Howdy Farmers,

So glad to have you here with us. I'm Frog , here to help you know your ways around here.

Navigation Station
Let's have a quick tour of our new home. The forum structure has been specifically designed to help you quickly find the information you need most.

News
For the latest announcements from Hay Day via official sources: update patch notes, sneakpeeks... when they happen.
From time to time, Forum Staff will share forum related announcements here as well.

Homecoming
That's right! The Supercell Community Forum has been a home for many of us and this place aims to continue the tradition. You will find everything you need to know to make yourself comfortable: rules, How-Tos, who to contact when you have questions or when you have ideas to make this new home even better.

Hay Day Game Play
All your discussions about Hay Day happen here, in various boards. For the ease of building community knowledge, a new area is dedicated to Community guides so that valuable info won't be buried in pages of discussion. May this place be filled with best of the best!

Off the Farm
Feel free to share your adventures with the rest of us, when you are not farming. It takes a farmer to know a farmer around here.

Introducing the DASHBOARD
"Forum is outdated", you heard that before? We don't quite agree. Not only a forum has the appropriate format for discussion, it could be a better place with tools that help Farmers stay informed.

Visit your Dashboard from the Navigation menu for:
- real-time information of Hay Day on twitter (maintenance break, next week events, derby announcement, decoration sales...).
- timezone converter from UTC time to your own local time
- links to various Hay Day related communities

and more to come.

Reach out to Just Hay Day Staff
Forum Staff quietly watch and work behind the scenes to keep things tidy and organised. It takes a little time to adjust to this new forum. Despite all the guides and how-to in place, if you absolutely need to contact us, drop any of us a Private Message from our profile.
See Contact Just Hay Day Staff.

Request Desktop version
Our forum is best view in Desktop format, even on mobile or tablet. You can either:
- switch between Mobile/Desktop views via link at the bottom of the page
- request Desktop site in your browser settings. How to for Safari (iOS) or Chrome (Android)

Bookmark the page in your browser of add it to the home screen of your mobile device :heart:

.

Once you are ready to start, Come say Howdy, Here!

Now let's have a look at your profile and what you are sharing without even knowing :smirk:

What you type in Signature box	How it's looked on forum

striked: `[s]text[/s]`	~~text~~
italic: `[i]text[/i]`	text
underline: `[u]text[/u]`	text
in color with HEX code: `[font color="e16416"]text[/font]`	text
in bigger size: `[font size="5"]text[/font]`	text
hyperlink with text: `[a href="https://justhayday.boards.net/"]text[/a]`	text
an image from it direct link: `[img src="https://i.imgur.com/C4baLm0t.png" alt="Frog"]`
Mix and match: `[font size="5"][font color="16e125"][b][u]Frog[/u][/b][/font][/font]`	Frog

Mix and match to customize signature. You can for example drafting a post (like when attempting to reply to a thread but not submit it), use the Preview tab to format then switch to BBCode to get the code needed, paste it to the Signature box.

Some board is read-only or some thread could be locked, which means member cannot create new thread nor reply to existing thread. In other cases, follow these steps to post:

First, Enable Draft saving (link) from your profile, you might find it helpful.
