Ryan has put up some user-friendly & easy to read tutorials that cover the basics here:

But there's also a FAQ up near the top in the black navigation bar towards the right - there's excruciatingly detailed and somewhat technical explanations of most everything on the board by subject.

Just go up top and use the Search function,good way to eliminate clutter!
Two things missing from the old barn that I'm missing. New SUBJECT used to go on top. I don't care for this thing of having new POSTS cycle the subject to the top. And, the second thing, We used to be able to scan the posts, and see WHO posted responses, and quickly determine if we had any interest in reading further. I don't think we can do this here (or, I haven't figured it out)
On the plus side, there is a LOT to like here. Overall, it's been good, so far. Just wish I could pick up on the two things mentioned.
I suppose I could be acused of 'discrimination', as I tended to know my interest in any given subject, based on my scan of who posted responses.
Never did like the hamb, still don't. Too much extraneous stuff & comments that don't relate to any of my interests. I've tried to sign on a few times, but for some reason I seem to be 'locked-out' of the hamb. I keep getting responses that my name is 'already in use'. I assume that's true, as I 'registered' years ago, but long-ago forgot or lost my password. Never been able to get 'back-in', since.
At any rate, I like it here, so far. Just wish, if this were a 'voting matter', that the two things mentioned could be addressed.

You can set your viewing mode to list threads by thread start date instead of last post date by changing the "Sorted By" setting on the forum listing page. See the image I've attached below for the location of this setting.
Click on the drop down menu (blue circle) and select "Thread Start Time". Then, click on the "Show Threads" button (green circle) to put the change in effect.
Unfortunately, that ability is not present in this forum template. Eliminating that format is one way to keep the thread listing short and uncluttered. You can, however, make each individual thread be presented in a fashion similar to the old formate once you open the thread. That setting can be set permanently in the "Thread Display Mode" section of the "Edit Options" page in your user control panel. You can also change it on an individual thread basis under "Display Modes" in the red bar near the top of each thread page.
