Hi all, We are using discourse as a replacement to our mailing list system whereby we email to certain email addresses which in turn post to associated categories and then notify the users. http://comms.southsudanngoforum.org/ Unfortunately when you include multiple mailing list recipients in an e…

I hope that google doesnt index it as they are non-public categories. Are use case is that we have different users receiving information in different categories and quite often we want to send both of them the same information.

If all you need to do is disable the dupe check without a concept of shadow topic in two spots it’s a fairly simple chang…

Can you point me in the right direction for where to find this? Thanks all for your replies. Im super impressed with the quality of d…

If each group is to be isolated from the other discussion would not it be better to have separate topics? I don’t know your use case, but if it is something like What do you think of my idea? Lorem ipsum blah blah It seems it would be easy enough to make “personalization” changes something like …
