Where is the 'new thread' button?


I'm not able to find out, how to start a new thread even after a deep search, thats why i have made the post on previous thread itself.

Please tel me, where i can find the options to start a new thread ??

I have moved your post to a new thread of its own. It may yet be moved again if it turns out to fit better in another location.

To start a new thread, there is a button called "NEW THREAD" near the top left corner of the threads listing on the first page you are on when you enter a particular forum, such as here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...nux-server-73/

Cheers!
Sasha

Hi aroooon,

you're welcome!

I've moved this thread to /General and renamed it, since you will probably be starting a 'new thread' now, about the topic you initially wanted to post about.

Best regards,
Sasha

LOL I guess moderators make mistakes too.
You moved it to "Linux - General" and not "General".

:/

smeeze strikes again! LOL WTF WTF LOL

No, that was not a mistake. Since linuxquestion.org is primarily a Linux forum, and the OP's question had to do with linuxquestions.org, that makes the OP's question about 'Linux', hence the move to 'Linux General'.
Had the OP asked 'Where's the new thread button on windowsquestions.org', I'd have moved it to 'non-*nix General'.
However that said, if another mod wants to move it to 'non-*nix General' or some other place, I won't complain.

FWIW, I often refer to both *General forums, as 'General'.

Actually, /General is called "Big General" and Linux-General is called "Linux-General". Just a little trick I taught myself to remember the difference. You gotta have a system.

And in a break from tradition, I have moved this to LQ Suggestions & Feedback as that is where questions about the site go.

Two questions to the members who have had difficulty finding the new thread button. When you have 0 posts and are logged in there is a large link on every page of LQ pointing to the FAQ entry http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...aq#faq_newpost which explain how to post a new thread. This goes away once you have posted a new thread.

1) Is there something we could do to make this link more obvious?
2) Is there something about the FAQ entry that isn't clear?

Your feedback on this may help improve LQ. Thanks.
