Is there an instruction page on how this forum works?
How to post topics and/or replies?
Do I receive notices when people reply to my posts?
What is a signature?
What are polls and how do they work?
Help! :)

:) You seem to already figured some of it out!

Try going into the Forums then clicking on "My Account" in the upper right corner. You should find some useful choices are available there.

Uh...if you are reading my post then you are already in the Forums. Click "My Account" in the upper right corner and explore!

Technology difficult.

It sounds like you were not in the Forums when you clicked on "My Account". What happens is different depending upon whether you are looking at the forums on the page where you click "My Account".

And I have not found any specific instructions. It is trial-and-error...and asking around.

But don't let the computer bully you. You don't need to get it to do magic tricks, just a sufficient number of simple stuff.

Hello KT.Kpop!

I'm on a mission to at least greet new people while trying to navigate around this place myself...and I just hit a wrong button that did something else. Ugh! Okay, so "Hi!"

I'll figure this out! Grrrr.... I'd put one of those smiley faces here, but I don't know what any of them mean yet, either. :) (<-- old fashioned.)
