I've added a provider ad but I also like to get into thread discussions. This site is alittle more confusing then others I'm on. I've been reading as much on the newbie board that I can. Any ideas or suggestions would greatly help. Thanks.

You are doing well by reading the newbie board. Read my reply in the thread right above to redhot_milf, about posting on the discussion boards, and reading the self help center. One thing to note is that as a new member, you will be moderated for a while in the beginning. This means when you post something it wont go up instantly but will be held for a little while, to get looked at before it gets posted to the board. (Usually a few minutes but sometimes much longer). After posting a while and showing you can follow the TER postng rules you can ask to be  unmoderated then your posts will appear right away.

I agree
Hard to navigate
Wish there was a bar to go to

Are the headings along the top of the page hard to follow? (TER General Boards, Regional Boards, Ad Boards etc, and above that: MYTER, Reviews, Mail etc. Each brings a drop down menu with more links to click on.) Isn't that sort of the 'bar' you are looking for?

I've been here a long time also, and even in the beginning, I had no trouble finding my way around the site.  I do think the original format of TER was more user friendly, but OTOH, I had little difficulty learning to navigate the current version.  It seems to me that everything on site is well marked.  Maybe reading the self help center would make it a little easier, IDK.....
