@merefield a bit of non related topic, but how did you include the salon.com link above the category. This is so great to create proper links between different discourse communities I believe.

@david - Onebox images aren’t coming through for me as thumbnails. This is the case when trialing both in the thumbnails TC and TLPs TC.

Has this stopped working? It would be immensely helpful for us.

Make sure you have “download remote images” enabled.

If it still doesn’t work, can you share some oneboxes which aren’t working?
