Where was that again…?
Getting used to a new platform can be a bit confusing. We totally understand. Here are some basics for getting around TabiFolk and finding what you need.
Desktop
There are two main navigation options when using a desktop computer: the top menu and the side menu.
Top Menu
The top bar of the website has links to the main website sections (Discussions, Groups, and Blogs) as well as a home button which takes you back to the main activity feed. Hovering over the Discussions menu will show links to the different forums on the site. (On smaller screens, these menu items may be cut off with a “…”. Clicking the “…” will show the hidden menu items.)
To the right of the top menu, your user name and logo are displayed next to buttons for Search (click to bring up a search box), your mailbox, and notifications. If you have new messages or notifications, a badge will appear next to the icon. Clicking on your mailbox or notifications will show unread messages/notifications as well as a link to see more.
Clicking on your user name will show options for viewing or editing your profile, changing various account settings, and logging out of TabiFolk.
Side Menu
To the left of the screen is the side menu. This menu can be expanded or minimized by clicking on the three bars at the top.
In the upper section there are links to your timeline, personal blog, Tabi Contacts, groups, and discussions/topics you are subscribed to.
Near the bottom you can suggest a new forum, as well as join TabiFolk on Twitter and Facebook.
Mobile
To fit smaller screens, the menus are rearranged a bit on mobile devices.
Top Menu
The top menu on mobile shows the TabiFolk logo, a search icon (click to open a search box), and notifications icon (click to show unread notifications, or see all notifications).
Hint! Tapping on the TabiFolk log will bring you back to the main activity feed.
Side Menu
Click the three lines on the upper-left of the screen to display the side menu.
The top part of of the website has links to the main website sections (Discussions, Groups, and Blogs) as well as a home button which takes you back to the main activity feed. Hovering over the Forums menu will show links to the different forums on the site.
Under the top area there are links to your profile, timeline, personal blog, messages inbox, Tabi Contacts, groups, and forums/topics you are subscribed to.
Near the bottom you can access your account settings or log out.
