Ok silly question. There is a badge called Certified. “This badge is granted upon successful completion of the interactive new user tutorial.” But where the heck is the new user tutorial? I searched the tutorials and forums, but found nothing. A link on this page would be helpful: [https://forums.kodeco.com/badges/100/certified](https://forums.kodeco.com/badges/100/certified) ---

Hello! It looks like this is an old feature of our forum software that has since been disabled: - [Interactive new user tutorial? - #4 by DanielMalmgren - Misc - openHAB Community](https://community.openhab.org/t/interactive-new-user-tutorial/36400/4) So AFAIK the new user tutorial no longer exists :] ---

**Update:** It actually does exist, but it is hidden for some reason. > [@rwenderlich](#): > > So AFAIK the new user tutorial no longer exists :] I received this information from RW staff, and upon following the instructions (via private message to @discobot), I was taken on a magical journey of new-usering (and received the Badge). > This is a tutorial about how to use the forums. It was introduced for new users some time this year—people who joined before then weren’t automatically shown it. > > However, if they wish to run through the tutorial, and obtain the badge, they can: > > **1. Start a new private message thread with @discobot** > **2. Set the message to `@discobot start new user`** > **3. @discobot will then take the user through the tutorial, when they complete it they’ll be awarded the badge.** > > I hope this helps. :] ---

Hehe guilty, sort of. I don’t need to complete them all, just to get them filled in without gaps up to the latest. 😂 ---
