Gemme is the expert. Maybe she will help.

You are too kind, Mel! I am far from an expert.

Mel's given you the right idea, Ratcrazy. You can reach pretty much everything from the home page, including chat and recent posts/threads. If you really like a thread and want to be kept up to date on future posts, it's a good idea to subscribe to it. You can set the parameters for how often you are updated (immediately, daily, weekly, etc).

Good luck and welcome to the site.
