User blog:GlassCrescent/Newcomers Guide: The Discussions page

This is a shortened and less detailed version of Wikia's description. Please spare some time to read that.

The discussions page is simply a minimalistic, easy to use way to communicate with the whole community. Here are some short instructions to get you started using the discussions tab accurately.

Posting and Viewing Messages
The main reason the discussion page exists is so that you can share messages with others. This also includes images and links. To start a new post, type into the entry field at the top of the discussions page. If you are on mobile you can tap the small plus icon located in the upper right or bottom right. You can edit your posts and replies in the first 24 hours from when you created them.

Some longer posts cannot be displayed fully on the main list however by clicking/tapping on a post you can view it and it's replies. If you want to add your own reply, you can also acsess it from this screen. To see someone's replies and posts click/tap the more icon (three dots in a line) in the upper right corner of one of their posts or replies,

Upvoting is a great way to get a good message to more of the community to upvote tap/click the upward facing arrow on the left of the post, after upvoting it will be highlighted yellow.To find posts there are two main filters, "Trending" (most upvotes recently) and "Latest" (recently posted). However you can also filter it by category.

Reporting
To report content click the more icon then report post. An example of a good time to report is if someone is spamming discussions with posts or harassing others.

Any reported content will have a small orange triangle on the post after you report it. It is only visable to the one who reported, Dicussions Moderators and Administrators.
