Hey I’m a longtime member from years ago and just got back into my account recently. I still have some good DA parts and wanted to list them but I think the site is treating me as a new member and not letting me create threads. I can see all my old posts and subscriptions, but it’s like I don’t get “credit” for them. Any way to help?

Thanks. I went to the General and Commerce sections but the New Topic button is still grayed out.

OH I see what you’re doing. You need to get into the specific subforum where you’d want to post first. You cannot post in a “category”.

Click on the forum logo and you’ll see all the subforums appear.
