Hello,

This is very embarrassing.

I logged in to the LIINE forum
http://forum.liine.net/index.php
and sent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to post a question.

Please tell me how.

Just a guess:

Welcome to the Liine forums. New users are required to post here in order to have access to the rest of the board.

Did you jump through that hoop yet?

Hello,

Many sites and forums are made for people like me that feel they do not need to read every little instruction to get started. The way I would have done this is to have a “post” button and when a first timer clicks on it states “Welcome to the Liine forums. New users are required to post in the “introductions” here in order to have access to the rest of the board”. This would have saved me 20 minutes

and the embarrassment

of asking how to post on the Liine forum. The alternative would be s to have a grey “post” which will alert the user yes there is a “post” button but there is something more you need to do to make the button functional. A missing “post” button tells perhaps I am using the wrong browser or I may be blind or …

Thanks for the very prompt reply. I will give your suggestion a try.

I found those instructions hard to miss, clear enough on the front page.
But feel free to copy & paste that into your first post on Liine.
Maybe someone "in charge" actually reads it and does something with it.

Obviously you can see in front of your nose. Some of us can’t. We are used to sites that would tell you when you hit the “new topic” button “hey first timer you must do this to post here”. I was expecting easy. I checked their FAQ

How do I post a topic in a forum?
To post a new topic in a forum, click the relevant button on either the forum or topic screens. You may need to register before you can post a message. A list of your permissions in each forum is available at the bottom of the forum and topic screens. Example: You can post new topics, You can vote in polls, etc.

Some sites are so easy they cover every if not at least most of the contingencies.

Thanks for the feedback and yes I did make a comment on the Introductions. Most companies ignore the suggestions and complaints.
