Introducing Tip of the Week

Annie Moncure

Hi Everyone!

I hope you all are having a good week. When we onboarded to our new community platform, @Jeff Breunsbach and I got some feedback that there was a lot of new functionality that members weren’t familiar with. To try and help with that, I will be posting weekly tips and tricks to get everyone a little more acquainted with the system. If you have any questions on them, please post them below and I will answer them! You will be able to find the tips as they come out under the #tipoftheweek tag.

Today I want to focus on different ways to participate in a post, without posting.

1. Recommend a post
Did someone post a thread that you agree with? Or maybe you just want to show your appreciation for that member’s post – go ahead and click the “recommend” button! This is a great way to show someone that you appreciate their post, even if you don’t have anything specific to contribute. Think of it as a “like” on other forms of social media. If a member’s thread gets a lot of recommends, they may get rewards in the community, so recommend the threads you find value in!

2. Follow a post
Did someone ask a question that you are curious about, and want to see responses to? Follow the post. Following will send you automatic notifications when someone replies to the post so that you don’t miss any of the discussion. When you have gotten what you need out of the post, you can always go in and unfollow the post

Thanks for the tip Annie! I never even noticed those features but will definitely use them now - especially the "follow" feature!
Looking forward to future tips!
THANKS!
