There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Put them where they are most comfortable for you. Make your changes in small increments and it may take a number of tries to get them where you want. Carry the wrench with you and make changes when your body tells you to do so. Be certain to tighten them after every change.

There are also jam nuts under the adjuster bolt. May have to loosen and readjust to your liking.
Mine turns rather hard also. I find it easier to use a ratchet with am a hex head socket.

Jam nuts
First off the allen head bolt under the rubber cap is hard to turn. As suggested use a ratchet with an allen bit to rotate it. As for the suggestion of messing with the two jam nuts I wouldn't mess with them. They were set that way for two reasons:
1. They removed any up and down sloop/play of the handle bar by sandwiching the frame of the handlebar between the underside of the head of the allen bolt and the top of the first nut under the handlebar frame.
2. They are also adjusted to provide rotational resistance of the bolt so it don't loosen over time.
Also if you are raising the height of the handlebar Do Not raise it to the extent that the end of the bolt goes inside the brass rod that it is threaded into. You want 100% thread capture of the brass rod.
