It seems the avatars are back.
There was an upgrade yesterday. Probably got some bugfixes in there.
Is there any rate limiting on the server? Are there any rules you would prefer respected?
Reading that thread reminded me about Jefft Atwood, the guy who leads Discourse and also made Stack Overflow. I listened to him on the Stack Overflow podcast long long long ago in the Beacon days, and he seemed normal. But whenever he posts in the Discourse forum he is the ultimate open source tech jerk telling people to RTFM, âitâs supposed to work like that,â and the perennial âsend in a patch if you want it changed.â He tried to make Stack Overflow to protect the world from people like himself.
Is there a way to see muted topics? Iâd like to mute some threads but I donât know I will never have something to say on the topics, so Iâd like to be able to pull them up somewhere else.
Yeah he was a real ass in that thread. If the preview doesnât match whatâs actually displayed itâs a bug, and you will literally never convince me otherwise.
Muting a topic means you wonât be notified about it, and it wonât appear in the list of latest updates. You can still direct link to the thread to read it.
But it wonât appear anywhere in the UI?
You can search for it or go look for it in its specific category. It wonât appear in your feed of âlatestâ threads.

If youâre wondering why the forum looks different:
I would often go down the line looking for the most recent relevant board game thread for some post.
Why not just go directly to the board game category page?
I didnât know it existed.
Apparently some people have bumped into this lately:
âNumber of posts a user has to make in a row in a topic before being prevented from adding another reply.â
The default value was 3. I changed it to 5.
When you hotlink an image and the forum bot copies auto-rewrites the link to the S3 bucket, is the original link saved anywhere?
Itâs nice to avoid link rot, but sometimes I wish I could see where the original came from.
I donât know.
If the original is from a site like Twitter or Instagram, the box around the image will have the correct links and such.
I donât know if this is something you all can control or even know why itâs happening but when I have the forum open in Firefox on my phone it really heats up. Is the forum software really intensive to run on the user end?
I think thatâs just you.
