You need to provide more information.
Without knowing what program you are using, "...click > on the "Start a New
Thread" button..." means pretty much nothing.
Are you using some kind of web interface? There should be a help button or
link on it. Use that.
Are you using Outlook Express? Ask your question in the O.E. group at
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress.
Are you using some other newsgroup reader? You need to go to where you got
the program.
Good luck.
