Welcome, and thank you for joining 3Community! 😊
After signing up, take a little bit of time to explore your 3Community membership profile and the features that you have. Why not start by clicking on your avatar and popping into your account settings? If you want to learn about the basics though, just click on the "help" button and it will take you to our Community FAQs page. (Keep it in mind that some Community features are based on your rank!)
Your username
Your username is something that is unique to you. If you want to change your username, for any reason, reach out to the 3Community Moderator team and we will do this for you! Our only asks are:
- Don’t use your mobile number.
- Keep it polite.
- Refrain from using the word Three or the number 3 in your username.
The Moderation team keeps an eye on usernames, and may change your username if it falls into any of the above categories.
Your avatar
Feel free to use one of our generic avatars, or upload one to represent you. The guidelines here are:
- No personal pictures.
- Keep it polite.
As always, the 3Community Moderation team are here to help you and make sure that avatars are appropriate.
Your 3Community rank
Ranks are a way to recognise and reward those who participate on 3Community. The higher the rank, the more features you have to help others 💪 When you see a response from a high ranking member, you will know straight away that they have a great level of experience! Learn more about the 3Community ranking system by clicking here.
You can rank up by:
- Reading posts, blogs, ideas, and other content.
- Starting topics on any of our boards.
- Taking part in topic discussions.
- Providing answers and accepted solutions to other 3Community member's questions.
- Receiving likes on your helpful posts.
Your features
Starting off, you have basic features such as:
- Starting a topic.
- Using @ mentions which links to members and content.
- Uploading photos and screenshots.
- Uploading videos or linking to YouTube.
- Give kudos or likes to helpful topics, posts, and blogs.
- Accepting a solution on your own topic, or adding a small signature.
When you start a topic or you are sending a private message (PM), hover over the menu bar to know what each one does.
Note: As your rank changes, you gain more features and permissions. At the moment, the option to upload photos and videos is only available in desktop view.
How to call a 3Community Moderator
Our 3Community members are great at offering advice and helping each other out! Sometimes though, there are things that only a Moderator can do. Check out our "What a Mod Does” blog by clicking here, and if the answer to your question falls there, then reach out to us, and we will be happy to assist you!
All you need to do is call us and we will come running, well, as quickly as our legs will carry us anyway 😉 Simply use the @ mention feature followed by Three_ and a Moderator's name.
