Dev

  • Right Sidebar Blocks

    After updating to commit fd584ed, softploy’s discourse-right-sidebar-blocks theme component failed due to a missing ember-curry-component; NateDhaliwal noted the import likely needs adjustment.

Bug

  • Moderators can’t hide flagged posts

    Teafh reported that re-flagging an edited, already-reviewed post triggers “already reviewed” errors and prevents hiding—it should allow multiple flags until moderator action.
