It would be better to present the user with a page that explains the options for asking question and that the user need an account to ask on the website if that is the case. Also info about IRC could be put on the page." scootergrisen wrote: "Go to Inkscape help menu and select Ask a question.

We can change the target of the redirect any time when we have found a better place for users to go to (e.g. a forum). For users of older Inkscape versions, this problem cannot be solved without launchpad developers adding at least an option to add some text, or even better, the planned option to add a redirect.
