Hi, Navy here! If you’re new to the forum, welcome to the community! There are so many knowledgeable people here who can answer (almost) any question! However, you may be a bit confused on navigating the forum. This guide will give you tips and tricks I hope you’ll find useful!
Some things you should know if you're new:
1:
When you first get into the forum, you will see a blue banner at the top. Make sure to read that! In case you can no longer find it, it basically tells you that the forum is only for questions and guides about Gimkit Creative. **Do not post game codes!** You could get reported for it. Codes are not allowed as that could lead to spam.2:

Complete the tutorials by @discobot! Just say, "@discobot start tutorial" if you want to complete the basic tutorial and "@discobot start advanced tutorial" if you want to complete the advanced tutorial. In order to use discobot commands, you have to turn "Skip new user onboarding tips and badges" off. To do that, click on your profile picture, click on the person icon, and click on "Preferences." Ta dah! You've just reached your settings! Click on "Interface," scroll to the bottom, and make sure "Skip new user onboarding tips and badges" doesn't have a check in the box. Now, you can use discobot commands! Say, "@discobot display help" to see a list of commands.Tips on navigating the dashboard:

You can also replace “3” with other numbers.

<h3>:
Hello!
<h4>:
