Thanks, I think I got it.
So to start a new thread one has to go to and click on Forums at the top, but one first has to change the skin to flat awsome first. Got it. Okay I am going to start a new thread about finding a full instruction manual. Perhaps the developer has it on line as I cannot find anything on it here other than questions about issues posed by members which have been of help.
I went to the XenForo website, but found nothing helpful there.
I am using an acer laptop running windows ten, with the Fire Fox internet browser.
