1. What’s the easiest way to get back up and running? 2. If I’ve had S3 backups, did that cover all the relevant data, including images, metadata, etc? While I did find this article, it hasn’t been updated in 5 years: [image] Upgrade path for very old versions of discourse…

Hi Justin! Great to see you again. As a courtesy since you’ve been using Discourse a looooong time, I’d be happy to pay @pfaffman to help you here. :hugs: Just let him know to contact me for payment.

Hey, @justin_gordon . Is the site up now? If not, can you give me the S3 info? You can get it to me reasonably securely at Discourse Support — Literate Computing, LLC I trust this isn’t an emergency and getting started Monday is ok?

OMG @codinghorror , you made my day! @pfaffman , yes, no urgency. I was upgrading to help a request for “how did you make your header so pretty on talksurf.com ” Once we’re back up with talksurf.com , I’ll be sure to put in a few notes here that will be helpful for others.

Yes, I’d seen that here , but I don’t know where the talksurf image is included in the code. I can see where the background image originates, but not the ‘talksurf’ image on the left, which is floating above the background image. Adding ‘talksurf’ as a image in Settings>Branding>logo results in a m…

@Paul-Reed Maybe see if you can hire @pfaffman to help? I never set this up, so I have no idea.

You can make the header taller with a bit of CSS. I can help you with that but I’d suggest you to create a new support topic since it’s a bit off-topic here.
