Bootsie

I hope this goes into the Introductions as I am having difficulty working out if I am allowed to use the chat which may be easier for me or if not how to post and what forum would be best for a beginner.I also had trouble logging on and was told I was not a registered member.This happened earlier today also even though I had recived emails welcoming me.I am very confused about it all.I do hope some one can help me please .:confused:
