Hello Bill, I'm not the webmaster, but will endeavor to help if I can. I can confirm that there are no restrictions on your account that could be causing it.
Just in case you are mainly browsing via the 'View New Posts' or 'View Today's Posts', can you confirm that following the steps below, you still do not get the Black box as per Jeff's Screenshot?
1. Click top Banner (It won't matter what page you are on in the forum at the time, so this is the easiest way to make sure we're at the same start point)
2. The page you should get is shown below, the next step is to select where you would like to post your thread, for most items this will be 'Forum Chat...' which I have circled. If it's an event, or sales or wants then select any of those from the same page. (don't worry too much the thread goes in the wrong place, as any of the 'Moderators' should be able to move it for you).
3. Steps 1 & 2 should take you to the page that Jeff posted (Duplicated below), hopefully if this hasn't been what you've been doing, then the 'Post Thread' box may have appeared?
Assuming this is all what you have been doing anyway then the result may be the same, with no box. If so I will need a bit more info to try to understand the conditions, as it would seem that either your web browser, or antivirus software, is blocking this function for some strange reason. If you could email me on tepayne@hotmail.co.uk (the email button isn't working at present), I will try to get it sorted. We definitely want everyone to be able to share and benefit from the collective wisdom, and if anyone else reading this is finding the forum impossible to use, please do speak up so that we can try to resolve the issue.
