Hello. I'm Ant Pruitt

I’m glad I’m not the only one. I was wondering if it was something I did… like follow him and not anyone else, or something.

I thought it might be an indicator of a different user group/role, like administrator, but it doesn’t indicate that. Might be a hidden group.

THANKS. Wasn’t SXSW, but I remember you, bro! I can’t remember what it was. Maybe CES or BABBQ.

I’ve been wondering, too! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I think it might be something @Leo did (by accident)? It kinda looks like it is possible to assign colours to topics and sub-topics and I think the hosts names are done like a topic.

I remember now, CES, they all blend together.

Congrats on the new gig, @ant_pruitt! I have always enjoyed when you were a guest on the network and the grounded approach you take to tech coverage. :wave:

@ant_pruitt @Leo Has there been an explanation given for this yet?

In Discourse each category gets a colour. Maybe whoever set up Ant’s category clicked on the wrong colour.

We’ve not found anything. But so far nothing has stopped me from successfully chatting here. (shrugs)

I set it up. Don’t remember a color option, though.

Welcome Ant! Nice to have a southern voice of reason. Don’t let the left coast change you buddy.

Yes! That’s exactly what happened. It’s fixed now. Thanks for the clue @Steve.

OK, that’s great @Leo. I actually just fired up Discourse locally using docker-compose to investigate further. Still an interesting exercise to do.

Discourse has a seeming infinitude of settings. It’s quite daunting. Fortunately the defaults are very good.
