I have stuck a butty in my gob so there is no way I can laugh. If you look at the right hand side of your screen, under the part where it says how many £s you have there are two rectangle buttons a green (for good) and a red (for bad) if you think someone has said something that you agree with or that is worthy you click the green button. A box will come up for you to say why you would like to give that person a nice reputation. You put into that what you think and hey presto you have given then a good rep. If someone says something awful, which you think should not be allowed on the site, then you press the red button and say why you think they should have a bad rep.
If you want to reply to them click on their name and you can send them a private message.
By the way, I think you are great, you cheered my day up no end with this thread. Good luck and stick with it mate, it's like riding a bike, once you get the hang of the site you will be just fine.
