I'm sure I'm missing something simple here, but I can't figure out how to submit a question to the Ask HN section of the Hacker News website. How do I do this?

  1. Click the submit link at the top of the page.
  2. Log in, if necessary.
  3. Fill out the form.

Note to start an "Ask HN:" discussion, you must fill out the form in a special way:

  1. Start title with "Ask HN:"
  2. Enter your question as the rest of the title field.
  3. Leave the URL field blank.
  4. Optionally put a more detailed explanation of your question in the text field. This will appear at the top if someone views your submission.

It's worth pointing out that Hacker News doesn't have any "sections" per se. It's just something that people put at the front of the subject.
