I am resurrecting this 'dead' thread to announce that there is no way to make new threads!
That's right - there is a problem with this part of shrapnel's forum. I appears to me that we may have gone over the magic number of threads allowed.
Until this problem is fixed I propose those with old threads 'recycle' them.
To do so go to an old thread of YOURS and edit the original post. RENAME IT. Then add a new post to start the 'new' thread going.
Note: best done with small threads. AND DEAD ONES ONLY PLEASE!
