Hey I'd like to change the text coming from field `new_user_tips` which is used when a new user joins [discuss.elastic.co](http://discuss.elastic.co).

I like it. Unformatted code examples are the most common problem I see. I might go so far as to say "use the preview box when posting to make sure that you code examples have indentation preserved." ---

So I updated the original text with your proposal @nik9000. Anyone knows how we can set this field `new_user_tips`. I can see that [it's used in email template](https://discuss.elastic.co/admin/customize/email_templates/system_messages.welcome_user) but can't see where we can define it. ---

Ping. Anyone @system could help? ---

Have you tried looking at at `/admin/customize/site_texts?overridden=false&q=tips` ? ---

Thanks @Sam_Saffron. It gives: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/c/c237670b8326829f719e85af7fe5abecf1c741e7.png) Can't see here this `new_user_tips` field. Am I missing something? ---

I think it is simply usage\_tips you have highlighted, simple way to confirm is to search for text in the user tips is should find the correct string to override. ---

Actually I don't know if there is any user tips defined today. So can't really search for this content. I'm a bit confused here. Where is that `new_user_tips` is coming from? It has been defined in the email template. Anyone knows who defined this template? Is it a default discourse setting? ---

Sorry for the delays here, and sorry its taking so long to sort out. Can you paste here the current text, and the exact text you are trying to change it to. I will sort it out and let you know what I did. cc @system ---

Hi Sam So basically, I want to modify the content of the email template when a new user joins: [https://discuss.elastic.co/admin/customize/email\_templates/system\_messages.welcome\_user](https://discuss.elastic.co/admin/customize/email_templates/system_messages.welcome_user) Today, this template contains: ```auto Thanks for joining %{site_name}, and welcome! %{new_user_tips} We believe in [civilized community behavior](%{base_url}/guidelines) at all times. Enjoy your stay! (If you need to communicate with [staff members](%{base_url}/about) as a new user, just reply to this message.) ``` As you can see, a field named `new_user_tips` is mentioned here. Obviously I can manually edit the template and put my text in it, but I imagine that if this `%{new_user_tips}` is here for good reasons, right? Let me know if I should replace manually in the email template or define somewhere this field `new_user_tips`. Whatever, I'd like that we send a welcome email which contains: > Thanks for joining %{site\_name}, and welcome! > %{new\_user\_tips} > If you have any trouble, please tell us as many information as possible like your technical environment, sizing, architecture, nodes... > Providing a script to reproduce locally is definitely helping a lot to get quicker and more accurate responses. > Please format your code using `` icon and produce full scripts like this one: > ```auto > DELETE index > PUT index/type/1 > { > "foo": "bar" > } > GET index/type/_search > { > "query": { > "match": { > "foo": "bar" > } > } > } > > ``` > **Use the preview box** when posting to make sure that you code examples have indentation preserved. > Also **be patient** when waiting for an answer to your questions.

I searched for the word "traditional" which appears in the new user tips, in Admin, Customize, Text Content and I found it under system\_messages.usage\_tips.text\_body\_template Screenshot attached.... I hope that helps! [image: pasted1] ---
