How Do I Create A New Thread?

[AdamJ]

Creating a new topic/thread is very straightforward and as you'd expect. Simply select the board you'd like to create a topic in, then hit 'New topic'. Be sure to check the topic creating isn't a repro of one that already exists!

Hi @AdamJ , how do I add a new topic under the Buying & Selling section?

The "new topic" button doesn't appear for some reason. Is there something I need to update in order to see it?

[Manticore]

Well, it works now for some reason. Cheers!

I’m having an issue with the New Thread button in the BST forum as well. I was able to make a listing before the switch.

@CrowRobot From my understanding the parameters for posting to the buy/sell marketplace is set to 20 posts. It currently looks like you only have 16 posts. I am guessing that this platform is better at following the parameters set at the admin level where on the old forum there were a few workarounds…

@goosehd

Ahh ok. I remember it suddenly becoming available to me on the old platform and being surprised. Oh well, thank you!

I do can't make a BST - I've been on this forum for years and bought and sold here many times. I confess I'm not always chatting, but I do have a long history here...bummer. I have a brand new IHSH-297 blanket shirt to sell and I hate eBay! ; )

[StarsSuck]

@StarsSuck I guess I could just post bomb like this...but that seems lame.

@StarsSuck please read this thread as @Alex just responded to the same inquiry/issue.

[StarsSuck]

@goosehd And just like magic, it worked! Ask and you shall receive I guess. In my defense, I did dig around and try to find the solution. I guess the new forum was just checking that I was real! ; )

It seems that me too can't start a new thread. I tried on buying and selling section but new thread button is not visible

[goosehd]

@George-Homme That’s because you need 20 posts.

[George Homme]

@goosehd ok. thank you

[Jens]

Just a quick question regarding being able to put up a new buying/selling thread. I do need to make 20 posts before it is possible?

[AdamJ]

@Jens no, you're good, in the right group already

[Jens]

@AdamJ - thank you Adam. Suddenly it worked

[Alex]

@Jens It worked after your first post on this platform. From the email we sent:

Note: You will need to post at least once on the new forum for the system to recognise your existing post count (if you have one) and then you'll be added to the respective groups accordingly.

[Jens]

@Alex that makes sence - it works! Thank you

[Turnstyle]

Ok, been here a while, but not much posting. Do I need a first post or 20 on new forum. Thanks.

[AdamJ]

@Turnstyle 20 posts to start a new topic in the marketplace, no other requirements
