This is where we'll provide detailed instructions on what to do and in what ideal sequence.
1) SET UP YOUR PROFILE PAGE
On the left side of the screen, you will see your profile items.
Click on About and you'll be able to upload your photo and your cover image, and fill in your basic information, and your bio. Later you will be able to add blog posts, and even set up your own store.
You can write and respond to posts in your personal area, and you can add images, videos, polls, gifs and files to your posts.
At the top right of the main screen, you'll see these icons:
A little green number will show when you get messages or notifications. Clicking on them shows your friend requests, your messages, and your notifications. Clicking on your name will take you to your About page. Clicking on your image will open your Profile dropdown menu.
Whenever you want to message or chat with another member, if they are a friend, you can click the envelope icon at the top right,
and click on New message, write your message, and if they're online they'll get a little popup window and hear a bell, and you'll be able to chat with them - or leave a message if they're offline. If you don't see a friend on the list when sending a message, start typing their member name in the Select Recipients box, and they'll appear.
You'll find these envelopes in various places such as their profile page, the member list etc.
If they're not a friend yet, you can chat with or message them by clicking on their envelope at the member list or their profile page.
If you're using your phone, click on your profile image at the top right and the friends, messages, and notifications icons will become visible.
These are what the quick-jump icons on the far left of the screen are for:
2) START EXPLORING THE COMMUNITY
Below is what you'll find at the various menu items going from left to right in the menu bar.
Community:
Activity Stream is the running record of what members are doing
My Profile is all the items about you from your personal area
Groups are special-interest groups that you can join, or set up
Members is the list of members
FAQ will be the list of frequently asked questions
Community News is what it sounds like
Notifications is another way to get to your notifications
You can use the Ideas Board to add suggestions for the community.
At the top of the Activity Feed above, you can post to your personal area, or to any group (see Groups below), and you can choose what you see in your feed, by clicking on the Community icon under the posting area.
You can also schedule your post, as well as choose who sees it. You can add images, videos, polls, gifs and files to your posts.
In your My Profile personal area you'll finds lots of things that you can adjust, like who can see what, how you like to be notified (you can turn off many kinds of email notifications here), and much more.
The Hangout is your main hangout chat space where you can shoot the sh*t, meet new people, help and be helped. You can add images and files (soon) to your posts.
There are also subject-specific chat rooms at the Groups page, and you can create your own public or private chat rooms at The hangout by clicking on the + sign next to Channels. You can also click on a member name and chat with them individually.
At the Messages page you can see all your messages, and you can also click on the New message icon at the top right, and select multiple member friends to send your message to, like an invitation to a chat room, for instance. Or choose Add People to the conversation at the Options gear icon.
