Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
haqzore Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 Not sure what to call it specifically, but here's an example when I share a link on Discord. The logo that loads is huge. How do I fix this to use something... Rational? Or no logo at all would be preferable to that also...
opentype Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) This should be the “sharer image” that is set up in the ACP (“icons and logos”). Displaying it this large is more a problem of Discord I would say. Making the original image smaller could mean that other services like Facebook will reject it. You could of course use a different aspect ratio for the sharer image. That could help a bit. Edited April 16, 2021 by opentype
haqzore Posted April 16, 2021 Author Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) Thanks - that was my assumption. I noticed the ACP allows multiple images for this piece, so uploaded 3 more smaller sizes (total of 4). Not sure what the priority method is? Here's what invisioncommunity.com looks like as reference: Edited April 16, 2021 by haqzore
CoffeeCake Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 The solution is likely to upload an image that has padding around the logo. The IPS image is very large, yet the majority of it is blue negative space. So think:

So think: perhaps. but ideally, i don't want to take up that much screen real-estate. whether its transparent border or part of the image. its a bit obnoxious when every link in Discord (for example) blanks out the entire screen with a giant logo.
haqzore Posted April 17, 2021 Author Posted April 17, 2021 And compared side-by-side, they are different sizes.
Morrigan Posted April 17, 2021 Posted April 17, 2021 Its the way discord handles share images. If you want something smaller you will affect your other sites (like facebook and whatnot). What I recommend is actually uploading an image in the first post. Or if this is pages, actually using the "Record Image" as it will replace your logo because if you look at the OG image, that is IPS's sharer image: https://dne4i5cb88590.cloudfront.net/invisionpower-com/monthly_2019_09/og.jpg.5e6c57e8dfa140ce4ac18f1e757d3b45.jpg

Is there a way to order/prioritize them?
