Community Tips & Tricks - Getting the most out of the Site Part 1

EricS

 We want to ensure you get the most from the new community, so we're creating a series of Community Tips  & Tricks blog posts over the next several weeks.  

 

We want to help take the guess work out of the site and how things work.  The plan is to highlight 2-3 areas or features each post, and include a few visuals so you can get the "lay of the land."  As you browse the site and discover what it has to offer, please send us a note (or comment) and let us know what you'd like to see, or something you may have found that would be cool for other users to know (hint-hint, nudge-nudge).

 

This week we're showcasing the Subscription | Subscribe options.  An important feature to stay up-to-date on discussions in particular areas!

 

The "Options Dropdown" item, found on all pages, allows you to subscribe, bookmark, mark as read, among other options.  We've listed a few of the subscription options below.
