Help - How Do I Post A New Topic?
« on: Saturday 09 May 15 11:14 BST (UK) »
I have used this site in the past but I would have to say it is the least user friendly site I have had to use.  I want to add a new topic and the help menu says to to Forum and click on add new topic??? I do wear glasses...but if someone can point me to find a new topic you would make me happy!!!

You need to do it in the same way that you started this topic.

Click on Forum, scroll down until you find the area you want to post in eg Surrey, click on that and you will see a New Topic box in blue. Click that and then you can give your topic a name and post your question. 

Hope that helps

Hi Poodlz
 

If you go to the forum and click,

then scroll down through the different Forum option pages to find the Country, ie England, Ireland Scotland, Wales , Beginners boards etc and click on the  County in which your research relates too ie Nottinghamshire, Kent , Glasgow, etc .

Then you will see on the right hand side of that page the NEW TOPIC option .

Kind Regards Judi

Thank you...I have now been able to add a post.  It would be helpful if help told you what you posted..as I said I find it a very hard site to get around and yet I have a extremely good response rate.  Thank you for your quick reply.
