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.

I have been wanting to distroy this thread for a long time… but it is so popular!
This does suck… Like I just am here to get some customer support since my ticket vanished into the air. I have no idea why they make you jump through so many hoops.
Hi there,
And Welcome Here, Tell you what .
If you tone it down and get with the program and Know
- This is a Chinese company’s product support site, Respect is Paramount
- It IS necessary, and whether you agree or not does NOT matter (spam bot protection)
- Lots of smart people on here to support , but bullet one comes to mind.
- Post a pre question reply then, to get to know how to post properly and get the best Solution.
Just read some of the more creative introductions with a question in them. Often an answer comes and a prompt to Create your own thread if you reply a few times.
make the most of it , as the Hardware is good and the support is improving so move accordingly. anything rude or out of pocket will get you shown the Door. don’t do that
