Discord

In 2023 we began the migration from Slack to Discord! This was discussed in a number of members meetings, but the main reason for doing it was due to the 3 month message expiry on Slack. Discord is free, although you can upgrade your own profile for extra features if you want to. You can join Discord by following this link https://discord.gg/zx8Dc6Y32E However, you won't be able to access any of the main channels until you link your HMS account.

Linking your HMS Account

1. Join the discord at the following link ...
2. Login to HMS https://hms.nottinghack.org.uk
   1. Click on your username towards the upper right and then select Update Details
   2. Click Edit towards the bottom of the page
   3. Fill in your Discord username - this can be in either username#discriminator or just username format
   4. Click Update
3. if you need to change your display name, click 'show member list', scroll down until you find yourself, right click and pick 'Edit Server Profile' and change your Server Nickname.

Once your profile is saved, you will receive a message on Discord from Nottinghack Bot. This is just to let you know that your account has been linked. You should also notice channels appearing on the left side bar. If you don't, verify that your username is correct in HMS. If it still doesn't work, post in the public channel.
