Posting on Ubuntu Discourse

I went here.

I can not find how to post there. (Pain is 9 out of 10 right now.)

I would like to post a link to imgur without the picture showing up here.

How can I do that ?

I can not find where someone here showed me how to post. :slight_smile:

I got it figured out. :slight_smile:

Ubuntu's Discourse (formerly Ubuntu Community Hub but it's far broader now) is used by many parts of the wider Ubuntu community, and its a rather complex site as a result.

Ubuntu Forums now uses the Support Area, which is what you provided the link for, it has pretty easy permissions (fewer restrictions), but those only apply to that area.

You've used here awhile, so should be pretty familiar with Discourse trust levels; but I'll provide a link anyway (Understanding Discourse Trust Levels) but be aware anything you have on other Discourse sites (such as this site) won't apply there; you need to build up your own trust on that site by reading, etc. just as you did on this or other discourse sites.

If you step outside of the Support Area, your permissions will vary. They do for me too, eg. my username has moderator shield associated with it on probably all posts within this Ubuntu-MATE discourse; and whilst many of my posts on parts of Ubuntu Discourse will had the same moderator shield; that shield won't appear on all as I'm only a moderator on certain parts of the site.

The Support and Help site is more open having fewer restrictions in creating & replying to posts; but if you step outside of that area of the discourse; you enter parts of the site with different rules. The Ubuntu discourse is a much larger/broader site, with many different teams/groups using various portions of it, each with its own rules/moderators.

[ If not clear; the Ubuntu Discourse sees me as me in all areas; whilst stats (visits, read time etc) will apply to all, but permissions/authorities I've been given, including groups vary in what I can do in the various parts of the Ubuntu Discourse site ]

Thanks. I am trying to build trust.
