How To Make a Topic

anon64955632 · January 21, 2019, 4:00pm

I’ve been seeing people lately asking “How do I make a topic?”, so here is how. (Note: General Topics are now not allowed on the forum)

EDIT: This first step is unnecessary.

First, go to the Latest or New tab. (In this case, I’m going to the New tab)

Then, click/tap the gray “+ Ask a Question” button in the top right.

After that, you should see a bunch of boxes. Fill them out how you want to.

When you’re done, tap the green “+ Create Topic” button.

There you go, you’ve made a topic! If you have questions, you can ask me here. If you are confused with any of these steps and want a fast, simple way to make a topic, go here: Hopscotch Forum

Oh and another thing,

This is a very good tutorial for new users.
I can’t see if it is in #faq right now, but it should be if it’s not

the_dancer · January 21, 2019, 11:43pm

I’m pretty sure it is.

MewtwoCreator · January 21, 2019, 11:44pm

Ok, I didn’t see what it was under though

MewtwoCreator · January 21, 2019, 11:44pm

Yeah it is I had to check latest

anon64955632 · January 21, 2019, 11:52pm

It’s in the FAQ.

MewtwoCreator · January 21, 2019, 11:54pm

I saw that, but thanks anyway.

They can skip the first step.

Well written! I’ve found a way that you can create a new topic using a link, so if you add this to the top post, new users would basically be able to just click a button or a link and then the topic editor would open.
This feature even supports prefilled content, although I haven’t added that in my example below.

Here is a simple link:
https://forum.gethopscotch.com/new-topic
Here is the link above, but clickable:
Click here to create a new topic

Here, you can find more information about this:
