  • Using Discourse — finding information, posting, messaging and staying connected

Thanks Brendon That was very useful and I would recommend it’s made regular feature for newbies. Nick

Yes thanks @Brendon_Hatcher really useful.

Hi @Brendon_Hatcher , unfortunately I couldn’t make this due to a clash but it looks really helpful and answers a lot of questions I have - is there going to be another one soon? I know my partner, my friend, and I all want to attend! I’ve got the slides but there’s only so much I can infer from them. Thank you!

Or is there a recording available?
