Why not create a "Getting Started" forum or something, for people who have questions about the workings of the forums, how to do stuff, why certain things happen, etc. Would be really useful, and hopefully no-one will ever ask "How do I change (details)?" more than once. Especially useful for people wuo want to dive straight in, and for those who post once, go away for a year, and come back and forget how to do something.

Only a suggestion

...I didn't have a problem diving straight in either. However, little things like posting duplicate messages in error and discovering that I'm not authorised to delete me 'own' duplicate post came as a surprise.

Anything that makes life easier for a newcomer gets my vote!
