I have been trying for two hours to find a way to post a new thread / question. I cannot find any button to let me do it. Please email me a link DIRECTLY TO THE MAKE NEW THREAD BUTTON, please. I don't understand why you hide it...!

Forum technology has existed for 20 years, so I'm baffled that this even needs to be explained. :ohmy:

Forums are a collection of "threaded" conversations, usually organized into further sub-forums. This post, in this thread, is in the General Discussion forum.

Most common mistakes:
- You cannot ask a question on the forum index.
- You must login first.

Final thought:

What really irritates me is the constant accusation that we hide the new post/thread button.

Just because you cannot find something doesn't mean that it's been hidden. :wink2:

Why do almost all "Help me Obiwan, I can't find the new post button!" emails come with ridiculous accusations that we're secretly Darth Vader or the Emperor nefariously hiding things? I don't get it.
