  • So... expanding from my comment from yesterday, here are my thoughts regarding the "tour".
  • I think we had the proposal for an interactive "learn the site" tour on the (now deprecated) forum. This doesn't mean a page, where you scroll down and see the different components gliding into the screen with nice effect, but something, were you enter a question (either a proper one or one just "for the guide") and get to know all of the features you have available as new users yet, such as:
  • 1. categories
  • 1. posting questions/articles (and using Markdown)
  • 1. posting answers
  • 1. posting comments
  • 1. flagging
  • 1. suggesting edits
  • 1. voting
  • This does sound like a lot features, but I think that it might work for users to teach them their use by using an interactive wizard. I am somehow inspired by Discourse's "sign up tour" here, which you can try out if you sign up on our (now deprecated) forum.

So... expanding from my comment from yesterday regarding the "tour".

I think we had the proposal for an interactive "learn the site" tour on the (now deprecated) forum. This doesn't mean a page, where you scroll down and see the different components gliding into the screen with nice effect, but something, were you enter a question (either a proper one or one just "for the guide") and get to know all of the features you have available as new users yet, such as:

This does sound like a lot features, but I think that it might work for users to teach them their use by using an interactive wizard. I am somehow inspired by Discourse's "sign up tour" here, which you can try out if you sign up on our (now deprecated) forum.
