Unable to message email address to create staged user anymore

[tobiaseigen]

I’m not sure what is happening here, but as of yesterday I and my colleagues are finding that we are no longer able to message email addresses to create staged users. Type a username in the message addressee box and it autocompletes. Type in an email address and it does not.

This is happening on two forums I run, both with staged users enabled and previously working.

Interesting, what do you think @sam

Probably my regression will fix

should be fixed per:

https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/07b856700ded1bc805196e4c85a7542c61a6b6c2

Also cleaned up our internal API a bit.

Sweet. Confirmed fixed. Thanks for saving my bacon!
