It certainly takes some time to get your head around this site.
Must fumbled with it the first couple days/weeks (depending how often you visit).
But there are a lot of great features. You can create an avatar, signature, insert pictures and videos into your post, etc.
There are posts on how to do most of this. I will find them again and re-tag them as 'sticky', that way they're back at the top of the thread list and you can easily access/find them.
