Are you starting a new thread or posting to an existing thread?

Do you have to login after trying to post?

New members need more than three posts to attach photos to posts. You were sitting at three, now four - It should work.

Please read this thread from top to bottom.

This thread has all the posts you have made in the forum. You have no threads in the Mercruiser section. Yesterday you did not meet the new member attachment post count restriction. Try it now.

I am new to this forum also. How do I start a new post?

Click the big orange button that says "Post new topic"

Write message, when done

Hit blue button that says "Post"

If you are trying to answer a post, then you either hit the "Quote" link, or the "Post Reply" button.

If you are trying to post an image, click on the "Camera" Icon, find the image on your computer and upload it or enter the URL for where your image is located.

It is not rocket science, but you need to pay attention to the various icons and text buttons that are displayed.
