User tutorial

I currently know how to do the following things:

@discobot start new user

Starts one of the following interactive narratives: new user, advanced user.

@discobot roll 2d6

:game_die: 3, 6

@discobot quote

:left_speech_bubble: Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you ā€” Princess Diana

@discobot fortune

:crystal_ball: You may rely on it

to do tutorial, and get certified/licensed
message @discobot ā† click name, click message top right corner (or click discobots profile icon when encountered and click message, top right corner)
https://206.81.1.216/u/discobot/summary ā† click link, message top right corner

then PM/message discobot whatever title
and for ā€œCertifiedā€ badge type
@discobot start new user

for licensed badge type:
@discobot start advanced user

all of this and more @discobot will explain to you if you PM/message it with the command @discobot display help (begin tutorial will be the first commands (new/advanced user) it tells you)
discobot interactions after initiating tutorial will be done via PMā€™s (you should get a green notification icon, in the top right corner of Chrono forum on your profile icon, when discobot replies directly to you)


(aaaaaand i accidentally started the tutorial again by making this post explaining it :man_facepalming:)

I just finished the basic tutorial, wonā€™t do the advanced one right now though.

This is great to know, thanks for sharing. It looks like we probably donā€™t have access to this because weā€™ve got some updating to do.

A dark theme is something Iā€™ve looked into in the past and would be willing to support for users that want it once we have the capability. Iā€™ll see where we can fit in a quick update assuming it wonā€™t distract us from too many other priorities :slight_smile:

Awesome :grin::+1:

A very good how to guide on this topic:
Allow users to select dark / light theme

I for once would love dark themeā€¦ itā€™s a lot easier on my eyes especially at night time when I deal with gaming stuff :slight_smile:

Canā€™t remember the last time I saw twitch or youtube light themes at allā€¦

Thanks!

Iā€™ve gone ahead and setup a base dark theme.

Anyone should now be able to choose between the two via https://206.81.1.216/my/preferences/interface

Feel free to bug me if you notice any glaring issues. I only made a few theme changes from our light theme overrides.

Thank you! This is much better :black_heart:

ā€¦though itā€™s a bit difficult to see the black heart. So, I guess this will have to do now: :heart:

Hereā€™s another piece of advice for this Tutorial thread.
Take your giphy link feed it into google image search, add ā€œsite:imgur.comā€ if necessary and use that instead.

Edit: Well Iā€™ve had issues with giphy before with them trying to discourage hotlinking things, itā€™s hard to just get a direct link to an image from them at all. But now the gif broke on my post as well. So I guess itā€™s a discourse side problem, sorry.
Edit2: for documentationā€™s sake, http or https doesnā€™t seem to make a difference either and I canā€™t find anything about the issue on the discourse support forums.

Thank you for the dark theme! This is so much easier on my eyes.

I think the visited thread title text colour should be a bit darker. Itā€™s currently very similar to unvisited threads, so itā€™s hard to tell at a glance.

I was about to reply about this exact same thing yesterday after I switched ā€¦ but I was so happy with the dark theme I decided to give it some time :smiley: But yeah would be great if it was more visible ā€¦ I couldnā€™t see any other issues so far though.

Yeah this is the reason I switched back to the standard theme. I just could not tell what threads I had exhausted and which I had not.
