I have signed up to use the community forum, but I am totally confused as to how to post a question. I keep getting messages from a bot asking me to do things and I try to comply but I must be misunderstanding. I have never encountered a forum like this before. Can you tell what I am doing wrong?
Thank you. I will do that. But I do not see any means to create a new post. Is there a waiting period before I can post questions?
No. But you have to have to be logged in and be in a category that allows users to post. Like “Help”
Some categories (like “Announcements” only allow admins to post)
And it is possible that starting the tutorial put you in a special “sandbox” mode. It does that so you can do its lesson exercises without actually posting.
I did click help which is how I created my original question to you. But all I can do is reply to an existing question. I don’t see a new post option which would allow me to ask a question about reports. I don’t see what I am missing. I very sorry to trouble you.
I just turned off the new user tips in your account preferences and boosted your account out of “new” status. That should help
Thank you. I believe I have successfully posted my question under Help.
Yes, you have successfully created a new thread in Help
Sorry to be pedantic but… your 1st post was a “reply” to the existing Video Tutorials thread. That was the wrong place for a question about using Discourse. So it was moved to a new thread in Feedback.
