David and Falco investigated upload failures on older iOS devices. Falco’s fix was included in v2026.7.0, but some users report it didn’t resolve the issue – possibly linked to tight upload image size limits. read more

Permanently Delete does not show (even after 5 minutes)
Tkforbes discovered that the “Permanently Delete” option is missing from the topic‑level wrench menu, and the bulk‑delete modal misleadingly claims deletion is permanent when it is not for moderators. Lilly guided troubleshooting. read more

#Self‑hosting

Updated to esr, but “578 new changes are available”
Ed_S noted a confusing dashboard message after upgrading to the new ESR. David fixed a server‑side version‑check bug; the false alert will clear after a forced version check. read more

#Community Building

  • Forums that forbid AI content… How’s it going?
    Nickdb shared how their forum uses a custom AI agent to flag AI-generated posts from new members, with a detailed prompt example that checks for “overly polished” language. Merefield agreed, noting that AI-style posts feel like “walking through treacle”, while Takiro explained their art community’s strict AI ban and how they moderate reports without witch hunts. The conversation also touched on the overuse of em dashes as a “telltale” sign — with HAWK joking that he refuses to lower his own standards just to appear human. Read more

  • Anyone else seeing a drastic drop in community activity for Support forums?
    A lively discussion evolved into a philosophical debate about AI’s role in communities.

#Feature

  • Allow use of input for value of manually mapped Call workflow Boolean type fields

  • Maintenance page workaround - can this be done?

    A Spanish-language question about showing upcoming events in all categories.

#Announcements

  • Introducing the unified new view for the topic list
    Martin fixed an issue where suggested topics lost priority in unread results, and Seanblue reported persistent unread count sync problems.

And so, as the sun sets on another day of dialogue, remember: if you ever find yourself reaching for an em dash, be aware that somewhere out there, a bot is judging you — but that’s only because it wishes it could convey such dramatic pauses itself. :wink:
