You can see your own profile if you click on that word when you sign in. Click on anyone else's name who has answered a question and you can reas theirs. Sone tell you a lot and some almost nothing. It's your choice.

While you are here I'll explain karma because that is always the next question when people are really interested.

It is a system of awarding points, which identifies top, or regular, reliable members.

You see the thumbs up and thumbs down signs next to your question? I shall press thumbs up in a minute so you will have 15 points.

If people like your questions... you can ask for help... provoke a debate or ask something amusing... anything you like that isn't offensive... they will give you karma points.

You can answer other people's questions. If people agree with your answer, or you just make them smile, they can give you thumbs up too. You can give karma points but be careful only to click thumbs up once... twice will cancel the first click.

Treat thumbs down with respect. it is not fair to take away 35 points just because you disagree with someone. You can comment on their answer, or post an opposing view.

If you decide an answer was really OTT, pressing thumbs down will cost you 10 points, which is to make you think carefully.

If you see an answer that you consider to be racial or sexual abuse, click "report abuse" and let Admin deal with it. They will email you to confirm the action they have taken if they feel you should know.

Politics is considered a subject where you can say almost anything, as long as rudeness and disagreement don't descend to profanity... or nothing too strong anyway.

Children are not supposed to access the site but they aren't always easy for the moderators to spot so keep that in mind.

If you need to know more, ask another question in the box below mine, or any other of your answers, and it will keep it in sight. That is called keeping a thread open and it is very useful as other people asking the same thing can be directed to it.

Welcome and enjoy the site. (I'll give you a thumbs uo to start you off.)
