Welcome to Viki’s Community Discussions! Here’s a helpful guide to get you started. 
This is a place for community members to hang out & make new friends – a place to talk about anything from your favorite shows and actors to providing constructive feedback to our product features, or to connect with people who speak the same language as you. We post a monthly update and advise joining our community newsletter for the latest information.
While you are here, we would like you to keep these things in mind while participating
- Follow the Discussion Guidelines & Community Guidelines to ensure everyone has a pleasant and safe experience.
- This is a community discussion forum, feel free to ask others in the forum for help.
- Do you need help? Please use our help center to find articles to assist you or write to Viki directly if you are in need of support.
- Most importantly, have fun!
Follow the 5 main points below to help you use the discussion forum.
1. New member restrictions
For spam prevention reasons, new community members aren’t able to create topics in discussions until they have spent some time hanging out and reading posts. As a new user, you can contribute to existing topics though.
2. Browse through categories.
There are two ways to search through the categories:
- Select the “Categories” drop-down in the upper-right hand corner to view the eight main “parent” categories
- Selecting the “Categories” tab at the top of the Discussions homepage to view all of our forums in one place, including both categories and their subcategories.
Find some categories you’re interested in, like Subtitling, Español, or Taiwanese Dramas!
3. Comment on a Topic
Click on the blue Reply button below a topic to participate in the discussion. Play around with the formatting options, like in this example below. Your editing space is on the left side, while the right side will show a preview of your post.
4. Like, Bookmark, Flag, and more
Below each reply is a set of buttons like these:
Click the heart to like a comment, the flag to mark a post as inappropriate, the chain share the direct link, and the red bookmark to save. If you’re looking at your own post, click the pencil to edit or trashcan to delete.
5. Create a Topic for discussion
When you’re ready to start your own discussion, click “Create Topic” in the upper right corner of the forums. Write a simple title and description, and don’t forget to choose a category. Note: Each topic may only have one category.
Making a topic, but it doesn’t fit in any of that forum’s the listed sub-categories? Create it in the larger “parent” category (just follow the same steps as listed above).
That’s it!! You’re ready to go! If you have any questions, feel free to contact the Help Center.
