#2636 Unable to create topic

After about 3 days have passed, I suddenly was able to create the topic I wanted to, so at least that is resolved.

However, I would still like to use this ticket to suggest improvements to the website:
- In case there is a period before new accounts can make topics, please clarify this somewhere, and also give an appropriate error when a new user still tries to make a topic in this time;
- In case it has to do with a rate limiting system, I would suggest reviewing if this is working correctly, and also once again adding clear error messages that state rate limiting is being applied, and how long the remaining cooldown is (normally servers pass this in a header when they return a rate limit status code 429).

Good morning! I made an account yesterday and have been trying to make a post about an issue I'm running into with the JSON Utilities SL library (1.13.0.0). However, when I try to create a topic (on Engineering), when pressing "Post" the website refreshes but stays on the same "create topic" page, and nothing happens. Refreshing my subscriptions list & the Engineering forum I do not see any post created either.

I have attempted using different browsers, incognito mode, clearing cookies and changing networks (office wifi, mobile hotspot, home wifi, all of them) - nothing seems to work.

Looking at the network traffic using my browser's developer tools I see no unsuccessful messages, only some redirects (which also seem to work correctly), so I'm really not sure what is going on.
My only guess is that an account must be of a certain age to create topics, but I cannot find anything about this anywhere on Codesys Forge (I've gone through all the help pages, ToS, etc).

Thank you in advance for your time and effort!
