Newbie to forum wanting to ask questions

Hello,
I am brand new to the forum, and I am a returning user. Just joined recently, my question is when can I post questions? I have tried to start new thread, but all I get is the red round circle with a line through it.

You are in a new thread??? :wink:

Yes but can not start one where I want, I am thinking after I post somewhere/here I can start asking questions

Yes, but he is right about the “No Entry” sign when trying to use the Start New Thread button is showing when I try & use it too.

This forum is not the most user friendly to navigate or post on, compared to every other one I use.
It needs a proper content list and menu.

Anyhoo - you can always ask here.

I agree about user friendly. This forum has so many buttons and widgets compared to most.

I think I was trying to post in the 3 sections up top that are what I call Sticky’s, or just there to read only. give me time I will figure it out, LOL. maybe

Yeah, stickys may well be locked.

From what I can gather, you have to drill right down to an individual topic before the “New Post” button becomes available. It is a truly awful forum to navigate.

EG the tags Community /All won’t let you create one, but Community/General Discussion & Feedback will allow it

Hi there,

You can post in any subcategory except for #community:news-and-announcements and #self-service:resolved-bugs. Each category has a specific purpose, so try to post in the correct place, if you do end up in the wrong category, we can always move it later :wink:

One other thing, you probably can’t post in top level categories such as ‘Community’, ‘Flying’ or ‘Aircraft’. You should be posting in the subcategories.

Edit: I am not sure if you can post in #guides.

There is a tier system as to what one can do in the forum. But you should now be able to click new topic and get going anytime you want to ask something.

Were you able to solve your problem?

I am understanding more, I am just older, LOL
