How to create a post and use the quote function

Help! Sorry to hijack this thread, but my issue is that I cannot create a new post (I can only reply to existing threads). I attempted to a week ago to create a new post and got a 502 error. Since then, there’s only an “open draft” button where the create post option would be. Clicking on it doesn’t seem to do anything. I have tried this on multiple devices and browsers.

Could an admin possibly go in and reset my “ghost draft” that is gumming up the works for me…?

Unfortunately, we are experiencing some difficulties at the moment. When you get a 502 error, the problem is on our side.
