Hi everybody
Is there any how-to guide we can pass to our users so to understand the functionality of the discourse forum?
I have hosted it at DO and need to educate people.
Thank you!
AI-generated summary
The discussion revolves around creating a user guide for a Discourse forum hosted on DO. ideatank asks for a how-to guide to educate users, and Noah751 points to the moderation guide and suggests using the howto category for basic information. dax notes that Discobot provides interactive guides for new users, and ideatank confirms if copying content from meta is allowed, which Noah751 clarifies can be done via links. schungx adds that Discourse is intuitive enough that users may not need a tutorial.
I believe there is a moderation guide on how moderating works, I don’t know about a guide for users.
Moderation guide:
But otherwise you can use the howto category to learn basic information of discourse and share it with your users.
The basic informations are covered by discobot when users create a new account (interactive narratives for new users and advanced users). See Who is Discobot?
That’s helpful, thank you.
I assume I can copy information from here and add it to my forum; that’s allowed. Correct?
I am asking because that is not allowed in some forums.
(btw, just landed here)
You can create links from your forum that land to meta’s howto category, like oneboxing.
I suppose the ultimate test of any software is that users don’t need to read a tutorial…
Discourse actually is quite far ahead on this front.
