# _# **Get Answers to Your Kijiji Questions** _ The Kijiji Community forums now include **Discourse AI** , a powerful built-in tool that lets you chat directly with the KJ AI to find answers without needing to create a public thread. The AI reads all public posts on that specific forum, meaning it can summarize long discussions, find exact troubleshooting steps, or explain site rules instantly. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to open a chat and talk with the forum’s AI assistant. ### Step 1: Open the AI “Chat” Interface ![Screenshot 2026-06-18 at 12.28.21 PM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/kijiji/original/1X/620a6a1882b75ac27e7aa7468ebbd2e200060821.png) ### Step 2: Start a Conversation Once you open the chat pane or navigate to the AI section: ### Step 3: Type Your Question and Send Type your question naturally, just like you would to a human. For the best results, mention specific keywords related to the forum’s niche. - _Example:_ “What are some tips for buying and selling safely?” - _Example:_ “I can’t find my ad?” Press **`Enter`** or click the send arrow. The AI will scan the forum database and reply to you in real-time right within the chat window. ![Screenshot 2026-06-18 at 12.39.37 PM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/kijiji/original/1X/b354596132977163977dcef9bb4367b9825b0b25.png) # _# **How to Ask a Question in the Kijiji Community:** _ ### Step 1: Navigate to the Home Page or a Category Before posting, it is best practice to navigate to the specific **Category** (e.g., _General Discussion_, _Tech Support_) where your post fits best. This keeps the forum organized. ![Screenshot 2026-06-18 at 11.56.10 AM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/kijiji/original/1X/dae28ba24227a95921c0d1b15aa569f4468258f2.png) ### Step 2: Click the “New Topic” Button Look toward the top-right corner of the forum interface, just below the main navigation bar. You will see a button labeled **`+ New Topic`**. > 💡 **Note:** If you don’t see this button, make sure you are logged in. Some forums also require you to read a few posts before you gain permission to create a new topic (this is part of Discourse’s automatic “Trust Level” system). ![Screenshot 2026-06-18 at 11.52.51 AM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/kijiji/original/1X/ce8d4b7b6f76a2401369a275179eb105a6e4e92a.png) ### Step 3: Enter Your Title and Select a Category Once you click the button, a composer window will slide up from the bottom of your screen. 1. **Type a clear title:** Make it descriptive so other users know exactly what your post is about. 2. **Select/Confirm the Category:** Click the category dropdown menu to place your post in the right section. 3. **Add Tags (Optional):** If the forum uses tags, you can add keywords to help people find your post. ### Step 4: Write Your Post Type your message into the large text box on the left side of the composer. - **The Left Pane** is where you type and format your text. - **The Right Pane** is a live preview. It shows exactly what your post will look like to everyone else once published. You can use the toolbar at the top of the text box to bold text, insert links, add bullet points, or upload images. ### Step 5: Click “Create Topic” Once you are happy with how your post looks in the live preview pane, simply click the blue **`Create Topic`** button at the bottom-left of the composer. Your topic is now live, and other community members can begin replying to it! ![Screenshot 2026-06-18 at 11.58.06 AM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/kijiji/original/1X/f8f3bec56c8453dafb73112630de5dc2ab080227.png) # _# **How to Respond to a Question:** _ ### Step 1: Open the Topic and Choose How to Reply When you are reading a discussion thread, you have two ways to respond depending on who you want to answer: - **To reply to the whole conversation:** Scroll to the very bottom of the page and click the large blue **`Reply`** button. ![Screenshot 2026-06-18 at 12.19.28 PM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/kijiji/original/1X/65fca2b2810003ffa2ad9fb12427a90c19734560.png) - **To reply to a specific person:** Click the smaller grey **`Reply`** button located directly at the bottom-right of that specific user’s post. This links your answer directly to theirs. Note: for level one, new users this option might be hiden/not available. ![Screenshot 2026-06-18 at 12.21.35 PM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/kijiji/original/1X/f6c854f8786c8ae7349ca814ffd3f3e69234aed6.png) ### Step 2: Write Your Response in the Composer Clicking reply will open the post composer at the bottom of your screen. - **Quote someone (Optional):** If you want to quote a specific sentence from another user, highlight their text with your mouse. A **`Quote`** button will pop up over the text. Click it, and it will instantly drop that text into your composer box. - **Draft your reply:** Type your answer in the left pane. Keep an eye on the right pane to preview how your links, formatting, or bullet points will look. ### Step 3: Click “Reply” to Publish Once you are done typing and checking your live preview, click the blue **`Reply`** button at the bottom-left of the composer window to post your response live. ![Screenshot 2026-06-18 at 12.23.20 PM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/kijiji/original/1X/d3acf88215cb07ba1430d8b2cb40603a2173f743.png)
