Hi I'm new to DR1 too. It sounds stupid but I can't figure out how to post a new thread. I'm also unable to edit my profile. I've sent messages to the administrator but no reply. I'm sure there is something I'm missing. Can anyone help?
Click on FORUM at the top left, scroll down to find the right forum for your post and click on the forum name. On next screen, at top left, you will see a clickable link to start a new thread.
Welcome aboard. Starting out on the forum is a bit of a catch-22. You need to increase your post count before you gain access to certain features, but not having access to those features makes it harder to post! Once you get about 5-7 posts, then you can start editing your profile and liking posts and what have you.
