Interactive New User Tutorial: Grrrreat certification!

Site Feedback
1

I’m in love with the new forum :heart_eyes:

The badges system in the line of Stack Overflow and other great websites is… great. And a bit addictive! The interactive tutorial for new users is an amazing and a refreshing idea especially in an interactive site like this.

Does it comes with the forum system or has it been developed by a member of the staff?

I think this is the first time i fully read and follow a website tutorial, so I’m really impressed it achieves the goal of motivate a lazy person like me to do it X.X

Badges and interaction is a strong key to create addiction. Take it into account for the next game you develop! :wink:

Thanks for a job well done.

Gotta catch 'em all! Yes, the badges are built into Discourse, but we are able to create our own.

Glad you’re enjoying it!

It’s all a standard part of the software, Discourse.

And the similarities with Stack Overflow aren’t accidental, Jeff Atwood co-founded both.

Can a previously registered user (from before the forum software change) access the interactive tutorial?

I don’t see any obvious link to it, but maybe my search of the forum was inadequate.

Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.

13

And for reference, the link is in the “Greetings!” PM that you should receive once you first access the forum.

Thanks, I found it!

Unfortunately, I couldn’t persuade myself to finish it. I seemed to know most of what it was teaching, so became tedious.

Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
