The geoserver / user thing is working well thank you. We have had some
trouble reported with the use as a mailing list due to links included in
email signature.

Can this configuration option be changed?

trouble reported with the use as a mailing list due to links included in

I already volunteer with SAC for Nexus, can I ask for some kind of
increased Discourse permissions to help manage geoserver, geonetwork,
marketing categories?

Thanks, it presents me with a paradox in that I cannot use this as a
mailing-list, and also login to moderate or edit the pinned instructions.

@jive. Have to raise as a motion with rest of SAC.
Regarding the missed email about topics that are sent while using the
website, that is a setting you can turn off. That is what it is by
default for new users. I was thinking of changing that as I find that
annoying too and unintuitive for most of our users who are used to mailing
lists. If you go into your preferences -
https://discourse.osgeo.org/u/yourusername/preferences/emails
**Email me when I am quoted, replied to, my @username is mentioned, or
when there is new activity in my watched categories, tags or topics**
that item by default is set to "only when away". You can change that to
"always".

Thanks for moderator status, I used this to "release" a post that was
being held for review.
I would still like to request admin status:
- I cannot update the icons or details for categories
- I cannot help out with issues like
#3220 (OSGeo Europe Category on Discourse) – OSGeo (where a new community needs a
communication platform and is waiting).

@jive,
Okay you have admin rights now. Just make sure not to fiddle with the
admin settings without gaining approval from SAC and putting in a ticket
as to reason why if you need to.
