Having Problems Starting a New Thread

Hi, I've just joined and I wanted to start a new threat about buying a Surf in New Zealand, but the forum won't let me post it! When I click submit reply, it just crashes to the "page not found" internet message. But I can post replies (I put a weak reply to a chicken joke, just to test it) - hence I'm using this reply to ask for help!
What am I doing wrong? Are there any setting I need to change - I'm on lots of other forums and not had a problem. I've tried my wife's laptop and that does the same thing. My status says I'm entitled to post new threads. I'm baffled!

Hi Mate
Sounds to me like you should be using the NEW THREAD button and not the POST REPLY button.
Navigate to the section of the forum you want to post in and scroll down to the bottom you should see the button there

Hi. I can't seem to change my avatar. Any help much appreciated.

At the top of the page, just under the reply to thread button theres a bit says User CP. Click on that and when it opens youll see, half way down on left of page, change avatar. Unless you are a paid up member you can only select from the ones shown, you cannot choose a custom avatar.
