Did you add additional NS records for the `forum.omaggieconcorsi.online` subdomain, or is this a quirk of the DigitalOcean DNS interface?

To be clear, you only need NS records for your root domain (`omaggieconcorsi.online`) unless you plan to delegate DNS to different name servers for specific subdomains.

If you added them yourself I would remove them again, it will work without.

Also please note that while you have redirected three domains to your droplet, Discourse can only operate under a single DNS address. The others will redirect as long as the protocol isn’t specified.
