Hi @Moggy_and_Fish_Mum, I’m sorry to read you’re finding the new forum challenging.
We have been updating the Get started on our forum guide with tips and screenshots. I hope it is helpful.
While we migrated over all content posted since the beginning of the forum, we chose not to migrate private messages because of the risk that a private exchange could have been made incorrectly mapped, and therefore visible during content migration. We let users know of this via email and via text on the home page of the old forum, so hopefully many people were able to save any private exchanges they had.
Bernard
