You're welcome Norman.

Mloyd gave you a good answer - make contact with members privately using the "Private Messages" function - you can also find it by clicking your username on the top right of screen and then looking in the left panel once on your user page.

The forum has a membership structure designed to help new users and provide contact points for various issue that arise. The Mentors are a very important part of that structure and I think you will find them extremely helpful and friendly people who will be more than happy to help you out if and when you need it. Another good and important group are the Moderators. They have an important facilitation role within the forum and they also enforce the Site Rules but in a very humane way These people all have badges under their username so they are easy to spot as you wander around the forum. There is also a list in the Wiki of the forum administrative structure which is sometimes useful to see all the people in the one place.

Good Luck!

James.
