to get “here” i click “forum” down the page, as always… ??? what do you mean by promoting this forum???
I agree, I follow “@memrise” on Twitter (as well as several staff) and I was hoping that announcements would be posted there by one of the team eg @emesekagg (if I have found the right person).
I love the jokes, RTs, bus tour news etc but what about keeping us informed of changes etc?
Incidentally, I’ve just had an email from one of the MemRise team and they are using this useful “signature”:

I really don’t understand why nobody added the forum visible on the memrise page yet.
Disappointing.

I went to check the Memrise blog to find out more information about recent changes, but there’s only ever Membus updates. Membus, of course, is a brilliant initiative, but as a learner far away from it all here in Asia, it’s a little frustrating to not be able to find information on anything else. I stumbled across this new forum by chance while Googling the link for the blog. This surprised me since I’m on Memrise everyday learning and creating courses, and I like to check the emails and blog updates often. I’m wondering why it seems to be so hidden from the main website / app?

Hi @Fiona,
I too wish we MemRise users were kept more informed - but in defence, all course creators were informed about the change (which we have been discussing) and it hasn’t happened yet (so in a sense we are preparing the ground, then I hope @OliviaZavala will inform everyone somehow).
Also the “Forum” link at the bottom of every page on the learning area does bring us here.
I also wish @Memrise in Twitter would be used to keep us up to date. (@Lien & @emesekagg is this your role?)
Hope you find your way around and feel part of the Community soon.
There is ANYTHING AT THE BOTTOM of the page? I never got to see it, I have too many courses…
If there is anything of value to attend, it should be not under the endlessly scrolling bottom end.
The more it applies to the link to the link to discussions. all gone are the in formations to the particular courses … it took me three months to realize how can I access the new format discussion.
And I see why … the link as the damned bottom of the page. At the end I will never see

If it is at the bottom of page - that is not useful at all.

As you wilI have read, we all agree it’s very hard to find - often far to low down a long list.
This is the best suggestion from @Kaimi
which would appear on the top of every page and course.

Totally
(is there any response from the Memrise developers to the people’s suggestions and worries at all? I do not know, I just registered at the forum, out of frustration … the old discussion threads are gone and it took me months to realise, there is some “forum” … As I said - the bottom of the page is SO wrong place, that even when I was looking for the forum or something it took me three months to get here.)
There doesn’t seem to be a response at present although many of us “regulars” have drawn this request (for increased publicity) to their attention from time to time.
May I suggest you explore the various forum categories, including the “Course Creators’ Corner” and “like” some of the comments you read. They may answer some of your questions.

This continues to be an issue - with only 2,900 users having found their way to this new forum - and the suggestion made by @Kaimi near the top of this thread would be an easy way of solving it. However, we know from what we have been told that Memrise have no plans to develop the website, so I’m not ‘holding my breath’. In the meantime, in addition to including the url of my course forums in the details area of my courses, I have now added the words “YOU CAN ALSO GET THERE VIA THE “FORUMS” LINK AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE”. Every little bit helps…
The route to the Forum from the IOS App appears to be even more tortuous! Unless I am missing something, you have to navigate through: ‘settings’ and then --> ‘feedback & support’ (which takes you to the Knowledge Base, where you look without success for any reference to the forum), then, in desperation, you try --> ‘Memrise’ (which you almost need a magnifying glass to see at the bottom of the page) - this takes you to the website homepage (!), from where you can scroll down to -->‘Forums’, which brings you here - but I expect many people will have given up long before this.*
I would like to be able to add a mention of the forum in my course details area on the App, but can’t find any way to edit that area. Does anyone know if that’s possible for course creators?
*Edit - The alternative - but equally tortuous route in the IOS App - is: ‘settings’ --> ‘feedback & support’ --> ‘social’ --> ‘chat with other users or send a message to others’ (and then scroll down to find a link to: --> "Community Forum’s Language Quarters’.

Hi Ann,
Thanks! I think it’s because I have the iOS App. Looking in the website’s FAQs --> iOS App --> Things you can’t do in the iOS App, it says you cannot create mems or courses. You have to do it in the website and it should then sync across to the mobile device. I guess that means you cannot edit in the iOS App either. Although the screen on my iPad looks similar to your first screenshot above (but not identical), with the same 4 buttons (rocket, download, activities and trashcan), I can’t find ‘edit course’ or a route to it anywhere.
The edits I made on the website earlier have not yet synced across yet. I’ll leave it for a day or so and see what happens.
Thanks again
Hi Alan!
You can’t edit on Android also. You have to go via browser and do the editing there. And then you have to do the out-in logging thing also

You beat me to it @Atikker .
Do you mean this? . . .
You can change it -> edit course -> details-> short description . . .
You have to go via browser and do the editing there.
That area appeared some time ago (after creating or contributing to a lot of my courses) [PS 2015 I am told] and I have been meaning to go back and fill in that field.
I would like to be able to add a mention of the forum in my course details area on the App,
Good idea @alanh to also plug this forum at the same time

you might be doing too many courses
I believe, that to some standards I ma be doing too many of them. However as long, as I do manage them and I am making progress, who cares? I am learning 4 languages every day, sharpening one other, learning other two occasionally and learning some chemistry, coding and whatsoever… sure, that is not a little,
Excellent ideas lets hope they work on it soon, I would like to use forums often but sifting through them to find something relevant to what I am thinking is like looking for a small screw in a saw pit full of saw dust.
