You have already created your first thread/post. A thread is the the list of posts collectively under one topic. I am now posting a reply to the thread you started entitled assistance. A post is a single posting. You will see numbers next to each post in this thread. #1 beside your first post & a #2 beside mine. These are individual posts. All added onto the same thread. You can find out more if you click on the FAQ button next to the User CP (User control panel), top left.

Make sure of your topic & try to find the correct section in the forums to post. Then name the thread appropriately to suit your topic. Some tips can also be found here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/mac-os...od-thread.html
