Things I miss or can't find

[Charlie B]

OK this is a pet peeve of mine about the forum. I may be dumb but I have a hard time finding the place to start a new thread.  Now there is a page that says "Portal" which in my way of thinking would be where to start but it isn't, so could we have a link at the top of the page that says "start a new thread" or something like that that would take us to the page where we decide what forum our post should be under.  Currently I have to type in the menu line "big blue trains .com to get to the dispatchers office.
