I’ve changed default functionality. The first post will no longer automatically be a wiki, but existing first posts will.
Moving forward second post will automatically be a wiki in all categories.
ETA: I can also go ahead an hijack the second post in already-created threads for uniformity purposes. It’s not the cleanest solution, but I can simply combine the second and third post so that the content lives on.
something weird going on this morning. I thought I was banned since I can’t find the reply button until I closed the tab, reopened it, then had to log in.
There was also a message on top that says:
Congratulations, you installed Discourse! Unfortunately, no administrator emails were defined during setup, so finalizing the configuration may be difficult.
The plugin update may have broken something 
We’ll keep chugging along over the next couple days.
I often use dans deals forum.
if i’m posting less, it’s because Discourse deprecated my browsers on my older mobile / tablet. I suppose I’ll get new hardware at some point, but it’s annoying they won’t let you do anything on the older ones when clearly they worked fine for years. “progress”
I put LineageOS on my old hardware. Extends usefulness by another decade.
From the number of recommendations of your post, you can tell that you’re a valued member here. Yes it’s a PITA to replace a tablet but newer ones are a lot faster and fun to use. I recently bought a new iPad and find that I seldom use the older one.
It shouldn’t be. Both Android and iOS can synchronize / backup everything with your account, so updating phones and tablets is very easy compared to updating computers that do not use such synchronization, such as Windows that uses a LOCAL account. (And the day I can’t log in to Windows using a local account will be the day I stop using Windows).
You are a valued member here. I hope you can find a way to continue posting.
Thanks. Got my new hardware working.
Yikes! I expected your tinfoil hat to be of better quality. I use the the thicker (less transparent) version. 
That was just generic advice for generic people who don’t wear a tinfoil hat, but you’re not wrong, I have given up my phone book and photos to the Google due to having an android phone. I don’t have crapware and I use noroot firewall to block most apps from phoning home if they’re not supposed to. I’m also never logged in when accessing services like search or youtube, I don’t use gmail or chrome, and my firefox has ublock. So the hat is pretty thick compared to most users.
