Web site MOST DIFFICULT to master

This is the "best" website I've ever seen in Treasure Hinting, but it seems so unfriendly to navigate. Someone sends me a message , so I log in and I see their message. There's no place to reply. I get lost trying to find their message somewhere else so I can reply.

Also, where are all the great "stories" I used to see when I came to the site? If I told my grandsons to go to this website to read great treasure stories, there aren't any for them to click on.

Can someone clarify my confusion?

Thanks.

Thanks for writing. Your has the reply box, but I'm going back to the other email where there was no reply box.
Well Bomber, I went back and looked and the reply box was there (but it wasn't there before...haha). Thanks. Maybe I need lots of time to get used to it.

Actually Bomber and Seldom have done a pretty good job of explaining things.  (but if you want more explanation on the search function, I'd suggest clicking on this link

).

Also, one of the things that really helped me learn my way around this site was just spending time on the home page clicking links and seeing where they took me (admittedly, that's probably second nature for me since my day-job requires that I 'certify' new web-sites' compliance with my company's functional requirements).   A few minutes getting used to how things are laid out on the home page does wonders----you get a real feel for HOW MUCH infromation is actually available here and just HOW WIDE a range of interests it covers.

Another Hint: If you are reading a post and you decide to reply, once you've posted your reply, you'll find yourself in the menu for that board.  However, if you read a post on a specific board, but do NOT reply, you need to click on the name of the board (in this case New User Introductions) right before the list of moderators to stay on that specific board.

When you got your 5th post, many doors were opened that were formerly closed.

At the moment, we have a huge number of new members each introducing themselves. This is probably due to an ownership change and potential loss of another major treasure hunting board in recent days. They're coming here in droves. What that does is create a flood of "I'm new here" messages which seem to dominate this site right now.

Have a bit of patience. The stories are still there, snuggled in among the introductions. They're waiting for your grandson.
