Lost in the new forums

Am I the only one or is navigation of the new forums really confusing? When I open the app, there seems to be a mishmash of titles, most of which are 3 or 4 years old. 

Is there something I am missing - or is the new forum software really bad?

    I think there's almost too much organization.  Having tried this a little more now, there's really only a need for two "top level" categories:

    • Let's talk swimming
    • Let's talk other stuff

    Then give people the freedom to create threads under each. 

    I'll keep trying, but there was nothing wrong, from a user standpoint, with the old Forums ... it was just a marketing / "drive traffic" there issue.

    agreed!!!!!!!! Also, it seems even the people with USMS can't post links, and how can we post videos, I can't figure out how to do PMs either. Arrrrrggg

    Allen - You can find the PMs here:

    I think your settings might be awkward though because I tried to send you a message to test and I'm not allowed to.  If you want to open your PMs, you have to go to your profile (click your picture at the top and then click your name), go to "community settings" on the right side, then scroll down to "allow private messages from."
