Thanks for the tip! I am to the point of tears with trying to figure this board out. I'm a member of several different types of forums, and unfortunately this one seems to be the most difficult to navigate.
I honestly feel like a dummy. For instance, I am not sure what the difference is in just clicking on "Home" icon, then going to topic, or clicking on "Settings" is (after I set up my preferences). Somehow it just isn't clicking for me (brainwise) although I managed to set it up.
