We leverage Discourse for doing support of our open source genealogy software. A large percentage of those users are older and not technically adept as the newer generations who were indoctrinated with microcomputers during primary schooling. Discourse offers a “Welcome back!” banner to users who haven’t logged in for a while. But the rest of the screen is just as cluttered as what a regular (experienced) visitor has grown accustomed to navigating. So users (who are coming in already being frustrated by not having been able to figure something out in a software package) are thrust into another complex and unfamiliar interface. Perhaps there is a way to offer a less noisy custom screen to dormant accounts, like the new user is shown a streamlined “welcome screen” or “onboarding experience”? [image]

Perhaps a theme? As suggested for new users in : [Bild] Hiding GUI elements for new users (less overwhelming) Feature Topic’s title are so much fundamental that I’m not sure hiding them everywhere would be a good idea. thinking In term of simplicity, is that a good example of what you envision?
