How to use our community

Hi all! One thing I miss in the community are the alerts of replys, new mesagges… It is very useful the emails with this kind of notifications, but once you are in the community, you have to enter to your profile to see if you have new messages. May be it could help to have any visual alerts related to the profile picture that appears in the header. I hope I made my self clear  Thanks!!!

In order for this community to thrive we want to create a safe and inclusive environment where our members feel comfortable to be themselves and share their stories and challenges. Core principles of the community These are the main 4 principles that make our community a wonderful place for all:    Accessible. We’re inclusive and open to everyone and anyone that wants to collaborate. We believe that’s how meaningful conversations are made. [Diversity in opinions, respectful discourse and being empathetic to others is our way]. 

Hey, there’s a new community functionality where by if you link to another community post the link turns into a nicely designed topic card, see below.   Cool, huh? @james  

Hi all, I found a great shortcut to access new comments and discussions since your previous visit to the community. It’s on the community drop down menu, see screenshot below .  If you click there you will see only new comments posted from your last visit, which is quite handy. So, here I can see that @maxgayler is the only new poster since the last time I popped by to the community. This may be useful to regular visitors such as @Christine_Werner, @amy.carlson @Nordin @Marta or @james. 

Hi folks, hope you made it safe and sound to the community, just wondering how you find the sign up process with the ‘mega’ secret code. I want to make sure this is as easy an intuitive as possible so keen to hear your thoughts. Talking this opportunity to test a very suitable gif   

Hello All, me again :)A couple of things about Topics. Sorry for mixing 3 queries in one post and if I come across too demanding: I think the field to select the Category should go Under “What kind of topic are you creating” and above “Title” .    if I’m inside a section and I create a post I expect for the post to be automatically created there instead of me having to drill down the categories. Ideally it should be auto-populated and then give the user the choice of changing it if they need because as the Topics, categories and all that grows I can see this bothering some users…    Related to #2 it would be good to have a button inside the category to create the post and not having to resort to the top one. Sure now I know where it is but the first post I created I spent a good 5-10 seconds looking for the way to add a post in that category. 

Hello. I noticed that, on the right side, there’s a list of the community members and each member has points assigned. Are points assigned based on each member’s interactions within the community? What are they for?
