Hey man, in the General forum did it not display an option to post a new topic? If that was the case you need to hit topic view at the top. I noticed that the General forum was the only one that looked different from all of the others. This mabybe that you accidentally ticked that option at the top by accident or it was a preset that I haven't figured out how to change yet. Try to change that option, log out then back in to see if that fixed it if you don't mind. Thanks for your help let me know if the problem persists.
