No, you’ll do fine Bill. The site is very intuitive. If you have a specific question, just ask in here.
anything? I can’t even do that…

Sure, just ask.
I like the attitude…

@Doug
Rather than start a new topic, I had a question which is similar to another I saw:
Firstly, the “Site Support” category doesn’t allow for replies or new posts, so there’s no way to ask it there (at least for me)
The question I saw unanswered so far and related to mine is:
I know how to use and include tags in a post, but my question is: Is there a way to create new tags? The list of available tags is kinda small, and I don’t see any way to create new ones. Am I missing something basic or do regular members not have the authority to create new tags?
I have added new tags by typing the “new tag name” in the tag search cell. When you are finished, immediately underneath it gives you the option, create: “new tag name”. Click that. Underneath the create: “new tag name” option it will say “No matches found”. Ignore that.
@Doug did you just fix the top part of @SuperSalad 's last post? I just went to Site Support and I have the “+ New Topic” at top right and the “Why not create a topic” underneath. Or, is it a permission vs. Level thingie?
Take a look @SuperSalad
Okay. @SuperSalad please take another look and let us know the outcome. Attach a screenshot if you cannot start a new topic.
So, when I am in the Site Support section, the + New Topic button is present, but not clickable for me. I can’t get a screenshot with the cursor appearing, but when I hover over the button, my cursor goes to the circle with a line through it.
With regard to the tags, I don’t see that same “Create:####” option. It only displays the “No Matches Found” as far as I can tell:
I assume both things are simply due to user permissions for whatever the normal user level I am at is. I’ve got no real qualms with whatever restrictions are assigned personally, but I figured y’all would like to know about it.
Please try it again. I bumped you up from Trust Level 1 to Trust Level 2. (I doubt that’s it, but lets see.)
No, that didn’t change anything with those issues.
Will do.
There was a security setting not quite right. you should be able to post now. Thanks for the heads up and for your patience while we looked into this issue.
Can you try it now and let me know if it is fixed?
The “+ New Topic” button is now working
I still don’t see an option to create new tags though when creating a new post.
Edit: Would you rather I to restate the tag question in the site support area now that I am able or does it not matter at this point?
@SuperSalad @Doug
Below is a screen shot for me when I hit “+ New Topic”:
And here’s what I get when I click in the Optional Tags cell and type “tag name”:
Does that help or what don’t you have?
I don’t have that Create: “tag-name” option on my screen. Mine still looks just like the screenshot from Post #15 I put up; only the "No Matches Found" appears when I type a currently non-existent tag.
