The discussion started with a missing image issue in the “Welcome to our community!” page, where the default image /images/welcome/discourse-edit-post-animated.gif could not be found. frold and JammyDodger confirmed the issue on their test sites.
tobiaseigen suggested checking the latest version, as the copy had changed recently. frold confirmed they were on version 3.1.0.beta4.
JammmyDodger solved the issue by using the ‘Replace Text’ option in /admin/customize/site_texts to pull in the latest Welcome message copy.
frold shared a Danish translation of the Welcome message. tobiaseigen thanked for the translation and recommended personalizing the topic to suit the specific community.
A fix was later added to account for existing forums that still referenced the image, as mentioned by JammyDodger with a link to the GitHub pull request.
I have created a vanilla forum. In the “Welcome to our community!” community there is a link back to this image
"/images/welcome/discourse-edit-post-animated.gif
And its is not on that location…

Thanks for the translation! A better way to contribute translations is:
Just to loop back on this - even though the image isn’t used in the latest versions a small fix was added to account for any existing forums that still referenced it.
