Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Hey Forumites!!

This is a space for members new and old, to gather around and help make our newer members feel welcome!

We've all been newbies ourselves at some point, and can empathise with how incredibly daunting it can be entering a new space. A lot of folks have trouble even knowing where to start, and (even though we're in the midst of improving it all) we know the forums can be a tricky space to navigate - which can make it very difficult for newbies to be able to find their footing! On top of that, joining any established community means being 'the new kid on the block', and seeing others connecting easily with established relationships can sometimes feel like we aren't welcome, or that we need to 'break in' to the conversation somehow.

Well this space aims to alleviate that pressure and help facilitate some new connections! Whether you're brand new here or you've been here since the very beginning, you're welcome to come hang out, meet some new people, reconnect with others, and maybe even make a new friend!

We will try to tag new members as they join, so help us make them feel welcome!

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Hello there I’m not exactly sure how to use this site I don’t even know if I’m writing this post in the right section. I’m on a small phone writing this and my eyes are not the best. I just joined a few days ago this is my first post

@Ru-bee I feel the same - so many emails notifying comments but I struggle to find the string of conversation. It feels disjointed

@_tired_ @Indigo_ I hear you, it can take time to get used to the forums format. We're hoping to improve the flow of our forums soon which will hopefully make them feel a bit more intuitive to navigate, but in the meantime we can definitely address the notifications feeling overwhelming:

You can change your notification preferences in your forum profile by clicking on your profile icon at the top of the page and then hitting "Settings" > "Subscriptions and Notifications" > "Notification settings" from here you can choose how you get your notifications - you could choose not to receive them via email or you might decide that you want to receive a daily "digest" email rather than individual notifications as they happen.

Feel free to have a poke around and reach out to us if you need help!

For some more general forum tips you can check out this post here

Hope this is helpful!

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Oh wow, lots of creative pursuits @Crackerjack

Being an organist is something you don't hear every day. What drew you to the organ?

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Ru-bee I was a pianist first.... an extension really. It's an amazing instrument. No 2 organs are the same... I'm still mastering the pedals!
