How do I submit a post to the Ask HN section of the Hacker News website?

Question

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?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Just click on Submit --> http://news.ycombinator.com/submit

Answer 3

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.
