Ok, you know how to reply to a thread, how about starting a new one? You've seen from this thread (how to post a reply), how to expand the sub-forums and get to the threads. The first thing you need to decide is WHERE to post your new thread. Below, I'm going to post a new thread about an upcoming car show:

Updated for new forum software

  1. CarShowExample2_zpsprhakpbh.png
    Three places to start
    1. From the forum list, click on the button "Post Thread", you will then select the forum section you want to post in
    2. If you happen to be in the correct forum, you will also see a "Post Thread" button
  2. The post editor will open, add your subject and content
  3. If you happen to be viewing a list of threads in a particular area, you will see blank line at the top with the title "Thread title" If you start typing in that box, you are filling in the Subject line of a new post and the editor box will automatically drop down.

Remember-Please stay on topic. Create your own thread when changing the subject - be courteous to your fellow member.
