Forum design and documentation complaints

[Ninetrees]

1. Each time I come here, I find myself wandering about wondering how to conduct business. Case in point: I only just found the way to post a thread. I looked at the faq, and it was missing a vital piece of information: it didn't say that I have to select a sub forum before I see the New Thread button. Make sense? Well, yes, now. But I only clicked this forum as something to do, not because I thought that it would get me where I wanted to go. Putting that at the top of the faq about posting would be helpful.

2. I wanted to update my profile signature, so I went to my profile. No joy, as you know. I tried to search for help on "edit signature". No joy. Finally, stumbled on the Forum Actions drop...just browsing for something to do...and there it is. So maybe a hint over in profile, where I actually see my signature...or better yet, because the sig is not just for the forum, how about editing it in profile?

We use vBulletin. So for comments and instructions on the forum software go here: https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/

Is THAT referenced in the faq? How would I know to do that?
And I SHOULD be able to use a single point of contact. The DO folks chose vbulletin, so why are they not the point of contact? You are telling me that I now need to find my way around yet another system, just to make some suggestions that seem to me to be common sense.
