So I have to reply to the article before I can post a question?
Is this to prevent bots from doing so…?

How do i post a new topic? Looking up info on it just says there should be a + new topic button but there is nothing on any pages. Seems like there should be some instrucitons on how to set up an account if you cannot post for some certain period of time or if you need to intereact more to eran the right to post.
You have to read several threads and comment on them. Trying to reduce spambots.
how can you get to this point in this thread and not understand how to post? This is the reason we do what we do… SMH
Okay, I’m trying to earn breadcrumbs so I can post about an actual hardware issue, but I’m about to give up. I’m getting annoyed by being told in an annoyed tone that I should not be getting annoyed…

Hi there,
Yea, Sometimes it is a task… However this is a great place to ask your questions and get some answers. It is spam protection thing so bare with it. You should get the New topic button or(+) ADD new topic.
I also advise find a similar thread to your device , using the Search up at the top, then look for the latest one, Post or reply to one of those and you should be past the frustrating part and take comfort to be among the best source for info on Seeed Studio products or procedures.
