March 2Mar 2 Administrators This looks nice! How do you find Discourse compared to XF? Good luck with it!
March 2Mar 2 Author 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!
March 3Mar 3 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.

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.
March 3Mar 3 Administrators 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. [ATTACH type=full" size="374x248]1311[/ATTACH]

[ATTACH type=full" alt="1741031600900.png]1311[/ATTACH] Hey [mention=1]Cedric[/mention] 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.
March 3Mar 3 Author [mention=571]Timelord_[/mention] , 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. [ATTACH type=full" size="1160x465]1312[/ATTACH]
March 3Mar 3 I don't think you can use a 500x500 image. Maybe 512x138 pixels or something like that. I am not a image guy.
March 3Mar 3 Content Team I noticed that the "About the Game Talk Announcements category" has the default new category text rather than unique text. Also interesting that you went with Discourse for your community! https://gametalk.tv/t/about-the-game-talk-announcements-category/2566 Love roleplaying games? So do we on RPG Haven!
March 4Mar 4 Here's how the logo would appear if it were 500x500: [ATTACH alt=Game-Talk-Forums-Game-Talk-Forums-03-03-2025_07_19_PM.png]1313[/ATTACH] Discourse I think is rendering at 43x43. I only used Discourse once before. And it was a while ago. So I don't remember all the settings.
March 4Mar 4 Administrators Discourse I think is rendering at 43x43. I only used Discourse once before. And it was a while ago. So I don't remember all the settings. It’s possible to edit the size of the logo by directly adjusting the logo size by adding CSS to the site’s theme. Just Select the theme you are using and click on Edit CSS/HTML. In the Common > CSS section, add something like this: .d-header .title img { max-height: 80px; /* or whatever size you want */ width: auto; } If the logo shrinks too much on mobile, then you can add this: @media (max-width: 768px) { .d-header .title img { max-height: 60px; } } however, the width and height may need to be adjusted.

Thanks for the info. [mention=571]Timelord_[/mention] maybe that will help you out.
March 4Mar 4 I think the direct height needs to be adjusted since it is currently relative to the font size of the parent element using the em unit. You can shrink it down to a maximum of 64px with the image in the current state. #site-logo { height: 64px !important; } Using an image editor to crop out some of the extra space would probably be best. For example: [ATTACH]1314[/ATTACH] Now, you don't have to modify the CSS whatsoever with the turnout: [ATTACH]1315[/ATTACH]

Thank you for this! I will test it in my sandbox and get back you with the results.
March 4Mar 4 Author The interface is quite neat and responsive. Thank you for the kind words! What would be nicer than words would be if you signed up and said hello ;)
March 4Mar 4 Do you have a recommended image editor that can help with this? By the way - thank you for this! I usually use the online editor, Pixlr: https://pixlr.com/
