I Am New to MangoLassi, Where Do I Go First?
-
We at ML are always so glad to welcome newcomers to the community. We try our best to we welcoming and friendly. We understand that when you first arrive the community can be overwhelming and you might be unsure where to go first. That is only natural. So here is a little guide to finding the things that you need to get going right away.
Jump into the announcement thread and say hello. There is a thread whose only purpose is to announce yourself and let people know who you are and that you are new here. This is the best place to get started.
Check out What Are You Doing Now. This thread is a little like an internal Twitter feed with lots of people just posting what they are doing right at the moment. Tell us anything, this is an "anything goes" thread and a great place to get to know people as this is a very busy thread. Post about your latest project, your travel plans or just what you are having for dinner.
Set up your avatar. This helps people to recognize and remember you and makes the site much more personable. We have instructions on how to set up your avatar easily with Gravatar.
Hit the "Unread" Button and See What Is New The unread button is awesome, use it to see what the latest posts and active threads are so you can see what people are talking about right now.
Set Up Your Preferences Click on your picture in the top right and then click on your name. Set up your settings and preferences there. Possibly the most important ones are around how you will be notified. Many people like to get email notifications that threads that they are involved in have gotten a response (I would avoid subscribing to the What are you doing now? thread as it is so active.) And email alerts when someone wants to chat with you is good too!
Have fun and welcome to the community!

You almost need to pin this topic.. though it's one of the good things about ML, no pinning.

Just pinned it. Pinning has been available since the beginning.

Just not something that is worth doing for much.

There should be a topic about updating your Gravatar.
