Lesley - We have all been new once and it was a big maze for us. I was a member for a couple of years before I even found the Chat boards.

It is true that GR wants you to post on only ONE thread on ONE board. However, the helpers do browse through all of the boards when looking to see if they can help anyone, so you won't be missed.

Of course, you can create a new thread on any board, but it must be on a different subject. You will understand more as time goes on.

Meantime, you seem to have got quite a good lot of info here, which I hope will help you. Pity your Mum can't help more, but she must have her reasons.
Try running with what you have here and if you get stuck - come back and ask whatever questions you wish. MOST of the people here are good, helpful people. Others should read their posts through before they submit them! (or maybe they should just get out more!).
