Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

I agree.

While I appreciate the experimentation, I hope discourse can get to a point
where I can forget it's even a forum. Whereby everything can just truly
feel like a native mailing list with a great deal less friction, but it's
not there yet.

Here's some of the missing features:

  • a signup process that's more an email subscription (just paste in an
    email address) without having to create any kind of forum account or
    profile.

  • the ability to reply to someone individually to their email address. The
    ability for others to email me directly without discourses PM feature.

  • It needs the ability to subscribe per topic. Things are a bit noisy right
    now (ie I'm not interested in log stash)

  • eliminate "noreply" in the email notifications. I don't feel like I
    should participate via email when I see this. Give it a friendly name.

Right now use via email feels second class. But I think it's the most
important thing. I'm likely to scan my low priority inbox where mailing
list emails are sent. I'm going to struggle to remember to check in on and
participate in a forum to help folks. It's another place to go and all my
other OSS mailing lists come to my email and I can work with them
seemlessly. So I'm likely to forget to check or possibly not want to bother
with elastic which uses a different system.

Yes, I do get the notifications, but it doesn't quite feel the same as a
mailing list for the reasons above. It feels like a notification from
another system.

Anyway long and frank email. Forgive the bluntness. I just wanted to
express hopefully useful feedback. I do appreciate the thoughtfulness
here. I know elastic and discourse folks are very smart. Email truly can
become a first class experience and keep some of the great things about
discourse.

Cheers!

I really do not care for the new mailing list.

First of all, I can no longer see real names and email addresses. All I
see is whatever nonsensical handle someone choose on sign up. Searching for
Adrien no longer returns his latest posts.

Second, since every email comes from noreply@discuss.elastic.co
<javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','noreply@discuss.elastic.co');>, I can no
longer see who replied to a thread. All I see is the handle of the original
poster. I can see the reply counts, but have no idea who the replies are
from.

Add both of these issues together, and the list has now become very
impersonal.

Cheers,

Ivan

Sadly, we cannot twibble bit to allow certain types of links but not
others.

However, we can adjust the forum settings to allow users to include links
in their posts from the start of using the forum. I've done so. Let us know
if you have any further issues.

And, to reiterate what Tyler said earlier, it would be super awesome to
put this feedback in the Meta Elastic category.[0]

Why you may ask?

  1. Employees from Discourse are keeping an eye on our forum to help us
    help you have a good experience. They're not reading this list, though.

  2. Trying for the single source of truth mentioned in my original post.

Thank you to everyone for the great feedback so far!

I think github and pastebins/gists shouldn't be considered against the
limit. We ask people to use gist all the time and github issue or code
links are a good thing to use as well.

Thanks Shaunak,

I appreciate that. I think it would be more than welcome to let others
of the community also take the advantage of including Github issues into
the forum software which contain numerous links:

Link level in a post

Hey Jörg,

I've removed this restriction from your account. You should be able to
post more than 2 links in a post now :slight_smile:

It does not work. I can not post messages with links.

After I try to post a new topic such as

To all of you who want to sneak at the features planned for ES 2.0,
this issue collects some of it

Roadmap for 2.0 · Issue #9970 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub

Best,

I receive a denial

"Sorry, new users can only put 2 links in a post."

Beside the fact I included just one link, why this restriction? A bit
sad that I am considered a new user after five years happily using ES but
the machine is always right in the end :wink:

I suspect its read only while they sort out resourcing issues.
Cache hit rate is likely quite high while readonly.

The site is read-only. No signups possible. Hmm...

Our friends at Discourse have reported that the site outage has been
resolved. They'll keep up with updates via their Twitter account:

https://twitter.com/discourse/status/595268564493279232

In the meantime, please go forth and use the forums. If they fall
over again we will work to ensure speedy resolution.

Thanks for your patience, folks.

Cheers,
