Excuse me for dropping in here, but how do you create a new topic in this forum? I finally found I can open a page for a new thread by clicking on the pencil symbol in the top-right corner, but the site won't allow me to post my question. It just gives me a message saying "You are not allowed to create or update this content." What the hell?

Glitcher,

It is in the Actions dropdown, to the far right in the dark grey bar.

Uh... no, it isn't. When I click on "Action", the drop down menu only shows "More" (greyed out) and RSS feeds. No new topic.

Glitcher,

That is strange: it works for me, and I see none of the other (non) options you mention.

And the large waste of space to the left has Start a Discussion as the only thing at the top (I have overlooked it until now because of my choosing to ignore the waste of space).

Edit: Have you ticked the Content tab (and the Discussion tab, and preferably the Detail tab to get to the list of threads?

In that view there is the waste of space with Start a Discussion.

Looking into the Overview, I can see that the one to the top left works the same way (for me).

And I can see that they have the Ask a Question code for Search there; wondered where that had gone.

And the Top Participants.

I don't see "Start a Discussion" anywhere on the forum page. The only tabs on the same bar as the Actions button are Overview, Content, People and Sub-communities. None of these allow me to post a new topic.
