[WOLFMAN1]

how to post threads is my problem. i have plenty of questions of my own to ask i just needed to know where to start a thread.

1. Click on the FORUM in the bar at the top of the page.

2. Select an appropriate FORUM from those shown for the TOPIC you want to address.

3. Click NEW THREAD.

4. Enter a Thread Title.

5. then WAIT while the site checks the archives for similar threads that might be applicable. If there IS A THREAD ALREADY, don't start a new one, but GO READ what's already out there, and then, if necessary either add to the existing thread or go ahead and start a new one.

Hope this helps... the steps are from memory and the button names might not be exact, but you'll figure it out.

ADDED NOTE...

Building upon existing Threads has one GREAT advantage.... the thread already has a pool of subscribed members who will immediately "hear" your questions/comments. Whereas, starting a new Thread depends on folks checking the NEW THREADS list to see if there's anything of interest being stirred up.

Looks like you started this one so you should be good to go.

thanks cold warrior

i tried what you said to do, it took me back to the log window. i had to re log back in. don't make sense. it didn't let me post a new thread anyway. is my parameters messed up or do the site mangers have to give permission to post new threads? when i try to open a new attachment, i also have to re log back in. after doing that, sometimes it let me look at some of the attachments, but not all the attachments, weird setup.

i notice that when you sign in. click the the white box beside your name and it seem to allow you to post new treads. it allows you to look at the all posted pics that everyone posts with no problem. try that and see how that work for you.
