No notice of community selection failure

I was just trying to post over on the PBE board, and I could not figure out why it wouldn't let me go. I reloaded the page, cleared attachments, etc. Finally after about 10 min, I figured out that I had failed to select a community . There was 0 notice about this. I could have wandered around the page for another 20 min and not noticed. If this is going to block the submission, there needs to be something to tell the user that they need to pick something. located below the preview as it is, it is super easy to miss.

Ahhh, here we go I was testing it, so basically if your browsing a sub com then itll auto set your community your sending the discussion to, but from the main page it won't. And since the screen doesn't point it out its quite hard to find the fix the first time you post.

Changing the blue text to red if they miss it seems like the easiest solution. +1

Rito please where is random button

If you don't pick a community, there is a message next to the community selection area that appears saying "Please select a community". Did you not see this message? We could probably do a better job at calling out the message.
