No New Post button in certain categories

I've been trying to post a question in the Airport category but it does not display the New post button. The only 2 choices are Subscribe to Category and Mark all topics as read. Some other forums do display the New post button. How can I add my question to the Airport category?
Thanks

Thanks Ralph!
My response was an abbreviated version of my more complete reply, which can be viewed HERE.
I haven't gone through all of the divisions of Discussions, but I'm sure there are more examples like iChat that you posted.
And Rick,
Thank You, for extending the courtesy, of awarding in Discussions, as this is not a requirement, nor mandatory, but is much appreciated!

'0' New Posts button should take you to end of thread not beginning

Currently if you click the New posts button for a thread when it's zero it takes you to the first post of the thread. I think it should take you to the last post of the thread. If you click the title it takes you to the first post, no reason to have two links that offer the same functionality.
Thanks

Actually there are options the user can set. For me, clicking the title takes me to the first NEW post. If there are zero new post listed for a thread, I don't waste my time clicking the thread at all. I believe most have their account set up the same.

Locating New Post Button

Maybe I am doing something wrong as I am unable to locate the "Post New Topic" after I do a search. The only place I see the "Post New Topic" is at the root of the topic. Once I do a search for a particular topic I am able to see the results of my search but if I do not see a topic that I am looking for I am not able to see the new post button.
Should there be a button for new posts after I do a search and also is it possible to insert pictures into a posting?

You will not see the "Post New Topic" link if you're looking at a particular thread, nor will it appear on a Search results page. You have to be at a main topic page, e.g. the Using iTunes for Windows page.
lso is it possible to insert pictures into a posting?
You can include a link to a picture hosted on any publicly-accessible web site. I use ImageShack, but there are many such services if you don't have a web site you can use. For more information on formatting a post, see:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607563&#607563
BTW, for questions specifically about the forums, there's a forum just for that:

"Post new Topic" button only works once

Having posted once into the feedback forums, the link no longer does anything. Had to restart the app to post this!

So... you don't see the "Post a new topic" button?
Cheers – Marc.

I just updated to Firefox 17.0.1 and now I can't click on a bookmark to open it or open new tab when clicking new tab button.

In FF 17.0.1 I have several bugs to mention. I am only able to open bookmarks by right clicking them and selecting Open In New Tab from the drop down menu. I am unable to open a new tab by clicking on the new tab button or by clicking open new tab from the FF drop down menu at top of browser. Also, none button work in FF, such as Home, Back, Forward, or refresh. This is so aggravating!!

After I posted this, I restarted with add ons disabled and it worked..deleted a cpl of addons for compatibility checking and that fixed it.

FF 14.0.1, Multiple issues, new tab button broken, sites freeze, unstable, more..

I can't load the some random pages, the new tab button next to the farthest right tab clicks but does not open a new tab... <ctrl>+T does work still.
Pages that load in other browsers time out or otherwise fail to load since the 14.0.1 update.
General instability of Firefox.
sometimes the browser is slow to load, even though there is no problem with the connection or site. (verified by quickly opening opera or chrome, loading the same page in those browsers while FF is still trying)
This is the saddest release of Firefox ever.
Please fix my browser of choice.
Opera looks better every day, as Firefox keeps getting worse.
I remember not to long ago when a running instance of Firefox was ~28MB of RAM, and even a slow leak would not top 100MB in a day's browsing....
Now it starts with several hundred MB's before the home page is even loaded...
Sloppy.
Programmers thought they were slick and convinced Mozilla Foundation a bigger footprint would be more stable... look what's happened... more code to sift to even find problems..
I still need IETab v2 just to be able to use all sites I want.... hasn't Firefox got enough intelligence to figure certain code is used and switch to a different rendering technique?
At least we have IETab v2 when we need it.... it would be nice to not need an addon to make up for a lack of functionality in FF. (Yes, I know Microsoft uses non-standard HTML... and I also know after years of that same code being used that Firefox COULD see that and accept it as something that must just be accepted)
Those pages may not be in compliance with W3C standards, but who wants to live under a dictator anyway... deal with it.
Firefox keeps getting bigger and less desirable, with less reliability... Trim the fat... I'd take stability and reasonable functionality any day. I sorely miss FF 3.X...

Hi,
Please try the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems Reset Firefox] feature via '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information'''. Hopefully most of the issues will be solved.
(To revert to the previous profile you were using, close the new profile (i.e. exit Firefox), start Firefox and choose the '''Default User''' profile. While the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles Profile Manager] is open, you can also delete the newly reset profile (the one containing random numbers), or the former profile, as the case may be). If the reset is okay, it would be a good idea to delete the old profile as otherwise it would be left intact with the previous data until deleted.

Why does Firefox sometimes put the New Tab "+" button to the left of my open tabs instead of to the right?

''dupe of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/932160''
[Re-posted with additional details when I thought this post had failed. Please respond to the other post and ignore this one. My apologies for the duplication.]
In some windows, seems more likely after a crash recovery (but not sure there's a connection), Firefox puts the New Tab "+" button to the left of my tabs instead of the right. This is annoying, because once you're used to clicking it to the right of your open tabs, it's confusing to sometimes find it to the left.
If I go into Customize mode, it still shows the "+" tab on the right, but as soon as I close Customize, it's really still there on the left edge of the screen.
Why does this happen and can I stop it? I have seen no reports of this problem posted by others, but it's been happening for me since at least Version 12 and not fixed by version 13.0.1.

This may be related to session restore.

"New Document" button on ribbon not working in the "Master Page Gallery" in Internet Explorer 10 & 11

I'm trying to add a "JavaScript Display Template" to my "Master Page Gallery" but when I click on the "New Document" button and select "JavaScript Display Template" it opens the "Add a master page" dialog
and prompts me to upload a file. I've ran into this problem with "Compatibility View" set to both "On" or "Off". I'm able to upload files but I can't get the new forms to show up.
This happens on the root site collection site. For subsites, the "New Document" button is completely grayed out.
FYI - I am a site collection admin and in the "Owners" group for each site.
How can I fix this?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that "New Document" button on ribbon falied to work in the "Master Page Gallery".
In the root site, please make sure you enter all the necessary information when you upload file.
In the other word, you need to make sure the save the “JavaScript Display Template" successfully.
In the subsites, when you click the “Master Page” under Master Page Gallery in the sub site site setting page, the "New Document" button is completely grayed out.
If you want to add the template, you need to active the “SharePoint Server Publishing” feature in the Site sitting->Manage site features.
However, the “Master Page” under Master Page Gallery will become to “Master pages and page layouts”.
If you click the Master pages and page layouts”, you will go to the
Master Page Gallery of the root site, and then you can add Document.
Thank you for your understanding.
Thanks,

Problem switching from a non Idea Exchange board to an Idea Exchange board when typing a new post

Tested on Chrome/XP and IE8/XP
when I start a post in a non Idea Exchange forum and later on want to convert it into an Idea Exchange one, I can switch to the correct forum using the "Select Board" pull-down list. However, when posting, my post is refused because I haven't chosen a "Label". Well, that's because I can't!
In other words, switching to an Idea Exchange board does not add the "Label" options on the composition webpage, hence it is impossible to post that idea unless you copy it (or rely on the autosave function), start a new post directly into a Idea Exchange forum and paste your old post in it (or alternatively, load the saved draft once you have created the new post).
Disclaimer: this may have already reported, but as I said elsewhere, the Search function doesn't work either...

This is my first post so be gentle with me. I have a Pixi Plus running os 1.4.5. Last week we upgraded to exchange 2010 (or 14 as I've heard it called). I lost the connection on my phone. I tried changing the inheritable permisions above and it has not solved it. I'm pretty sure all the log in info I'm using is correct. It acts like it's communicating with the server because it says
Unable to sign in
Could not sign into account
THe mail server responded: bad login/password
I've changed several things and when I change certain things it says it cannot validate incoming mail server so I feel like I'm close but can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

My new post tab disappeared in my wordpress dashboard after I downloaded firefox 4

I have 2 blogs on WordPress, and when I had Firefox 3, I had a tab/button in the dashboard where I could go in and hit New Post and the whole dashboard was the page for a new post. Now that I have Firefox 4, that tab/button has disappeared and all I have for new posts on my WordPress blogs is what's called QuickPress, which is a small box off to the upper right hand side of the dashboard with limited room for writing/editing. There is no way that I can see to get that NewPost tab/button back from WordPress, so I'm thinking it must be something that Firefox 4 has disabled somehow. I am NOT happy about this, this has made my blogging more difficult as it's harder to see what I'm typing in that small box, I have to scroll and scroll in order to edit, and when I'm trying to copy and paste large amounts of text, well, you get the point. Is there any way to fix this, short of uninstalling Firefox 4 and reinstalling Firefox 3?

The new interface is only default on Windows Vista and Windows 7. To get it on Windows XP you need to hide the menu bar. To do that in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the "Menu Bar" entry.
If you need access to the menus you can press either Alt or F10 to temporarily display them.
To make an app tab, right-click on a tab and select "Pin as App tab"
The access the add-ons manager, if you have hidden the menus, click the Firefox button then select Add-ons. If the menus are visible, in the Tools menu select Add-ons.

New tab button missing next to tabs

What exactly does a new poster have to do to get permission to post images?

Recently there was a forum update that disabled new posters to add images
(AND links?) Supposedly this was to reduce spam. So far so good.
Not surprisingly, immediately after the update we have numerous posts in the Forums Issues forum complaining about this feature and no doubt plenty of users just submitting to this policy in silence.
This whole feature is a SEVERE (that's right. bold AND in caps) hindrance. I don't have the stats, but I'm sure a considerable percentage of
(non spam) original posts are from new users with no previous forum activity. Pictures are especially important in the Chart Control forum as visualization is what charting is all about.
(This is the forum I frequent. So yes, I'm biased.)
Ofcourse, I'm sure the forum developers have weighed the pros and cons and studied the stats and then decided what to do after serious consideration...
The question is: What exactly does a new poster have to do to get permission to post images? Wait for how long? Reply to a confirmation email? "Participate" more?
(Say it ain't so.) How much more?
If there really is a workaround by adding an image tag with the edit html button, I don't want to hear it. It's as silly a way to add images as in the before times, the long long ago.
(Also, if this is possible, this whole restriction feature is actually worse than useless. Spammers will exploit this sooner than later. (A very good point made by our dear friend Quincy in a post that has since been deleted it
seems.))

I believe answering that question defeats the purpose of having the "feature".
I suspected as much.
I was hoping to add some explanation to the chart forum FAQ, I guess "Body text cannot contain images or links until we are able to verify your account."
(if this really is the only message new posters get) will have to do.
I still feel this is more of a hindrance to the quality of the forums than not. As confirmed it seems by Naomi, spammers already have a workaround.
Sipla, it sounds like we should add this FAQ to this article:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/7359.forums-help-faq-en-us.aspx
What do you suggest?
What does the message say to the user who cannot post links and images yet? We should map to that language.
Thanks!

Twitter,
Wiki)
It says "Body text cannot contain images or links until we are able to verify your account."
If this means you will get a verify email, then you should get a verify email. The message infers that either action will be taken by the forum mods that will be apparent to the user or that the user needs to take some sort of action.
If this is not the case, the wording needs to be changed; it should not mislead you. This is an incredibly vague status message.
I do not have any record of a verify email in my inbox history. All I have is an email this morning from MSDN Site Support (I also posted a request yesterday in MSDN Site Feedback) asking me which account I needed verified. I only have one account.
Almost immediately after I replied, I was able to post links and photos. Honestly I do not know which came first though, the "verification" or my reply to the email or someone noticing the thread about compaining about it a month after signing up.

How to change what webpage the new tab button opens.

When I click the new tab button, it always opens to a certain search engine. I've tried to change this default to my preferred search engine, but haven't succeeded. Any hints?

@zoesull, what hijacked page comes up?
If there is a "battle of the add-ons" about which one will control the new tab, you probably need to remove the one you don't want.
Most add-ons can be disabled or removed here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Add-ons > on the left side click Extensions
If there is a disable button but no remove button, then you usually can use the Windows control panel to remove it. (Assuming you're on Windows.)

New Post Link Missing

I am signed in in the HP Support Forum.
I added the forum as a trusted site in my IE 8
I need to post a question about Solution Center and my HP Scanner 5590.
The Help systems says to click on the "New Post" Link near the top of the list.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/forums/searchpage/tab/message?q=solution+center does not contain the mentioned link, nor does http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/forums/searchpage/tab/message.
If I search for "New Post" in the page I get only one match and it is the link for private messages, not for public posts.
What can I do?
This question was solved.
