Is there a Manual in PDF or something?

Well, I thought this would be easy, but I've spent 3 hours reading help, FAQ and experimenting etc just trying to get started. I see dozens of forums everyday and they look so simple. I can't seem to get a simple forum going. Like set up two or three different topics in my ONE forum or Category or whatever it is called. I want to be able to click on that header and enter that forum section with the messages pertaining to that header. Isn't there a simple users guide we can download without having to skip around from page to page to find answers?

Thanks much
Tim

PS: perhaps a graphical outline or something to show a simple forum that is already set up and how to do it. I'm trying to start a race workers forum and probably just want a Welcome Post for introductions, then maybe just a few more topics. Should be simple, but this Admin console really confuses me.

Sorry there isn't but you can try the old admin panel, to do that scroll all the way down the new admin panel and click on old version when you get there scroll allthe way down and click that arrow

that brings out everything in the admin panel. I feel the old one is easier to use.
