I've attempted to create a welcome thread, but following the link to it after it's created yields a 404, and trying to create another one yields an error page.
I'm pretty Rails console savvy (I'm an engineer by day). How can I debug this?

Hey @mshappe, thanks for asking this question. Can you tell us a little more about how you're making your welcome thread and your installation of Forem please?
Heya just seen this, I had a similar issue and remember it had something to do with the user ID of the welcome thread, did u get it fixed?
This problem looks like from 2022 but still happened to me.
Looks like the problem was the generated link for the welcome thread has no "preview" parameter. I accidentally found the post for the welcome thread with this link in my forem instance
https://www.gimid.dev/igrir/welcome-thread-v0-2kk9-temp-slug-302430?preview=286b332ab23b3ccd8db884c3270a13357e14336fd82ce7906694ea726c002642d0035dcc2894b725a80acd1f6364cf43f8ff4f255cf57815a3769da9as you can see there's
preview=xxxparameter, but instead the link for the thread is only thishttps://www.gimid.dev/igrir/welcome-thread-v0-2kk9-temp-slug-302430and it can't be accessible
Looks like I found the workaround. Here's how it's done:
published: false. Change it to trueYup, the
temp-slugandpreviewstuff are because the post is not published.Btw, there are two styles of editor, one with this basic yml style which can be used in some cases as simpler to automate, but users will see the more graphical, interactive version.
