    Welcome! :slight_smile:

    Basically you have the forums, split into things like support, LGBT news, Entertaintment, Chit Chat.

    Then you have your profile, you can customize it and add photo albums.

    Your wall on your profile is like a facebook wall, leave comments on other peoples and they can reply on yours but its public.

    You can "private message" people for a one on one convo, but until your a full member you can only send them to mods or advisors.

    You can join the chat room to instantly chat to a group of people about numerous topics, this is only open to full members however.

    Heya, it's great to have you here :slight_smile:

    Basically what Greg (greggers) said I couldn't add much more :slight_smile: It's a bit daunting, but you'll figure it out soon enough :slight_smile: The site's just a modified bog-standard forum, if that's any help.

    I would also like to welcome you to EC too. I will have to admit from my own experience that things were confusing to me as well. But, this was the first place that I had the opportunity to express how I felt in a safe environment and that has made all the difference.

    Welcome again, and take some time to look around.

    Welcome! If you can make a new thread already in the appropriate forum, then I'll say that you're doing pretty good already!
