How to post in the discussions

Hi,
Haven't been to the Vanilla forums since 1.1.10.
I'd like to post a question in Vanilla 3.0 Help, but I only seem able to post to this category, Community Addons, Localization and Feedback.
Are the other discussion categories restricted?
I would like to know how to import attachments into Vanilla3.0 using Porter (or any other method)/
Regards,

Seems a little permission mismatch happened when the new category was made.
There's no permission bug, just a UI inconvenience
The "New Discussion" button in a category has the category in the slug. If you press that same button from an overview (or edit the url and reload that page) you get the category dropdown.
It is not the cat drop down, it is in the category (viewing it)
"New discussion" Button is not shown for

You should not need to import / use porter if it from vanilla forums to vanilla forums - to my understanding.
I had mirrored the 2.x category permissions for 3.x but that didn’t let normal members post there.
I’ve loosened the permissions there a bit now.

Hi,
Thanks for your contributions regarding the posting permissions. Looks to be working now.
@Kaspar I am still looking at how to manage the upgrade from 1.x to 3.x
Oh boy that's a big jump. Do you have your own thread for it? If not I'd recommend starting one.
