How do I ask a question or post a discussion?
The easiest way to ask a question of the community is to simply type your question in the Search bar, located in the top right of any Equinix Community page. You might find that another community member has already asked and answered your question. Start a new discussion if you don't find what you are looking for. How do I post a new discussion? 1. Make sure you are logged into the Community 2. Navigate to the discussion page and start a discussion by clicking on the "Start a Discussion" button in the center of the page. 3. To create a new discussion, you'll need to enter required fields such as: Title: Try to keep this short and direct so that other users will understand what you are asking or posting Body: This is where you'll want to provide as many details as you can in your question or discussion. Tags: Apply any additional tags that you think might help describe the question/discussion for other users to find it. We have pre-defined tags but you can also add your own. 3. Once you are ready, select the "Publish" button on the bottom right of discussion.Like or Dislike? Share your feedback on the Community changes!

What are the different types of Groups?
Groups are divided into three categories -- public, private, and hidden. Public Groups can be joined and read by any user regardless of role, rank, or sign-in status. Private Groups can only be read by members of the Group. To join a private Group, click on the Group and select the button to request membership. Membership is controlled by the Group's moderator. Hidden Groups can only be read and accessed by members of the Group, who are manually managed by the Group's administrator. In all cases, posting content to a Group is contingent upon being a member of that Group.What is a Group and how do I join?
Groups are a new tool here on the Equinix Community. Groups contain targeted discussions about a particular topic or subject. In order to join a Group, you must first determine if the group is public, private, or hidden. To join a public Group, such as the Accessibility Improvements Group, click on the group and click the "Join Group" button. To join a private Group, click on the Group with the "closed" designation, and click the "Send Request to Join" button. If you are aware of a hidden Group, you must contact the Group's owner or a Community administrator to be added manually. In any of the Group types, you must be a member in order to post to that Group.Community Update: Scheduled Maintenance July 31, 2024
