If you go down to the bottom, on the right, there's a box that says Forum Jump. Open that up, and there's the topic "General Board Help and FAQ." Switching to that (by clicking on it) and then reading it may give answers to some of your questions. You'll notice that one of the "forums" is "Main." The highest numbered thread there, always at the top, is the current general discussion thread where most of the talk happens and where we hang out most of the time. Drop in there to say HI!
And N'ubies, when you're trying to post ("post"="reply"), notice that you have a preview button in the middle. If you want to check that a quote (or anything else) is coming out right, hit preview and it will show you how what you've keyboarded will display and still allow you to make changes/corrections before you actually post it. You can also change/correct your post afterward with the "modify" button.
ABOUT SMILEYS:
The smileys can be annoying. They particularly haunt the letter D combined with ) or ". You can disable the smileys by previewing your post (one of the options) before posting it to see if any smileys have crept in and inserting a space between the offending characters that have combined to produce the smiley; or you can hit the second of the two checkboxes under any post being either composed or modified. This disables the smileys...but doesn't carry over if/when your original post is quoted. Then, the smiley will reappear. So I usually do both: check for unwanted smileys and insert space to eliminate them and then hit the checkbox too, to disable the smilies in general.[/color]
