Then you will just click on one of the above areas. Once there, at the top left of the page you will see "New Thread", click that and you will then be able to start a new thread.
Now, to visit your own gallery, you can either open a thread you have posted in before and then beneath your name, click "visit maninblacks gallery" or, you can click on "Gallery" at the top of the home page and once there, click on "my stuff". This will give you a drop down list. One of the categories in the drop down list is "My images" click on that and you are in your gallery.
To post a new photo, just click gallery at the top of the home page, then click upload at the top of the next page. That page is self explainitory and contains a box that allows you to place it in any of your gallery files ie.....airplanes, ships etc.
I hope this help and if ya have any more questions just ask i am in and out of the forum all day long each day.
Have a good one,
Greg
