Hi, pleasure to have you with us!
There are a few restrictions to creating topics, outlined below.
The forum uses this thing called “Trust Levels.” This basically a way so that new members don’t “hurt” themselves as they learn the forum and the features that come with it. To create a topic, you must be at Trust Level 1. There is more info here: Trust Levels and How To Advance
Achieving Trust Level One is easy. The criteria is:
- Enter 5 Topics
- Read 5 Posts
- Spend at least 15 minutes reading posts on the forums
Once you meet that criteria you will receive a system message that you have been bumped up to TL1
You can also look here for more details on why you cannot make a topic: Why Can't I Create a Topic?
See you in the skies!
