There is a long thread in the Cafe section of the forum on the transition from Forum to Discourse. It reveals the work that needs to be done and the issues that have to be overcome.

It seems that on Discourse a person needs "credit." The moderators of Discourse give that credit when a person does certain things like Replying in a Topic (Thread). Some of the moderators on Ubuntu Forums have transitioned to be moderators on Ubuntu Discourse and they have been granting credit to Ubuntu Forum members as they transition to Discourse.

This section of Discourse might, I say might, give some information about using Ubuntu Discourse and it proceedures.

Not an Ubuntu support question; thread moved to Forum Feedback & Help which will have to do for problems using the Discourse site until this site is closed.

i got an error.
why?

What error? What did it say? The members of the forum are not clairvoyant. You need to give all relevant details if you want your why question answered.

Looks like you finally found the correct section of Discourse to post your question.
Well done.

It is unclear what you might mean by "isn't well"
If the Discourse website is down, simply wait a few minutes. It will come back up.
I think you have been around the community long enough to know where the other official community help venues are.

i've always used the forums..
what are the other venues?

See https://ubuntu.com/support#community
Official: Matrix, AskUbuntu. These communities, like UbuntuForums, use the Ubuntu Code of Conduct.
Unofficial: Discord, Reddit, Facebook, etc.

On Discourse, click-on categories then sub-categories desktop. From there you can create a topic once you've been granted trust level 1.

Clarification: We advise new folks to use the "Start here" link if they have a question: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/welco...and-help/49951

This will prevent the frustration of wandering the wrong paths into development and documentation categories that they cannot post in.
Only the Support and Help category permits posting by new users.
