You did fine,,, calm down, relax, have a glass, and slowly check it out. It is a little different, but it is nice once you explore and get use to it. If you are logged in, your user name and avatar well show in the upper right of the screen. Not sure what icons you speak of but if it is the "Create", I'm not sure, the bell is where you see your notifications and the envelop is were your messages are. If you wonder how I can take this all so calmly, I just had a glass of wine and have been listening to relaxing music...... I'm in a zone..... Welcome back.
I see I am so relaxed, Clayton typed faster than me. Okay it was two glasses of wine....
