So.. this actually happened on my forum today. I am deciding if I should be sad, impressed, or if it is funny.
Cuteness aside, and nevermind the fact that she created a thread to ask how to created a thread....
This is the first time that I get a member that knows Facebook, but does NOT knows how a forum works. I expect to start getting more like that as time progresses. She is 13.
I did follow up, and I am doing some analysis
1) People have to choose a FORUM to post INTO, not post into a generic timeline. That is somehow different.
2) The term "thread" seems completely alien to them
3) The instinct somehow is to look at the top of the forum for a textfield in which to share something, not to click on a button and then write a lenghty text
HI. Could you tell me how I publish something. I am used to Facebook and this is all new to me
