I think it is a good idea to keep in mind what DocJohn said about this being the same software, just an upgrade... so don't get overwhelmed by all the new stuff.

Although it looks a bit different, all the old stuff is there and might work a little differently, but mostly the same as it did before.

So if it might make it more comfortable, ignore the new stuff and just work on finding your way around the stuff that you already are familiar with from the old site.

For example my habit is to read down a thread, and at the bottom use the "jump" button to return to the message list of that same forum. I like that the current formum is already in the list box so I just click on the button to go.

On the new forum, the button is a little lower because there is some additional information at the bottom now, so the button doesn't immediately follow the last message. It also looks a bit different. I had been trained to click the jump button pretty much automatically, but with the slight changes I find I have to actually look for it consciously now. After a few days I'll be "retrained".

I think once you are "trained" to where everything from the old site is on the new site, you'll feel perfectly comfortable again, and then if you want to you can look at some of the new stuff, but there is no need to if you are more comfortable sticking to what you know.

And we're always here to answer a question about the software that you might have, and feel free to PM me or email me if you have a question.
