Our instance is "still around" in readonly mode-- umm-- somewhere, because @blakeyrat hosted it.
It was under the old
forums
URL, but that now redirects hereMaybe we can have it under forms.thedailywtf.com
Part of me feels like it should be remember.thedailywtf.com

They want a plugin to detect if you're not being civilized enough?!?!
Oh god. Given how shitty their dev skills are, this is going to be AMAZING.
No one will even have to game it to associate "toxic" words with perfectly normal words. It'll do it on it's own, prevent anyone from posting, ban everyone, then delete the forum.
They'll just buy an API key for Perspective. Then charge each individual user to have access to "post screening".

Discourse: so easy to migrate, you can follow the Discourse provided migration instructions and wind up not actually migrating your forum, until a month later when Disco-hosting purges your forum and you find out that not only did you not change the DNS to the new location, you didn't move the posts either!
(To be fair to and co... this looks a lot like a problem with the Chair-Keyboard interface. But not as many upvotes in that theory :P )

For a real disco-bug report:
Hm, I noticed that if you're setting topic watching state on mobile, the tracking state says "You will receive notifications because you are tracking this topic"
(Tracking means "a count of new replies shown for this topic, notifications for @mentions and replies")
You will receive a form of notification, that is, the topic will appear in your unread tab.

Sure but business hours aren't for a while. It's Sunday.
HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAH
fucker can work weekends like the rest of us chumps.
-
@Yamikuronue But no way in hell he's payin' overtime to his minions.

@Yamikuronue
Tho, toby faire to the team, their Infrastructureinternsupport guy did get on and e-mail the poor his last backup at 9pm (EDT) Sunday. So unless said Infrastructure guy is also an Aussie, he worked on the weekend to help out an ex-customer. Which, in my opinion, is pretty damn impressive.
-
@izzion yeah, but if His High Asshattedness had his way, they'd have waited until Monday morning and then informed the customer that their data had been deleted already, and since they were no longer hosted they were No Longer Welcome Here
-

Maybe he should support his own blog. Or maybe it's just practice for Discourse.

He is.

@loopback0
well, still, first thing Monday morning isn't a bad response time for getting a backup copy to an ex-customer. Heck, still having the backup copy is above average for most companies these days :P

Also considering it was Easter, which is still celebrated by a lot of people.

But...the backup was declared transferred. It hasn't been restored yet and the linked instance still looks like this:
I will reserve judgment until the backup is successfully restored.
-
I have to say, the Discourse team handled that situation pretty damn well. It's a former customer who terminated their contract a month ago - I am surprised they even kept the instance alive that long, could still retrieve it from their backups, and shared it with their former customer free of charge as far as I can tell (at least, I didn't see any fees mentioned publicly).
Quite a lot of SaaS companies would handle this particular request completely differently.

Looks like it's back. Though an account is required to see any actual content.

Or the instance was paid for in advance and they don't do pro-rata compensation when an account is closed, which is understandable given the administrative effort.

@Tsaukpaetra
Here's the link:You surprised both me as well as a random user when the system sent a "best user of the month!" badge and
PM. When updating, could such new badges be disabled until an admin agrees to them, and could admins see what else was added in the update?
You can click the version in the admin panel to see git commit ids.
Ehr, ok... Could we then maybe agree to keep new badges disabled until an admin approves them?
Not on our roadmap!
-
It's a big change to make new badges not activated by default?
Not in a sane system, no
-
You can click the version to see git commit ids.
If you're relying on these for changelogs, then you're an idiot. But we knew that already.
-
I can probably count on one hand or even with just a few fingers the number of times I had an unpleasant surprise after an update.

Likely he hasn't done too much updates, otherwise he wouldn't have any fingers left.

This is why you always test with all of @PJH's balls, not just your main admin account...

Tldr: we want to use discourse like a mailing list! :@end: not supported it's too hard!
-
@Tsaukpaetra Actually, I'm with Atwood on this one. Discourse is forum software, not a mailing list manager.

@Tsaukpaetra Fuck email. Fucking terrible protocol on every level.

The Tutorial bot has now been promoted to core, you don't need to manage it as a plugin any more!
So, of course, the Discourse installer will crash whenever any of our helpful beta testers for this feature go to install the next update.
Or, for that matter, for anyone who performed a clean installation of Discourse in the five day window between when this feature was part of core and when we actually finished fixing all the shit we broke when we promoted it.

Looks like someone on the team is researching Redux...
Here's the pertinent bit:
.catch(function (error) { //somehow it always returns an error //currently 500=succes (will fix that later in api to 200) if(error.response.status == 500){ console.log('succes') console.log(error.response.data); } // snip... }
-
@DoctorJones And there I thought the main issue was returning a success code before the promise even executes :P

I chose the lines I thought would facilitate maximum funnies in the given context (the joke).

That was weird, I loaded the page on my phone, started reading, then the next posts streamed in and suddenly Desktop Mode!

One would think you where new to Discourse
-
That being said, digest subscriptions have always made up a perplexingly large proportion of subscribers on any non-trivial mailing list I've had admin on, so if Discourse wants to have a really solid "mailman replacement" story, they are, sadly, something that's going to have to be implemented.
