Hello and welcome @Mikey57

Completely agree with @Pipp 's advice- check out the chat forums . The other way is to keep an eye on the new people and seeing of you can answer any questions they may have.

I have found this forum to be an amazing place full of amazing people. I have been fortunate to meet some of them in real life and talk to some via zoom. They are really amazing people.

Welcome.

Hi @Mikey57 ,
I have been a bit of a chatter on here for over a decade now.
There is some knowledgeable good people on this forum.
Have a look around why don't you?
And there is the odd weirdo, like me, that hangs around.
Best wishes.
