Hey @lee , this is the page I'm going to when I click on that link on theelastic.guru.

With the way the Welcome page is set up right now, theelastic.guru/welcome should automatically direct to the most recent post you create as the Admin user for your site (usually user #1 but that can be changed from Community Content on your /admin/customization/config) with the #welcome tag on it.

Have you created a page more recently than 22 June that you tagged #welcome, which is not appearing when I click on the 😊Join the Welcome thread button?

Gotcha, yeah I am using the welcome tag in other places on that account, thanks for the heads up as always :D

It's always a joy :)

This is something in the pipeline, but for now it's helpful for us to reiterate to Creators that /welcome will always bring users to the most recent post your main Admin user tags with #welcome. Feel free to have a separate user account for yourself and tag all those posts with #welcome if you want!

I'm just speculating here, but you could maybe make both users admins of the same organization so you can switch between authors (ok, now I really want to try this before I suggest that it will work!)...

I cant see a way to change the admin user ID though (which is currently me) does that mean that anyone can add the welcome tag to a post and that will overide the onboarding welcome thread card?

Do you see a Staff User field under Community Content on /admin/customization/config? There should only be one user whose posts are triggering the /welcome path update, and the number in this field should (hopefully 😬) be their User ID...
