4. In the box that opens, fill in your DISCUSSION TITLE. Be specific. Don't say ,"need advice". Instead, say (for example) "Marvel Carburetor Problem". This will attract the readers who can help you.

Please help, now I'm not seeing any 'write comment' box when I try to start a new discussion!
Hudsonly,

I would add to right click and copy everything you just typed before hitting preview or post. "If" you did not click the "<>" reveal code button on the tool bar first or the "write comment" button that is above the tool bar, then all text will disappear and you will have the red band stating a body of the msg is required. Which you just typed and lost.
