Hello everyone! What do you think?

I like the new ask.fp.o. However, I cannot seem to find the new user tutorial.

Hello! It’s in the #start-here category along with a few other posts. Are these not visible to you?

3 posts were merged into an existing topic: Where have the old posts gone?

I change my mind, now I think it’s OK.

Could you elaborate on some details?

Nice to see you have chosen to go with this forum format.

However it is really annoying that previous discussions are not linked seamlessly when coming from a search engine (DDG/Google/other). The welcome page isn’t useful and I have to resort to the waybackmachine more often than not.

Where have the old posts gone?

The new platform is awesome.

Please keep polishing it. For example here i use a 16" screen and the input boxes, side-by-side, makes it hard to review, especially because it does not show the horizontal scroll bar.
Log messages often are long.

but it really is a great platform with lots of care for the user and that is damn great thanks !!!

Hi @FranciscoD ,
so far so good. (:
I must admit though that the navigation to the “start-here” is somewhat unintuitive to me. If someone new posts an english post, I would directly link them to https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/welcome-to-ask-fedora-please-read-me-first/69479 (and not to the general start-here).
But even if I then get to that post. It always scrolls down to the bottom of the post history and not to the top where the relevant info is.
Why is that? Can that be changed?

Generally speaking (about start-here) there is too much navigation involved till I reach the post that should get me started and even then there’s a bunch of links. So even more navigating… (in my opinion)
I can understand that this is somewhat necessary but I’d hope for a quicker navigation to relevant information in the future.

Especially this post seems unnecessary and confusing to me. It doesn’t make sense to me because it just brings me back to the previous page (assuming that someone entered via this link).
To me this is unnecessary redundancy and should be deleted.

Anyway, thanks for hosting this forum. It’s great to have such place for fedora users.

The “about this category” posts are a Discourse thing, I’m afraid. The description given there becomes the description on the top banner and on the main front page. So, we can’t remove them. This specific post is used to form the global banner that you see on the front page.

A post was split to a new topic: Text formatting issues

Closing this now. Please open new topics for individual issues.

Cheers.
