How do you find what you're looking for on the element14 Community?

cstanton

Once upon a time, using Google was frankly the easiest way to find what you wanted on the Community, but since we changed platforms, I'm wondering how much you may use the search box at the top?

So..

Bonus question, for clicking through to comment:

  • For me, email notifications are probably the main way I discover new content. If something catches my interest, I click through directly from the email.

    When I'm looking for a specific post I've found useful before, I usually check my bookmarks first, just like kmikemoo mentioned. If I still can't find it, I'll use the search box or browse through the menus and categories until I get to what I'm looking for.

    As for travelling, I've been outside my home country several times for holidays and sports. On one trip, I even took the opportunity to attend a job interview while I was already there, which turned out to be a nice bonus!

    You're definitely at risk on missing out on content, unless you've clicked through everywhere on the Community to receive notifications?

    That's true! I probably didn't explain it very well.

    I mainly use email notifications to keep up with new content from the areas I'm already subscribed to. But when I have some free time, I usually browse around the Community and jump into different sections depending on what I'm interested in at the time, Raspberry Pi, microcontrollers, RoadTests, projects, etc.

    So I'm sure I still miss plenty of interesting content, but notifications are more my way of keeping up with what I already follow rather than my only way of discovering things.
