Ask HN: How do I post something in the "ask" section?

from the ask-hn dept.

There is something very obvious that I am missing here. But how exactly do I post a question or a discussion here, so that it comes up the in the Ask section? I know this is a silly question, and trust me, I spent a good 10 minutes on Google looking for answers.

You just did. Simply prefix your question with "Ask HN"

That's what I thought. But it didn't work. For example, this very topic never came up in the ask section. I have tried it a few times before too. And there are other topics in the ask section which are not prefixed with this. http://news.ycombinator.net/item?id=1395561 http://news.ycombinator.net/item?id=1396900 http://news.ycombinator.net/item?id=1397003 http://news.ycombinator.net/item?id=1396876
