This looks nice! How do you find Discourse compared to XF?

Good luck with it!

TBH, the only reason I chose Discourse was it looked different than most gaming forums out there. Also, the zero dollar cost is pretty inviting!

The only issue I found with Discourse, and gametalk.tv is the first forum I have been on which uses it, is that the links don't open in a new tab. That's not a great feature as it sends users off your board and you can't be 100% certain that they will ever return.

Thanks for the feedback.

This should be fixed now! All links should open in a new tab.

I see you've uploaded a 500x500 logo, but it's rendered to 43x43. Is there no possibility to enlarge it? The logo is quite hard to read currently.

Hey @Cedric It's on my list to fix. That was a quick and dirty logo I created on Canva, which limits what you can export when you are on the free tier.

I am currently looking to hire a logo designer, so if you know anyone looking for a gig - send them my way.

@Timelord_ , is Discourse auto resizing it?

Yeah - the loo wants to be in a specific size. Here is what it looks like in the admin panel.

I don't think you can use a 500x500 image. Maybe 512x138 pixels or something like that. I am not a image guy.
