How do I post?

Hi. How do I post? I have an Excel question. I have signed up to the Tech Community. I found the Excel hub. But I cannot see any button or menu that says "create a new post" or anything like? So I am baffled.

    1. On the homepage search for the product / topic you want to post about in the search bar at the top
    2. On the search page, look for the spaces results and click on the one you are looking for i.e Excel or Windows
    3. On the discussion page, click start new discussion:

      If you do not see this button you are probably not on the Discussion board page, to verify check the url you are on it should start https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/discussions/

    Having the same problem - I can reply, but no options appear to allow to post anything. Anyone resolved this?

      Thanks but doesn't apply. I can choose the Excel hub but I don't see a page with Select a Discussion Space or the Start a New Discussion button anywhere.

    I experience the same problem.

    And although this forum (Community Lounge) has a 'Start a Discussion' button, I cannot use it at the moment - I get an error message when I try to submit a new discussion.

        The Excel forum currently does not have an option to select a space, nor a Start a Discussion button:
