Hi,

I can’t seem to create new topic. It just turn into blank space without any actionable feature whenever I chose post category, both before and after I typed in my question.

I’m wondering what should I do to be able to post? Am I missing some steps here?

Regards,

PW

Hi @PW1994 👋

Thanks so much for flagging this. You’re right, there is some kind of bug. I’ve disabled the topic templates so you should be able to post now 🙂
