Which picture from the branding options is used for the logos in the community list?

Product Support

AI-generated summary

In a support discussion titled ‘Which picture from the branding options is used for the logos in the community list?’, Canapin reports that some forums lack fully defined branding images, causing placeholders to appear on id.discourse.com’s communities list — even after uploading new images. They suspect caching may be delaying updates and ask whether the site will auto-refresh placeholders and which specific branding image setting controls the community list logo. zogstrip clarifies that the site logo url is currently used for the small logo on the community list page, referencing the relevant code. They acknowledge this behavior should be improved and note that a related pull request has been merged and will be deployed next week to address the issue zogstrip.

Some of those forums didn’t have all the branding picture settings defined, so it’s kinda expected that a placeholder should be shown here.

I added the pictures, but they don’t appear on the id.discourse.com communities list.
I guess the picture is cached, and it might be replaced by the new one later?

So there are two questions:

  • Which picture in the Branding section of the site settings is used for this page?

  • Will placeholders be refreshed at some point? After how long? Not that this is particularly important, especially since it’s not a public page. I’m mostly being curious here.

It’s using the site logo url site setting (and the small version, which is shown in the “login/signup” page)

No. But that’s something we should probably add.
