New smilies have been added before, so that’s not much trouble. The admins only need the svg-files.

No problem, they are available. But I would still look into whether they are already available with Discourse.

Ohoh, I wasn’t aware that changing titles puts threads on top again. Now quite a few topics which I have changed the language indicators to flags were swept up to the top again. Sorry for that.
Edit: Funny, but not all of them show up at the top … only three.

It only happens to topics with no replys as you are editing the “latest reply”.

Today I had added a language flag to a post title and simultaneously translated the title to English. However someone reversed the translation. Just to make sure we have a common ground and I don’t annoy other people with future edits: Did we not stick to keeping all titles in English like @Stefan had proposed?

I think the title should stay in English, just like a news feed.

@jftr: You need to read this in context:
I said this to let the non-German-speaking community know about the Austrian events. This is not the case with this topic:
(We edit the Austrian Fairphoners topic’s title whenever there is something new to tell.

@Stefan Can :nl: be added to the list, as well as the emojis set? People already used the tag, but it isn’t recognised. It also is one of the four ‘official’ Fairphone languages.
EDIT: sorry, didn’t scroll down to te last post, see that it’s been requested already. Hope it can be taken care of 
I only just noticed we have quite a couple of flags added to the icons now.

Why have the added flags another shape than the existing flags?
Because the existing flags are outdated. I believe the next discourse update will make all flags round and include the flags @Douwe added manually.

I think the flags refer to the language spoken… not the country where the person is from… right? So 
and 
should got you covered…? Or do we need an extra :ch: because of swiss-german?

Agreed And though my first name might suggest it, I am not Swiss at all myself, but I would assume that when it comes to written language, there’s no need to mark threads as “Swiss-German”. But then again, we would not need the one either then 
While we don’t need them as language flags I think country flags would add a nice touch to local community topics.
True, but was already part of the system. The others I need to add by hand.
In the next major update of discourse forum software many more flags will be added to the default set.
Oh no! the flags all have new codes now. We’ll have to rename all non-english topics!
:flag_xx:
…but unfortunately no extended flag set yet!
(and as a result the :nl: and :se: flags that were custom set still remain valid with the old code)

Well I think I renamed all of them…

I have to say that while originally I found the round symbols cuter, I now find them much tougher to “read” and generally a significant deterioration in visual clarity.

Now the flag codes are fully chaotic. We have to use :flag_de: for 
, but :se: for :se:. How should one remember that?
