A Greetings and a Question

Finally decided to make an account, I am a bit confused as to why I cannot create a topic in any other section. I recall reading somewhere on the old ATS that there was a minimum number of posts each user must send before that individual gets approval to create topics in the other sections. Is this correct & if so how many?

20 stay positive brother.

Welcome to the site. It is true that you need twenty posts before you are able to start a thread.

Greatly appreciated & I will def keep it positive. Be on the lookout for my threads once the time is right. I've been keeping an eye on a lot of the newest films and have found quite a bit of stuff that readers/writers of ATS have yet to post about. Looking forward to bringing in some new info!

Sounds interesting, can't wait to read it

I thought that it was 10 posts before you can start a thread, so I tried to start one after 10 posts and I couldn't. After looking around for info, I realized it's 20 posts. Whoops!

I spent the first three days of my account with great frustration and keyboard bashing because I couldn't figure out why I could not post a thread. Than I finally decided to try in introductions and of course it worked. The worst part was not knowing I could come here and created a thread asking why I couldn't create a thread rofl. And for whatever reason I could not find any information pertaining to my question by doing ATS searches.

I can't find it right now, but I found the answer by reading through some of the threads in one of the forums under the Information and Collaborative Forums. (At least, I think that's where it was.) Someone had the same problem, they didn't know we have to post so many posts before starting a thread and they were wondering why they couldn't start a thread. It wasn't quite related to the topic of the thread, it was a few posts down in a thread.

Where do I find a list of each section of the forums to see where my threads will best be suited to be created?

I'm not entirely sure, I'm still figuring things out around here too, but at the top if you click forums (next to myATS) that should be what you're looking for.
