Wild and whacky idea... (1 Viewer)

[Jon]

Just had an innovative idea that might be useful for new members. It goes like this:

- Member joins up and gets sent an email asking them to complete a short survey, a wizard of sorts, that helps identify their needs
- The survey goes in different directions depending on their answers
- When they click Submit, they get presented with a list of links and text to help them best use the site, related to their answers

e.g. Access beginner, new to forums, wants to learn to code. They get a link to a tutorial on how to use the forums, and also a link to where to learn to code, with maybe a list of a couple of YouTube videos.

I have a wonderfull email address for these kinds of mails .... that I open about 1 time every 10 years or so...

They cannot use the forum without confirming a link in the email they get sent. I am referring to just adding a survey link to that email. Or, just have that survey link as an auto-reply to their Introduction post.
