  Imagine having problems finding the community or public forum.
  Everything is new for me and figured that a public forum exists. Signs say that one does but there is no link of my page so I’m now wondering if by clicking this blue link that says ‘ Ask in the forums ‘ will take me there. I guess I will find out or turn to a search engine to see if I can find my way.

  So clearly I found my way here to the forum and I’ll learn. That said, unless I missed it I wonder if a forum link on the part of our site that is only visible to us might not be helpful to those of us who don’t have a clue how to create our site. Just a thought especially if it’s not already there just missed by me.
