I felt this way in the beginning as well, but was also determined not to give up. What makes it easier for me now is scrolling down to the bottom of the page and clicking on "Archives". Once there, you get a list of all the forums. Click on the forum you want to read - the posts in blue are ones that are unread. Once you click on a post to read it, it turns red. Once I have finished reading a post, I click on the "back arrow" at the top left side of the page and it takes me back to the forum I am currently reading. This format is also very similar to the "old" format. I can honestly say that I have not tried posting pictures yet, but will tackle this also when I'm ready to post a picture. Pictures may have to be resized, but will give that my best shot as well. Don't give up yet - try different ways to figure out what will work best for you.
