Hey everyone, welcome to 'Newbies Corner'!

We've had a lot of new members join us here on the Discussion Boards this summer (yey!), and we wanted to create a little space below for any folks who are new to pop by, say hello, make connections, and ask any questions you might have about how Community works!

If you have any technical difficulties or questions, you can also pop a message to the Staff Team via the Help Desk here: https://community.themix.org.uk/categories/help-desk.

If ever you'd like to join one of our live Support Chats or General Chats too, you can see our Chat schedule here - it would be so nice to meet you! - https://www.themix.org.uk/get-support/support-groups/

Welcome!

    Some questions to get us started if you're new - feel welcome to jump in below and say hi!

    What's your first impression of Community so far?

    What are you hoping to find here?

    What's one thing you're proud of yourself for (it can be something that feels 'big' or 'small' - anything that makes you smile)!

    Hey there @DragonHalodance and welcome to our Community!

    Do you have any specific questions? We're here to help! We have a bunch of how to guides if you click here too.

    For our group chats, when they're open there will be a green "Join" button that will appear next to the room in that screenshot you've posted.

    And to change your profile picture you just need to click your profile and then click "Change Icon"

    ppl dont always need advice. sometimes all they rly need is a hand to hold. an ear to listen. and a heart to understand them. 🧸
