If you've never done forums they can be quite odd! For instance, here - some topics are very on target and deal with tiny details, but most also have areas where people chill a bit more. The only advice is to read as many posts in the areas you are interested in as you can and get a feel for the people who post there.
Some people join for help, others join to GIVE help - because they are know it all curmudgeons like me. We are also multi-country, multi-cultural and often multi-languaged. For every answer you might get, others will have a different one. Look at it like joining a sort of like minded club - beginners and exceptionally skilled people all with a common aim - recording and music. Occasionally people go off on crusades, and get really upset. Don't worry. Best advice is think before you post - it's really awkward when the answer to your question might already be in the topic, on a previous page - that really annoys folk. If you ask a question, take the time to at least do some of the work. Also make sure you give useful info. A common one is somebody saying I've recorded my guitar and there is a strange noise, what is it? The first answer says "can you stick a sample up we can listen to?"
Have fun - pretty much there will always be good advice - but sometimes it comes after a few days when the one person who knows, logs in.

As Rob says, get some reading of the forum under your belt. As an old* 'tronics tech my Bete Noir is a post which tells of problem with some equipment but gives NO CLUE as to what that equipment is!
I/we need a make and a model number and NOT just a vague amp sobriquet like "a Tweed". Amps changed circuitry for similar models over the years. Rob also says "do some preparatory work". Indeed. IF you can, find the service manuals or at least schematics for the kit you have a bother with...Not available for a lot of modern stuff I know but DO try!
Lastly, for now, this forum is largely American oriented though Rob is a limey like me. If you want a British slant on things www.soundonsound.com is full of real audio toffs, some ex BBC then thefretboard.co.,uk is another forum dealing mainly with instruments, very largely electric guitars, amps and pedals.
*Old in both the chronological sense and technically, not good with this new fangled digital stuff...Fork! Weh I started there were no transistors! At least not in domestic kit.
