It might have taken a little longer than we were anticipating, but we made it! Welcome to our new wikiHow Forums!

Some quick links for you:

  1. You might find this quick overview handy. It’s a Google Doc, so just email me if you have any issues accessing it in your area, and I can send you a pdf version:slight_smile:

  2. If you have any questions about using this platform, feel free to post them in the separate topic/thread here .

  3. If you find a bug directly related to the forums, please fill out this form: forms.gle/m3Z8SsszvyDbvKzeA

Have fun exploring! It might take some time to get used to everything, but feel free to come back and share what you learn!:star_struck:

Oh my God!

I love it:smiley:

I like how I can use Markdown in this. Also, I uploaded a profile background. Pretty boring at the moment.

Where are the avatars?

Aaaaaaand… I encountered my first problem. There are now dozens of broken links in the wikiHow forums. Can the old thread locations update to point to the current locations of each thread?

Check the post on the Discourse Questions Thread in the # village-pump .:smiley:

Can someone please take a run past articles in the Category:Using the Forums and update them to match the processes Discourse uses, please? https://www.wikihow.com/Category:Using-the-Forums @JayneG

I’ll bookmark it for tomorrow for me to update… tap tap tap. (And wow, Discourse is awesome!)

Looks neat. I will definitely overuse the “like” button, so apologies in advance.
