Update “About” Pinned Posts to Reflect New Developer Forum Joining Process

Forum Help Forum Features
#1

As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to find accurate information on how to join the Developer Forum because many pinned “About” posts in categories and subcategories still contain outdated links. With the recent update to the forum rules and joining process (Refreshed DevForum Rules and Staying Updated), the old link (How to Join the Roblox Developer Forum) has been replaced with a new one:

New link: Roblox Developer Forum Rules & International Communities

If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would improve my experience using the forum because it would ensure that all pinned “About” posts provide the correct, up-to-date information for new developers. This would reduce confusion and make it easier for users to understand how to join the forum under the new system.

Outdated Links in Pinned Posts:

I understand your motivation, but I wouldn’t consider this too important because the outdated forum post already contains giant text at the top redirecting to the new requirements.

While I was writing this, I did notice that there is this quote format that says that it is outdated and there is a new one, but need to click on the outdated and then press another link that is updated is unnecessary… Why can’t you just get redirected to the new one instead? That would be great in terms of UX (User Experience).

Very low impact probably, but had a couple minutes spare so fixed it. Thanks
