Is anyone finding it hard to get into the groove on this answers site?

First of all welcome to mylot. Second you're right, it is a bit overwhelming in the beginning. you just have to take it easy, find a good topic, if you can't find one on a page, refresh it and see if there's a good one then. When you found it post on it and then go back to the recent discussions for example and look for another one and so on. After a couple of days you'll get used to it and you'll be posting untill your fingers hurt. Good luck
