Unfortunately you joined at a time when the forum software has recently been changed/upgraded, so everyone is focused in on chasing bugs in the system, and learning a new way of navigating around the forum. I'm a little more down the road of a similar situation. I was into film photography in the 70s through the 90s. When my daughter got interested in photography a few years ago, I got her a D3400 kit.
