@roy1954 sorry to hear you’re struggling with the new site mate :frowning: I’m wondering if you accidentally minimised your post while writing it so it’s just a thin grey bar at the bottom? This allows you to have more screen space of you want to go back and read more before writing more of a reply.

There’s a Sandbox category. Feel free to have a play there to figure out how things work. It’ll come quickly I’m sure :wink:

Hi Roy only hit the new topic once to get going once all text and photos are ready click on the reply button bottom left below your text.
If abandon post is coming up you may have part of your post auto saved. Try that if no good you may to to ‘abandon post’ and start from scratch, or try it out in the sandpit

Hi @roy1954 - if you’re writing a new topic then you’ll see a “new topic” button at the bottom (which you need to press once you’ve written your post). If you’re replying to an existing topic you’ll see a “reply” button at the bottom.

Hopefully that helps you?
