Discourse (the software powering this community) offers tutorials in the form of a conversation between you and a bot named @discobot. There are two tutorials, one for new users & one for advanced users. To try them, create a message (click your profile picture, then the envelope icon, then New Message) & send a message to @discobot. Put whatever you want to in the subject & make the message either:

@discobot start new user or @discobot start advanced user.

When you complete the tutorials you get a “certified” badge (new user tutorial) & “licensed” badge (advanced user tutorial) & a certificate suitable for framing!

Probably a silly question, but I don’t see an envelope when I click on my profile picture.

I’m not sure what envelope you are referring to. Care to elaborate?

I believe he is referring to ‘personal message’ which I don’t think is available to new users for some period of time or number of postings ?

When you join, you get a message from discobot telling you there is a tutorial and that you can start it by clicking on your profile picture and the envelope to send a message.

We haven’t used Discobot on here for a long time. Can you forward me the message you got so I can figure out where it’s coming from and stop it?

@Mike - I know what it is. What I’m saying is we don’t have it installed and haven’t for years. But something it still emitting that message.

Nevermind. I found it and quashed it.
