI element. [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/395331/82?silent=true) - @Lilly added a key regression report to **New ai docked composer** : uploads appear broken after the first post, even if the composer is otherwise “much less buggy.” [read more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/401961/7?silent=true) * * * If yesterday proved anything, it’s that Discourse scroll isn’t truly infinite—but the community’s capacity to debug UI quirks and resurrect forums with bots might be. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/daily-summary-9pm-utc/291850)._
