I kinda received a rather sad message from a new user earlier, who said that as an inexperienced beginner they were afraid to post on the forum for fear of being riddiculed or getting abrupt or sarcastic replies from some of our more experienced contributors. I suddenly realised that I've been guilty of being a bit sharp at times, and it also puts into perspective too that some of our visitors don't have English as their primary language and can't get decent SEARCH results because they can't spell accurately in order to bring meaningful results.

So it's really a reminder for everyone to be nice to new posters to the forum, the beginners, the technically inept (even though you secretly know they've chosen the wrong hobby) and especially those that keep picking the soldering iron up by the wrong end. I'll try not to delete the Adverts for Medi-Plasters and Burn-Eze, just the one's for Viagra as I know that it's dangerous to solder with a hard-.... OK you guys know what I mean!

Hi Jlittle,

Welcome to the forum!

http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/faq.php?

Get into the forum topic area that you think your subject matches.

Just above the list of “threads in topic” there is an icon labeled “New Thread” this is how you start a thread.

You find out if someone answers you by getting an email or by reading the forum.

Do not forget to “refresh” your web browser to check the forum.

Good Luck,
-Adam-

Or click on 'quick links' button (on the top right), then select 'todays post'. You should find your own thread, look at the 'Last Post' column to know if someone else have replied to it.

If I could, I would, take everyone here out for a dinner of their choice.
All I have to do is win the lottery.
All I can do is THANK everyone who has helped me in the last 8 months on this project!!
If it was a post from 6 years ago, or a comment from yesterday.
I THANK YOU.
What more can I say.
Wish I contribute more.
This site has been a GODSEND, in the only term I can express.

Thank You All.

hi mister_e,
I don't know how/where to create a new thread. I have searched but no information in the forum, could you help me?
