I just came back from PT and reviewed the topics. The only ones that I
was even mildly interested in had no responses posted and there was
nothing to click on to make a post. No reply box no nothing. PT has a
very stupid system and format. Nothing makes sense. Any person finding
the site wishing to participate cannot, but must spend time and effort
just figuring out how to create a post. It seems those who run the
site have never tried to access their site as a stranger. I challenge
anyone from Google to make a post to a topic that has none already.

Impossible. It has nothing at all to do with Google. Google is one
website among billions on the internet. I access Google Groups through
Internet Explorer and I accessed the Panda's Thumb through Internet
Explorer. I found a link to PT using Google, but left Google behind
when I clicked the link. Google is a search engine for information and
it is an information and service provider, ie maps and email. Please
separate in your mind the browser (Internet Explorer) and web pages
browsed (Google, PT). Also, separate in your mind, information
provided by Google from links provided by Google to other websites'
information.

I have never been to the PT forum and don't have a login. Not having
anything specific to chime in on, I decided to not go that far but
after clicking on the Forums link from the main page, I noticed a
thread titled "After the bar closes" that allows you to comment on
threads after they are closed. It seems that a thread is closed after
some period of time and no further posts are allowed, so naturally
there would be no functional buttons. From the thread mentioned, I
chose one at random, noticed a "quote" button for each post, and
buttons to "add reply" and "new topic" at the bottom. Without creating
a login, I couldn't go further but it doesn't appear to be difficult
to post.

Yogurt is one of only three foods that taste exactly the same as they
sound. The other two are goulash and squid.

Obviously you were not paying attention to what I actually said.

I said that I had no problem finding how to post to a topic that
already had posts. I said there was no way to post to a topic that had
no posts (the only topics that interested me). There is simply nothing
to click on. What is clickable results in page refresh and still no
reply box----no way to post.

Are those threads open or closed. Did you notice what I said about
"After the bar closes"? You won't be able to respond to *closed*
threads no matter how many responses exist but you could respond to
open threads, even if there is only one post, or I miss my guess.
