Hi all, I’ve just setup brand new Discourse. Welcome message sent to new user is not showing images (broken image?). What is it happening so? (It seems I can’t upload image as I’m new user here) Thanks.

Yes, this is because the image names changed in English and the translated versions either need to have their own images (localized with the right character set), or change to use the English image names.

I’m seeing same thing on try.discourse.org as well, except the image that’s showing Life Instructions. I don’t think something wrong with my browsers… I’m using Mac OS X Yoshemite. Chrome and Firefox.

Oh right try has a bad old copy pasted version of that. Sorry, bad example, that is an override specific to try.

There is no bug since your account is new here and your new user welcome PM looks 100% correct https://meta.discourse.org/t/welcome-to-discourse-meta/29913 This link will only work for staff and the OP as it is a link to a PM.. Maybe update your Discourse to latest code?

My dashboard says 1.4.0.beta2 and it’s the latest…

I was following this guide for installation discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub And it installed the beta version. Maybe because of that I’m having broken images. I wonder why it didn’t install the stable version :smile:

This is the beta version running here. You signed up on the beta version. This is your new user welcome PM from the beta version. https://meta.discourse.org/t/welcome-to-discourse-meta/29913 Can you repro it being broken there? Does it look broken to you?

Hi @codinghorror ! Yes, the welcome message for a new user looks broken to me. Steps to reproduce: Install Discourse as shown in discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub Register a new use Result: When user finishes registration it receives a welcome message with broken images (or links?). I’m under impression, the links for images look broken, because there’s no any message on the server. Why here discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub it was not mentioned that it will install a beta version? What should I do to install the stable one? Thanks.

I can’t reproduce this. Here’s a screenshot of a user’s PM welcome that signed up here. His name is @tenzan [image] Per view source, the current version is Here’s me signing up on another Digital Ocean install I just did for a customer, 1.4 beta 2 as well: [image] As you can see images are all there.

@codinghorror Can you please PM to me your email address to where I can send you a registration invitation from my Discourse install? So, you’ll be able to see how it looks. Thanks,

Viewing older welcome PMs this might be the case, but for a truly new user it will be correct.

Can you repro on try.discourse.org? Create an account there and see.
