With the experience of getting more and more stubborn spammers in the old forum, the new user permissions are a bit restrictive here for now.

So as a new user you:

- are not allowed to create new topics
- can reply, but moderated, means your reply has to be approved by a moderator
- can not send personal messages to other users
- can not use the [Chat](https://discourse.librecad.org/t/chat-feature/29)

The common way to reach a trust level, where you can create and reply to topics without moderation, is to hang around here, reading different topics and posts.  
Because this will be a bit hard for the beginning, with such little content, **you can reply to this post** and ask for a higher trust level. If your profile and reply are okay, a moderator can change your trust level manually.  
You already had an account in the old forum? Fine, in your reply add a link to your profile there and we can set your trust level to what you deserve.

Good morning,  
I’m introducing myself even though I was already registered on the old forum.  
I’m an elderly Italian modeler and I often use LibreCAD for my model drawings.  
Thanks for the information on this forum

I appreciate access to a help forum, having used them for a range of Linux distros and applications.  
I’ve just started with Librecad using it to model projects for Woodturning. Inevitably, one hits a snag. If there’s a more appropriate user forum, please just let me know.  
I’m not after someone to hold my hand, just solutions for problems that are outstanding because I haven’t found anything via Search.

Can I have a higher trust level so I can post about an issue with my saved file and auto saved file not saving the current state of my drawing. I spend many hours on a drawing only to find that when I shut down LibreCAD then restarted and reloaded my file all of my work was lost. Very frustrating. MacOS.
