Posting answers as a new user
I am a newcomer to http://ask.sagemath.org. I have found a question which I know how to answer but when I try to submit the page simply refreshes. I am guessing this has something to do with having low karma but am unsure how to increase my karma since I do not have any questions at this time. I found a similar unreplied to question (to which I apparently cannot link because my karma is insufficient?) on askbot but the solution there of adding a comment first does not work for me. Any ideas on how to fix this are appreciated.
This is fixed now that someone up-voted this post. Therefore it appears that you need at least 10 karma to answer a question. I think this is something that should be fixed.
I think you can answer but it just takes a while to get answers approved by new users. We do indeed have a nontrivial amount of spam, unfortunately.
Is there some indication that an answer has been submitted and is up for approval? I did not receive such a notice. I think seeing that would have comforted me.
That's a good idea! I don't think we could implement that separately from the folks at http://askbot.org/en/questions/ but it's worth asking about there?
