An InDesign Question

I need help finding the right place to ask a non-Photoshop Adobe question. I have been playing around with InDesign CS and every time I try to link two text boxes it shuts down with a "major error". I tried to ask a question on the official Adobe support user to user forum for InDesign but even through it lets me log in as a member OK for some reason I don’t see the link that would let me start a new topic to ask my question (I already searched the forum with no luck.)
Is there some trick to asking a question on the Adobe forum? Is there a regular newsgroup where I might get an answer to this question? Sorry to be off-topic like this but this is the only place I know I can ask Adobe questions with some hope of getting an answer.

There are usenet newsgroups:
adobe.indesign.macintosh
adobe.indesign.windows

It could be those are connected to the Adobe forums, in which case they might be read only (happened to me before with an
adobe.illustrator group).

Adobe runs their own newsservers. They will not accept posts from anyone elses’ server, but they do transmit the posts.

If you want to post via newsreader yourself, you have to register through the web site, then use their newsservers.

That is approx what I said.

But since when does Adobe have newsservers?

Well, no. You didn’t seem to know this:

For some time, probably so they can keep control of them:
adobeforums.com

Enter this in a webrowser and you get their web client.

With a newsreader and registered username, you can access it directly.

Yes that is what I said,

I do not see those as a newsserver

Let me try once more: enter "adobeforums.com" in your *newsreader* and it will connect to a *newsserver*. If you are already registered, you can use it normally, without restrictions.

Try it.
