Welcome to the site, do enjoy your stay here and do join the Shout Box where you will find a bunch of users to chat with. The layout of the site may seem a bit different to what you would normally find from a forum, but that isn't to say it doesn't work exceedingly well. Be sure to get familiar with the different areas as to know what you will often find and where, and be sure to use the clickable prefixes located at the top of the different section as by clicking on one, you will order all the topics with the prefix you've selected to the top of the list, thus making it easy to view topics on the subject you want.
