Just now I tried to link a new member to a Discord channel, but I ran into a problem with the link. Scrolling over the Discord button in the "Connect with GC" box, I see a message that says "Become a member today for link!" despite my already being logged in and when I do click on it, it simply opens a new tab and takes me to the exact same page I was on, basically duplicating the tab. Not sure exactly how this is supposed to work since I got to Discord originally another way, but I'm pretty sure this isn't what is supposed to happen XD

I tried this in both Chrome and Firefox, but got the same results--is this happening to anyone else?

I think this might be due to the admin team wanting to prevent new registrations of members on Discord only, instead of them registering in the actual forums.

You have to be a member of GC before being able to chat on Discord. That's the most plausible explanation of the issue.

Yes, I assumed that this had something to do with the admin requiring members to register with the forums before joining Discord.

Oh, though perhaps the button simply serves as a reminder that the Discord channel exists, but one must find the link elsewhere? Didn't think of that earlier.

Edit: Also noticed that non-members have access to this thread, which includes the link to the Discord channel (but oddly, this states that the link is invalid or expired upon clicking).

Yup! You have to be a member of GC to get the link, which is located in the lounge. We disabled the invite link in the thread you're referencing, but I'll change it so it redirects to the lounge. I'll ask Queenie if we can have the Discord icon also redirect to the lounge thread but she's rather busy this week so it might take a bit to update it.

Okay cool, I was just wondering! Thanks Jupi~
