Yes and some cars have an automatic gearbox and some have a manual. Learn to live with it.
Yes and some cars arrange the gears differently (well they used to) And if they still do not conform to a global agreement? It is OK to live with it if it is sensible. Is it sensible on Daniweb?

I'm not sure if you're agreeing with me or not?

Re: Can't figure out how to post a new thread

@ nieke_e Depends whether the Daniweb arrangement is sensible or not. Is it really user friendly - easy to understand? If Daniweb needs to be modified to make its use more transparent but that is too time consuming then the user should accept it as it is (in this case I agree with you).

But on the other hand, for example, I'm not sure what a Quick Reply is, and I'm not. Then, if others are puzzled to then modify the site.

I am actually using the Quick Reply option thinking that I don't need to include a Quote or a Multi-Quote and I have noticed that there is an option to Quote anyway in the Quick Reply!

If the service can be modified though to make it easier to use then in that case I disagree with you if it is not modified

Daniweb is an excellent resource though. And the user can delve further into the many options if they want or need to.

Re: Can't figure out how to post a new thread

It's that bright bold yellow/golden button at the top of the current section page by the Page n of n info. Looks just like the Reply to Thread button.

Oh, and at the bottom of the page to. Can't miss it.

Go to the forum where you want to post your question and simply hit the yellow/gold "START NEW THREAD" button which you will find located at the top left of the threads listing.

Stick with us, most people are very helpful here.

Re: Can't figure out how to post a new thread
OK, I am new to the forum. I've read all the "How do I post" threads, but frankly, I do not see a big yellow [Start new thread] button. I looked at the screenshot and don't recognize the page format either (even though I realize this thread is old.) I will keep looking but in the meantime, can you help me?

Re: Can't figure out how to post a new thread
That big yellow button does no longer exist. Scroll down to the bottom of any forum menu page (the one in which you want to start a new thread) and you will see a button "Start a new thread"
