Havig just installed the latest studio I've been trying for half an hour to get a forum membership going with a view to straightening out several deal-breaking issues with my new system* (one of 7 on my computer). I have never come across a more confusing web site or distribution  I did find a 2006 related post but consider that too old.

I find a total lack of predictability; having signed up to Ubuntu-One (only because I could not sign up for just a forum) when I get into this no-less confusing forums page I see my user name with an aded 2! If I wanted my FORUM user name to end with a 2 I would have chosen such a name.

I cannot post from my new system beacause trying to start Firefox I get this:
$ firefox
2022/08/20 18:40:28.856009 cmd_run.go:614: WARNING: XAUTHORITY environment value is not a clean path: "/0/dx/homes/UbSu3/.Xauthority"
cannot create user data directory: /home/u3/snap/firefox/1670: Not a directory

On ALL my OTHER systems (Suse Leap, Artix, Devuan, Slackware, Suse Tumbleweed, AvLinux) my user 'home' is a link to a folder on another drive. Can this be fixed or not, and if yes how? Modern forums (and there aha=gain I'm a member in about 50) allow members to be emailed without the emailer knowing the email address. If such is the case here then by all means feel free to email me because I have no idea if or how I will revisit this page.

Absolutely fuming, but TIA
