Is there a way to have user's fill out required profile fields after registration?
Hello! Our community has gone through a couple of iterations of required profile fields for our users, for tracking purposes. The problem is that when you add a new required profile field, users aren't notified about it. Is there a way to have a prompt show up letting the user know they must fill out the required profile…

Organizing country-specific and multilingual content
In April, we'll be expanding our community to many more global members than we do today. I would say about 90% of our community's content is relevant to all users, regardless of what country they live in, but 10% may only be relevant to to you depending on the country you reside in. I'm thinking we'll use a tagging…

Community newsletters and roundups?
Hiya Vanilla Community! 👋 I was chatting with some community managers today who were thinking about creating a newsletter or round up with community and product content for their community. I love the roundups that @Kirstie Macfarlane does (especially obsessed with the gif and emoji usage 👌) — you can see those here: I'm…

How Do You Know if Your Community is Healthy?
I have had a lot of conversations with community professionals, and one of the biggest common areas of interest (and often frustration!) is knowing what the data actually tells us about the health of our community. Discussions, comments, comments per discussion, page views, active users, new users…I can track all of that…

Are threaded (indented) discussions available?
Good day everyone, In longer discussions with multiple participants, it makes things easier to follow when you can reply to a particular poster and the location of your reply is based on who you reply to rather than when you replied in the discussion. Is the "Quote" feature the best way to do this? Thank you, Toby

Analytics for Ideas
Hi all! As some of you may know, we recently migrated all our ideas to Community. Now comes the fun part: data. I need deeper insights than what the out of the box 'Ideas' dashboard offers, but I am struggling to set it up. So far, with Vanilla's help, I've managed to create: ideas with at least 1 comment. Downside: this…

Automating ‘More on this topic…’ suggestions
Hi Vanilla friends, I’m currently working on improving our knowledge base setup on our Community. As part of this, I’m testing how User Guides from WithSecure would look on our community. In our current user guides (which do not sit on our community), we end each article with a ‘More on this topic…’ section that highlights…
