Discussion about this forum, its organization, and things which don’t fit in another category

Why can’t I post a new topic? I even went through the tutorial bot…

Hi Simon, I’m sorry to hear this.
Actually, you should be able to create a new topic.
But you are not the first who overlooked the “New Topic”-button.

When you are on the forum start page, you have the button in the upper-right.

When you are already in a category the button is at a bit lower position.

Heya, sorry for the slow reply, thanks!
For me this button doesn’t exist:

and

I recently learned that this button only shows up after you have read some threads and topics.
So, if you spent some time in the forum, they should become visible.

Hello, I wonder how much time I have to spend in the forum until I can post an issue. Not being able to post is very annoying/frustrating/irritating/driving me mad.

I understand why you do this (for avoiding spam, I suppose), but this is time-killing for me - I spend more than 30 min in different parts of the forum, clicking on random posts and hoping that at one point, I will be able to post myself. Being a sysadmin, I am not interested in most of the topics discussed here, I just need help in running snap.

Dear @Andreas,

Your current trust level should allow you to create a new topic. Can you check if the New topic button is now available?

Yes, shortly after my complaint my trust level was increased so that I could post my issue.
