many of us do not have all day (nor the patience) to sit and click through everything just to be able to read a couple of pages. there should be a roadmap somewhere to assist with this. unfortunately i haven't found one yet and i know that i am computer literate and software savvy. i use to train others to use programs. maybe one of the people who have had time to click through much of this board can provide a tip sheet.

learning something new, to me, does not mean this much frustration. learning something new should be a pleasant process imho.
i asked this yesterday also, where is the glossary with equivalent terms? for instance, 'watched topics' is not the same thing as subscription.... subscribing to a site, function, topic, etc., has a technical meaning on a computer that's been around for a generation now.... and it does not mean a 'watched topic'... but it would have helped us to know that was what they meant, even if it doesn't work the same... and how about all those other buttons that may be doing some of the things we want, but if we don't know to ask the right question, will not be found? and it is irritating to search and search for something that may be there with a different name, or it may just be a waste of time because the new layout did not include it. why was there no information given to us to begin with? a simple glossary or list of changes would have helped immensely.
