As you all know we are in the process of redesigning and reformatting the TE portal which was just serving as a forum dashboard earlier. The forums are now integrated with the portal in terms of user base. So you can directly post your articles on the portal. It gives you the freedom to work on your articles as drafts before submitting for review. It even has more powerful options to format your articles better.
Follow this simple guide to post your articles from now on:
Open TE home page
If you are already logged in to the forum, you will be shown as logged in to the portal as well
This is your dashboard. On the right you can quickly add a post and save it as draft or for review
When on the new page follow these steps
Scroll down to the bottom of the page
You will now be taken to the top of the page where it says, draft updated.
Go back to the draft article tab and scroll down to the bottom of the page
