I'm so sorry you are having a hard time with the new format. I don't think you're dumb at all. Everything is different here. It's understandable that it would be confusing to you.

One thing that helps me is when I am making a post is highlighting the post and copy it to my clipboard (Just go to edit -> copy). That way if something happens, I can paste it back into a new one if I lose it.

Hang in there. We'll help as we can.
