Board background library

Welcome to the Board Backgrounds Library! A place for you to find some awesome looking boards to enhance your OGS experience still further! This forum is intended solely for use as a library/repository for images to be used as boards. Any queries, requests, discussion or general chit-chat about boards should be conducted in the New boards forum. Any off-topic posts may be deleted.

General guidelines:

  • Please be selective about what you upload and only post boards you think people might actually want to play on.
  • You may post an image of the board with stones on for illustrative purposes, but please be sure to also post a ‘naked’ board too, so that others may use it.
  • The images of your boards may be fairly large, but please display them in your posts as thumbnails.
Here's how.

Mouse-over your image in the preview window and select 50%

(Users can always click the thumbnail to see the full sized version)

  • Beneath the image should be a link displayed in a code field to make it easy for the user to paste into the custom board dialogue.
Here's how.

After uploading your image, right click on it in the preview pane and select “Copy image location”. Paste this link into your post, select it and click the </> button.

Thanks for keeping this library clean and happy boarding!
