How to post?

MonktonBMW · 05-16-2013, 07:13 AM

What w/ the Control Panel, Inmates, Photos, Site Rules etc., you have a lot of categories posted here but I see nothing blatantly listed for posting a new question... and/or in computerese I suppose "a new thread".

Is that feature part of a drop down menu? Since leaving a 'thread' is what it's all about, I'm surprised at the mystery.

Thanks!

Peter

Ok, I've posted my first thread... but it was an accident. I sent Baldy the message and it shows up as a thread. If that's the 'intuitive secret' well then, that's the route I'll go. But this is as vexing as sites who hide the login box to their sites... typically amongst/behind advertising.

It's the big button on the top left of every forum.

What is the topic of this "thread" you want to post ? That will help in figuring out where to post it.

I had a local shop install new Avons on my 1992 R100GS Bumblebee and, some 1,500 miles later I heard a squeaking noise I can't normally hear w/ my helmet and engine on. Turns out the right side of the tire is rubbing against the shock, to the extent that the raised crown/bead on the right side has been rubbed down. I took the wheel off, put in a few washers as spacers but now it rubs on the drive shaft housing.

A local shop did the installation for me. Did they forget to install some kind of larger spacer ring when they put the rear wheel back on? I suspect this is the last time I go enjoy a sandwich while someone's working on my toys! Thanks for any feedback.

Interesting... well, I most certainly appreciate your graphic... but it's not showing anywhere on my screen!

Are you logged in?

What button did you click to start this thread?

ikonoklass · 05-16-2013, 03:39 PM

It wouldn't show if you're already inside the thread, and it wouldn't show unless you're in a forum, rather than looking at the list of forums. In other words, go into a forum and you should see the button. As soon as you enter a thread, you'll see the "new reply" button instead of the "new thread" button.
