There aren't any primers per se, but the behavior of the board is similar to other "modern" sites out there. One of the main differences (and something that folks have already proposed changing) is that the threads with the most recent replies are bumped to the top of the list instead of the threads just being listed in descending order based on when they were started.

This cuts both ways. For example, it is easy to find active threads or threads which have new replies since the last time you visited. However, it means the order of the threads change based on board activity.

If you can't find a post for another reason, try to explain what happens in a little more detail and I or one of the other developers/testers can help you out.

Like I said, we're already thinking about changing some aspects of the board behavior and making things a bit cleaner and more readable as compared to the old forum, so hang in there a little while longer -- you won't be disappointed.

First, find 1 of your old posts.
Second, click on profile
Third, click on "Find all posts by user"

Its pretty straightforward, it just takes a little time to explore how to do things. Once you get you got it, but understanding of cars and computers don't always go hand and hand.
