Please, please tell us you will migrate the old forums (or you will keep them in read-only) because **that is a huge knowledge base** , especially for plugin developers 🙏

Thank you

Welcome, @daniele_athome! And thanks for asking – that’s a good question indeed.

We plan to keep the old forum in a read-only mode. We have discussed transferring content to the new place, but it’s an overcomplicated process that still hasn’t yielded satisfying results.  
We’ll share more details with an official blog post later this week!

Is there a way of exiting the “new user” status? I can’t put more than one embedded media and more than 2 links (I wanted to give proper context to my questions, that means multiple links to GitHub and multiple screenshots).

Thanks

EDIT: ok, I think I just needed to be present in the forum and read topics, I now have trust level 1 🙂

Indeed, Discourse operates on “trust levels,” and by default, you start with “0”.
