Today, 20 April 2023, the plugins Discourse national flags and reacting with an emoji (retort) are disabled due to an issue caused by either one of them during an update of the Discourse forum software. Retort hasn’t received an update for over two years now and Discourse national flags haven’t received one for over a year ago. At the moment the plugins will remain disabled.
