OK, will look into that. But it seems there's also a webhook for the forum - we can send topics/replies to a channel on the Discord, for example.

Hmmm could be considered, but while I'd be in favor of integration, I think this would be redundant and confusing (like, if 2 people hold a conversation on 2 platforms).
The idea I (or better, Mobius) had was to have invites in the board description that directly lead to the respective Discord channel (I prepared a test set and pinned them in the #admin channel)

Well we have the option as it's built-in with the available extension. And it could be forum specific, so only topics from one area (like a news area) can be sent.
Not sure if I like the pre-made widget as the header color stands out like a sore thumb, but it's a start.

Just noticed, certainly a good start. But yeah I wouldn't know if it can be edited....

Ditched the pre-made one and went with a lightweight custom widget - seems to throw an error with user count at the moment, but otherwise tidier and less bloated.

Sounds like a plan - are we OK with the Discord being public? And what should the widget be a feed of?
Since SG Discord server can be joine freely it's OK to me to display what's going on there. I think general FreeSpace channel info is the best one to display.
Alternatively, we can show messages from all public channels mixed in a single widget if that's an option.

Dont think the widget has an option for any of that.
