# Some infos about Discourse

## Questions

Discourse is a fairly popular platform and many of the answers to questions you might have are probably out there, try googling it, check [meta.discourse.org](https://meta.discourse.org) or ask us [here](https://poloverse.net/c/site-feedback/2).

## Mobile

Discourse looks really great in a mobile browser and that’s how we recommend using it. You can set (personalized) browser notifications following [these instructions](https://meta.discourse.org/t/android-live-notifications-are-now-in-core/86803). But there are also official iOS and Android apps, if that’s your thing. Here’s the links for [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.discourse) and [iOX](https://apps.apple.com/de/app/discourse-hub/id1173672076).

## Tournament Calendar

There is a calendar with all upcoming tournaments in the category [Tournies](https://poloverse.net/c/tournies/7). Each tournament has an associated event post (where you can rsvp) and a unique tag. You can find the calendar in the hamburger menu ( ☰ ) or by clicking [here](https://poloverse.net/upcoming-events).

## Direct Messages

On the top right you find your profile picture, click on it an then click the little envelope ( 📧 ) (you might have to click twice), or you can click [here](https://poloverse.net/my/messages). This will open a message menu or page where you can access direct messages. You can also create group-chats there.

## Tags

Tags is the best way to find content and to help people find stuff too. Use them liberally.

## Help

If something is not working, or you have a feature request, post in the [Site Feedback category](https://poloverse.net/c/site-feedback/2).

## Themes

In the hamburger menu ( ☰ ), you can toggle dark and light mode once you selected your colour scheme under user \> preferences \> interface.

## Clubs

On the forum, clubs are represented as so called user groups. You find a list of the groups in the hamburger menu ( ☰ ) or [here](https://poloverse.net/g).  
If your club does not exist yet or you want to set up a subforum for your club (or your orga group or what ever secret topics you want to hide from the polo public), talk to an admin.

## Profile

You can set up your profile via the menu at the top right of the page. Add a picture, location, some words about yourself, favourite bird species etc.

## Admins

There’s a few things that require an admin to take care of. There is a [list of admins](https://poloverse.net/g/admins) you can find via [groups](https://poloverse.net/g) in the hamburger menu ( ☰ ). Either direct message them, or tag them in a post.

@andy_h shouldn’t this be a banner again? Or is it still? don’t get it…could be kinda confusing if it’s just floating around in the ‘discussion’ category

Hi johnny :) you sent a message where/ to who?  
Top of this topic there is a link to ‚site feedback‘. More people would see it there than here. So maybe copy paste what exactly is the issue and maybe i will also find the time to help.  
Hope it goes well. All the best  
Remy

The simplest solution is if you post the info as a reply to the topic of the tournament ([Dublin Open 3 2024](https://poloverse.net/t/dublin-open-2/1875))  
Another good way is to get the person who created the event (@Kropa) to add the details to the first post. (Us admins can do that as well, but that feels a bit intrusive to me :) )

And yeah, pls use the feedback section for such requests

polove ❤
