      Hello community,

      So time to discover the new forum functionalities!!!

      Here are a couple things you can use:

      Writing interface
      This new forum is using Markdown as a scripting text language.
      To learn more about it, you can go here

      Image upload
      This is now fully automated and you can copy paste whatever you wish.
      There is a hard limit of 90 images per hour, so if you get an error, that might be because we reached the limit… Just be patient in this case!

      Private Messages
      This is now replaced by a “chat” feature. it achieves the same functionality except you can use the advanced editing text tools (no image, file uploads)…

      Ask a question
      Now in the support section, you can use the “ask a question” function. This is very helpful when you need to check how to solve the same issue you might be facing…

      Tagging posts
      It is matching Twitter convention by just putting hashtag and a keyword -> #important #forum #tips

      Switching interface to dark mode
      This forum can be very tiring for some people… Just give your eyes some rest by clicking on the light bulb close to the search icon…

      Change Forums Settings
      You can change forum Settings by clicking on your Avatar.
      A drop window should open and go to “settings”…
      There you will be able to change a few things about the forum preferences

      How do I add images and links to my signature?
      Add image:

      ![alt-text](url-to-image)
      

      Add URL:

      [Text](url)
      

      Add image with link:

      [![alt-text](url-to-image)](url)
      

      More tips to come later on!

        <h2>Quick update</h2><p><br />Following the complete change of Writting Editor, you are no longer able to post pictures and links in signatures.<br />I know this will be a setback to some but the gain of flexibility of the new editor just superseeds the need of fancy signatures…<br /></p>
