My plan was to put out a thread myself, but can't seem to figure out how to start "new thread". Help is appreciated.
At the bottom of this page, there's a "New Thread" tab next to the reply one. That'll create a new one in this subforum.
To create one in another subforum, click the "Forum" link atop this page, enter a subforum, and the "New Thread" tab will appear bottom-right of its thread list.
