Just because I don’t see an answer and maybe I am looking at it incorrectly but how do you create a new post in the forum. All I see is “Reply” I don’t see any other button. Is that the only option that is available to ask questions by pushing reply in a topic or can you start a new one. When I first created an account, it said there would be a “New Topic” button. Any help would be appreciated.
