starting threads

Hi, I'm new here and trying to understand the layout, rules etc of the Forum. The FAQ doesn't have the question I want to ask (!):

How do you start new threads? Why do I not always have that option? I have started one in the test page but that doesn't invite discussion.

Am I missing something? Do I need more rights?

Thanks for any answers.
Missy
 
After you determine which area you think is best for your thread, go to that area and there's a light grey link that says New Thread just above the turquoise bar that has a line reading 'threads in forum'. You should have a title for your link. If you want to start a thread for a specific book or author, it's easier to do a search later if you put the author's name before the title in you thread heading, for ex. Charles Dickens-A Christmas Carol." It's also good form to do at least a rudimentary search to see if there isn't already one or more threads relating to your topic. Don't be afraid to bump an older thread; we do this all the time here and no one complains too loudly.
 
Can we assume that since you were able to start this thread, that you have now figured it out? ;)
 
LOL-Thanks for the good laugh abec. I won't make any comments about it being a Kansas thing.:p ;)

Ok, I'm blond !! ai85.photobucket.com_albums_k77_pauline0111_z_blondemoment.gif

Didn't realize I had to drill down further into the sub-forums. Just struck lucky when it worked under the FAQ one.
Oh well, thanks anyway - the bump tip is a good one, very practical too.
