Welcome, but I'm confused:( The fact that you have started this thread shows that you are able to do so!

Re: Could someone help this new member out ?

I saw this pop up yesterday in a thread started by 81-Chapparal
I don't think so.. I just looked at his profile and he's made 2 comments on threads by other people but hasn't started any threads himself.

he's not online right now so maybe one of the mods or someone more familiar with the system could send him a PM or email and help.

If you read this 81_Chapp send me a PM

Thanks guys I didn't know what the issue could be but I wanted to help him. The thread he picked to ask in was pretty obscure. I sent him a pm with a link to this thread hopefully he will know how to get it.

i think you can't start a thread until you have made so many posts, to screen out spammers. So the guy needs to post a lot of "I heard that' and "sounds good" and "I agree" and "i tell you what" and then he can go to town.

1. Go to the iboats forum page http://forums.iboats.com/forum.php. Be sure to login at the top of the page.
2. Then select the section in which your question best fits (Click the section)
3. Once you have selected the section, click on the RED button that says "Post New Thread" located above the existing threads.
4. A new page will then pull up that allows you to title your piece (Something relevant to the question)
5. Type in your question in the body text area.
6. Look for the "Submit New Thread" button located in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

If that doesn't work or you have any other questions, PM one of the Moderators and they will try to help you in any way possible (short of loaning you money, that is).

Dockside Chat works well to introduce yourself.

Now get out there, start some new threads, and have fun both boating and on these fora.
