I was hoping you could explain to me how I can post a new thread please?

Sorry to annoy you again but I must have deleted the introduction email you sent me when I registered after I logged in.

Cheers

I can insert threads when inserting links. How do you insert posts. In other words, just seperate posts in a thread?

That one had me beat until it was explained to me also.

Click on the number of the post in the right hand corner.

A new window will open.

Copy the link, then paste the link.

Done.

First view this graphical guide to the forum:

The guide is based on an old version of the layout, but it is still basically correct and useful. Cheers.
