Hi, I want to create an in-line link for the words “start a new discussion” (and so on). When a member clicks on the link, they will have a new topic opened and a pre-selected category in our community.
1 - Is this possible?
2 - What are the ‘rules’ for configuring that link so it opens for the member a new topic with a pre-selected category?
