First, please review the notes on requesting help:
To assist with finding information, we break problems down into smaller bits, so if your posts are showing up as expected, please mark this topic as solved; it will help folks searching in the future.
Then, if you have another question, please start a new topic. However! Before you jump on that, please search our forums for tips on hosting with GitLab. It is a common use case, and many folks have discussed and solved issues around it.
Finally, the 2 link limit is to prevent spammers from creating accounts and posting a bunch of links. Using the forums for a couple of days will remove those limitations.
