If you look at the top of the screen, there is the RootsChat logo on the left.
Under that are some clickable links that look like elongated oval buttons, reading from left to right:
welcome, home, help, search rootschat, profile, calendar, chat and logout.
Click on home
You will now see a screen which has been divided up into countries:
England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Independent Islands followed by General, Census Lookups/General Lookups, Occupation and One Name Interest, Family and Historic Documents, and Beginners
The counties are listed under the countries. As you move your mouse over the words, you will see that they are links: they will be underlined and the mouse pointer changes to a pointing finger.
Click on the county you are interested in.
For English this will take you to another screen with boards for general queries, look-ups, offers, perhaps resources and maybe another for completed look-ups.
Chose the board on which you wish to place your post and clickthe link to get there. Click the button on the right hand side which says New topic and type away in the box, just as you did when you started this topic. If it ends up in the wrong place, a moderator can always move it for you
The titles at the top of boards with leaves beside them are also links - see what happens when you move the mouse over them. This is another way to navigate. Try clicking and see - I don't think you can break the site!
Good luck
