I cannot post a new topic/thread

Yeah, I know this seems kind of contradictory, given that I just created this thread, but I'm not sure why it worked here and not on the other sections of the forum. Elsewhere, when I click the "new topic" or "new thread" icons, it leads me to a blank screen, showing just the site's backdrop, some ads, and nothing else. What could be causing this? Does anyone else have this problem?



New members please note.

You need at least 20 posts to start your own thread....

Welcome to the forum by the way... you'll get those posts in no time

Ahh, I get it now. Thanks for the quick response. Somehow, the thought that it was a forum rule hadn't even entered my mind, I was certain it was a glitch.

Hopefully you managed to read the rest of the T&C because so many people don't and then complain when a post is removed.

Just in case.

Welcome btw!

Was wondering this myself, seems fit that my first post be on this thread.

Great. Now I know. Good safety measure for spam, but now I need to make 17 more useless posts to in order to post my useful thread.

well, i did say a couple! lol

Thanks. I made up a good post only to see I couldn't post it. Now I know why.

Took me 3 days to work this out thought there was a glitch or something

I also had to look for it. Maybe the blank page should at least inform about need of 20 posts, because otherwise it simply looks like a bug
