Seems every new user is unable to start a forum topic. Some of them post in other threads so that they can get messages out, but I'm sure most just leave frustrated.
Admins need to look into this before the forums go completely dead and no new information is shared.

I've heard of people with this problem everywhere but I've never had it. And unless the decline in posts is slow enough not to be noticed in the 15 weeks I've been here it isn't a major problem either. In closing, how can Abby Seiff be admin w/o any recognition by her name like other forums, and I agree with milkweed, I am seriously tired of people posting about this, how is admin just noticing. I mean come on, if you see someone post about this you do not need to start your own thread about it!
I don't want to start a new thread for this, but is there an FAQ for posting comments on popsci in general? I can't seem to find one. This is the only help area I can see so far... so I apologize if this is an inappropriate question. Thanks.

This is pretty much the only place besides the web only articles discussion, which has been used for things like what you are talking about.
