Oops
You're not stupid, these things happen. When you have put the Subject and the Message you need to scroll down your screen where you will see 3 buttons. "Post Reply" / "Preview Post" / & "Save as Draft" you need to push the Post Reply button.

If you go to the test section you can have a practice. Try making a new thread there with just a few words to get the hang of it, you can try as often as you want. Follow this link and click "New Thread" to get started: [Group Specific]

Another option would be to make your new post on something like word in your computer, and then copy and paste it.

Any problems let me know.

Fred.
