~**~ PLEASE READ ME FIRST! Android Things to Know! ~**~

Thanks very much; for some reason it took a long time to find such a page but I did eventually. However when I click on "New Thread" the following message is displayed:

gar2014, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?

2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
