No 'New Topic' button in News & Views

Am I going blind. I just wanted to post a new topic in News and Views and cannot find a 'New Topic' button. Any reason for this? Is it for admin only?

Hi Garden Serf

It's entirely possible it's only for KG Admin to post things. Having taken a look the only post not started by KG was moved there from another area for greater impact (petition).

I can see the new topic button, but as I'm a moderator I'm guessing I fall into the Admin category. I'm sure Jason (KGAdmin) will tell us when he's finished eating all the mince pies.

Hi Garden_Serf,

Yes the News forum was originally for admin / KG Staff use - we originally intended to post regular news topics there related to KG news items, and let people discuss.
However, time is against us and so News became simply a place for me to mutter about nice KG offers and so on.

Since it's not being used for its original purpose, I have altered permissions to allow regular users to post topics, so you can go ahead and post your news-y item in there now if you wish.
