Hi Sam and welcome to the forum. If you look at the top of the page there is a blue bar with 3 lines of text. The bottom line on the right has the Tutorials section which should help you out with alsorts. Also keep posting because I think you have to have 50 posts before you can do alot of things but once you reach 50, everything else, like other peoples profiles and the photos, will open for you. It's a huge web site. Best tip, find one of the 'game' posts and clock up a few posts there.
Keep with it, this site is worth it!
