Regular contributors and even supervisors can not add a thread on the board index in the Community Forum. Only those with the 'advanced powers' can do so. But, you can add a thread/topic on the subforums. For example, you want to add a thread on the 'Just Chatting' forum.
# Click Just Chatting # Scroll down until you find the New Topic option # It will take you to the Post New Topic Page # Fill in the Subject and what you would like to write # If you want to see how your post would look like once it has been posted, click Preview # Click Submit to add your new topic # Done! You could always edit your post by clicking the edit link in the right top corner of the post!
