How about a thread on Discourse so new users can quickly learn.
I have a couple of tips:
-
Highlight certain text and a Quote button appear. Click to quote that person and text.
-
If you want to quote the whole post, click Reply and then click the chat balloon on the top left of the editor.
-
While you are in the editor box, you can continue to scroll the thread above to highlight and quote. This will automatically be added into the editor, making it so much easier to multi quote.
-
Topics which you replied to will be automatically Tracked. That means in Unread you will see them if there’s new answer. You will also see a bubble notification on the thread list if there are new conversations.
-
You can Watched threads. This will send you notification on your Avatar (top of screen) to show you there’s new conversation. You can always change them to Normal if you don’t care to track.

This sidebar can act as a scroll bar for longer convos as well as having a button for replying to the main post in a thread and another for watching/tracking the thread.

To make Discourse more manageable, don’t forget there is a Dismiss button at the Botton of New or Unread. You can skim through the thread titles and mark them as Read.
