Until you have 20 posts (happens quick enough) you can only make a thread in this Intro forum. After that, the boards are yours to post any thread in. The "New Thread" option will probably only be visible in this forum (Intro) until you have 20 posts. Hope it helps. And welcome!

Thank you! I use to be on here back in 2006 but I forgot my old log in :/

When the time comes, you need to go to the forum where you want to start your thread. The shortest way is to scan the Recent Posts page for a thread on a similar topic and click on it.
You will find an icon which says either New Thread or New Topic (depending on where you are). Click on that, and you will fnd yourself on an editing page and can start typing.
One word of warning. When you have typed your title, do not press Enter or similar key. Instead, click on the main box, as it advises you. Pressing Enter has the effect of posting the thread immediately, without waiting for the rest of your text.
Obviously you've managed to avoid that trap here, but newcomers and people in a hurry often fall into it.
