If you mean my forum logo importing over okay, not really. I looked through the source and did reupload to generate the new file. But some mail I send out for testing still wouldn't show the logo. So I removed the <!-- IF logo.src --> and hardcoded my forum logo in the template and added the title. Not sure what went wrong, but I didn't feel like debugging it. The conversion itself worked though and it made the new site-logo-x50.png.

Just wanted to drop in and say thanks, loving the new default emails in 1.6. One little complaint the Hero Image is wayyy too big at least on 1080p. I changed its height to 100px from 300px and it looks a lot better and doesn't take up 1/3 of your screen.

Tweaked a few other things for myself, but the overall redesign is a very welcome change! Keep it up. Result:

nice, I still would like to see the option to no longer rely on cdn's for css (bootswatch), fonts (google) etc.

Good luck, I can totally agree with some of your reasons. If had a commercial forum with a bigger userbase, I wouldn't pick NodeBB in its current state. Don't get me wrong I enjoy using it for a hobby project, but tinkering to get basic stuff working isn't for everyone.

as a temporary solution, you could just use email
