Hi MDL'ers,
Hope you're having the best of days.
Currently when a user registers on MyDramaList, there isn't really a guide on what to do on here. As such, it can be rather overwhelming. I'd like to create a private message that will be sent to users upon registration. Any recommendations on what to include would be beneficial.
So far i've come up with the following:
Hi *Insert Username*,
Welcome to MyDramaList. We've come up with a short guide on the various things you can do on here.
First, we'd recommend adding Dramas/Movies/Variety Shows to your list: https://mydramalist.com/shows/top
What else should we add?
When i came to MDL I would have loved to know that I can create a profile page (I realized it after weeks) and a user wrote me a pm to asked how I did this and how o got the idea....
Something like:
