The Post installation forum is the first place to go for support by the Drupal community after you've successfully installed your Drupal website.
The forum is looked after by gisle and some other site moderators. We keep an active eye on this forum (mainly to delete spam), but feel free to contact us through the site moderators issue queue if you have any questions or concerns.
Before posting here, you must read How to ask for support from the Drupal community. Below are some additional tips for this forum that will help you get replies to your support questions and prevent your posting from being deleted as spam.
-
Search before posting. #
If the problem can be tied to a specific project, try searching the project’s bug reports first. You should also search the Drupal.org documentation. Try also to search using external search engines (e.g. Bing and Google), and external resources such as Drupal.StackExchange.
-
Use descriptive and specific titles. #
The Post installation forum is very active. Experienced community members check the tracker page and scan the titles. They prioritize how they may use their limited time by offering support if they see a title that identify a problem where they can provide support. So a title such as "Error X in installation of Y" or "How do I enable role based view access on a Drupal 8 website" is more likely to attract someone who can assist with your problem than screaming "HELP!!!!".

When reporting an error, provide relevant details. #
Before someone may be able to assist you with fixing an error, they may need to know the Drupal version number, the modules you enabled that triggered the error, and their version, the hosting environment, the text of specific error generated, and other relevant information. You should also provide enough context for the information to be useful. Explain what it is you try to do, what you expected to happen, and what happened. Also describe what you've tried to do to fix the error.

Links to external websites are deprecated. #
Please do not post a link to your own, or any other external website when posting in this forum unless there is very good reason. First: Linkrot is a real problem. Websites change over time and may be taken down. When this happens, the information pointed to by the link is no longer available. Always provide enough context to make your posting useful without the link. Second: Some links are spam. Our spam-filter is wary about links, and will automatically unpublish your post if it detects a spam-link. Posts containing gratuitous external links or plain text mentions of products or third party websites where the item is unrelated to the post, or where an helpful answer cannot be given, will always be redacted or deleted. If your post is identified as spam, you may also be blocked from posting on this site.
However, since you cannot upload images to this forum: If you need an image to illustrate your post, you can upload it to another site, and link to the image in your forum post.

Do not ask about converting your existing website to Drupal here. #
If you want to convert your existing website to Drupal, this not the right place to ask. First read the posting tips for converting to Drupal and the documentation about converting to Drupal. If your question is not answered there, please post it in the forum for Converting to Drupal. Questions about converting an existing website to Drupal in this forum will be summarily deleted.
