With the change from our old forum software to Discourse, there are a lot of changes. It can be hard to keep up. I don’t want anybody to have to “study” to use the new forum but there are a lot of new features and improvements. A lot of it is intuitive, some isn’t as intuitive for those used to a more traditional forum package.

If you want to learn more on navigating Discourse (this forum software) for new users please check out this guide: [Understanding Discourse for new users - Using Discourse - Discourse Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/t/understanding-discourse-for-new-users/96331)

Marking this “solved” so we can have any conversation about the forum itself in the #Site Feedback subforum.
