This happens to me too but it makes me happy to imagine a human has to physically do something so everyone can see my dumbass memes or whatever

I CAN’T SEE THE AXE

Invisible axes: unwieldy to use, deadly if used correctly.

Just a tip I had previously asked for but I recently learnt was a feature all along:

By adding “/print” to the end of the URL of forum thread (have to delete the post number from the URL though) you get a page which displays every post in the thread (just without any forum avatars sadly) at once which you can then save locally for archiving or whatever.

The old forums are down again, is this intentional?

it’s a consequence of the server upgrade to php7. maybe someone’s working on it

You rock, Felix!

Is there a setting in Discourse that lets users see and edit/restore their own deleted posts?

functionally no. the default delete behaviour is actually “hide it, but don’t delete it, and after 24 hours actually delete it,” which I’ve toggled off because it a) doesn’t let people delete posts immediately when they might want to, b) creates a weird broken edit history for the post, and c) only allows people to restore their own deleted posts for 24 hours, which is stupid. they apparently haven’t wanted to do the work of allowing people to view and restore their own deleted posts once they get the “actually deleted and only visible to admins” status, and until they do, I think this is better than the default.

Ohh, this is why when I delete a post then immediately try to restore it it doesn’t work.

I fixed this too

Is there any way to disable the three post limit in threads, i.e., a single user being prevented from posting more than three times in a row in a thread? I’m trying to post more cool Lego builds to the Lego thread and I’ve been stymied!
