All the threads in the Forum work the same as this one (some few exceptions -- the demo threads don't permit posted responses). Click on the section in which you wish to post -- say, "Oil Critiques" -- and then click "New Topic." Give your new topic (that is, new thread) a descriptive title in the window for that, and then type in the body of the post in the next window, and click "Manage Attachments" to post any images, same as in this thread, using the "Browse" and then "Upload" sequence. You'll have to be mindful of the file type requirements and size limits, specified in the window for managing attachments. Many failed uploads are due to oversized image files. Run your images through software (such as Photoshop) that can resize them to the 400 pixels wide and 600 pixels high limits. If your image is within those limits but still won't post, it may be a file compression issue -- contact a moderator to work it out.
To add to a thread, just go to any post and click "Post Reply." If you wish to respond to a particular post in that thread, click "Quote," in which case the post to which you're responding will be copied and reposted as part of your new entry. (Sometimes you don't wish to quote an entire post, but only a part of it -- as I've done with yours, above -- but that's a bit of "html markup" housekeeping that can wait.)
In any event, any time you're stuck, just email or send a private message ("PM" -- click on the moderator's name anywhere in the Forum and select that option from the menu that appears) to the moderator of the section in question.
