Hahaha, I'm sure that you're doing great. I'm doing pretty good here as well!
No worries, I was lost like you when I started. First things first, with navegating you mean like browsing around the threads and stuff? I didn't had that clear, so I have to ask. Playing the games? as Forum Games and Pokemon Trivia? that's pretty straight forward, you read the rules and look another posts to have a better example, about important things? always try to know the rules of every section, to see what's all about on that section. That's always helpfull to know. If you're looking, let's say for a section that's about all of the Pokemon games, Pokemon Gaming Central is the section that you're looking for, but if you look for a section that's a bit more open, and it's related with the whole Pokemon universe, then you want to check Pokemon General. That's an example, it's not pretty clear I think though, feel free to ask anything that I didn't made clear.
You're welcome! and don't worry, better late than never! I'm open for chats as well, so feel free to start one with me at anytime :)
