I am unable to post a new topic to the discussions forum. Is there any issue with this or is there any issue with my credentials to be able to post?
@MadhukarGundamaraju Go to Categories > then navigate to the Sub-category you want to post then . then you will see this +New Topic button
I sometimes have issues with getting the new post button to appear. Sometimes, I have to reload the page to get the new post button to appear (or for my new post window to appear, even if I already hit the button). It also only appears once you are inside of a category to which you can post.
For example, I’m not a Commissioner, so I can’t post or respond in the BSA Commissioners forum (although I’m a regular lurker there). However, if I go into Scouting Forums → Scoutbook → Scoutbook Bugs, the New Topic button pops up.
I often have to go to the category, hit new, then open an existing post and I get the new thread box. Crazy.
Hello folks, thanks for your help. I tried the approach suggested and don’t see the + New topic being enabled.
@MadhukarGundamaraju I see the “+ New Topic” button in the picture that you posted (right side under the green “M”).
Does it not do anything when you click on it?
What browser are you using?
Have tried this with Safari, Firefox and Chrome.
Yes, I followed his comments and tried that also. It still shows up in a disabled state.
My opinion is this is way more difficult than it should be!
There has always in my experience been a delay in the response of the new topic button. This is perhaps something that discourse would need to address.
How about a category drop down box and a send button?
I don’t think it needs to be redesigned. I think it needs to just function as designed. It hasn’t.
And it is discourse and the BSA is a client so it goes back to discourse for a fix or a best practice doc.
It NEVER does for me. I then have to click on an existing topic and then a new blank topic opens up. All browsers except in the iPhone. It never opens up.
