Hello Ron and welcome.
I see you've learned how to reply to a thread. Here's how you start one of your own:
Decide which forum is best for your topic. (If you're a professional in the culinary world, you can post in the Professionals' forums; otherwise, please choose a General one.)
Click on the forum name (Recipes; Pastry and Baking General; Welcome, etc.). You will see a list of current threads (conversations). Look near the top of the page; you'll see a button that says "New Thread".
Click on the "New Thread" button. Type in your information (including a title for your thread), then click the button that says "Submit New Thread" at the bottom, below the smilies.
Does that help? Please let us know if you need further assistance.
