Ah yes, there may be a few quirks you come across depending on the forum software you were previously used to, but I think they can be relatively quick to pick up. 🤞 And we’re always happy to help on here with anything if you have any questions or issues. 🙂

FWIW One thing that can be quite useful while you’re getting used to everything is to create a ‘test’ category with some restricted visibility permissions so you can have a safe space to play with things before trying something ‘live’. Splitting, merging, tagging, topic timers, etc, etc. I think seeing things in action in a sandbox type area can really help provide some extra context and hopefully reduce the learning curve. 🤞
