Hey Angela,
I've not been here long either a wk or two so figuring stuff out too, I searched for a FAQ area and couldn't find one...but I'm quite dim and overlook things sometimes so it could be somewhere. I'll talk you through what I've found so far. There are two types of avatar you can have The green image which shows as a male now next to your post, you can either switch this to female, use one of the avatars the site has (there is not too much to choose from) or you can load one from your computer, and probably phone too. At the top of any screen you'll see (or I do) browse, next to that the image you have then your user name. either tap your name or the image When a new page opens it should be your profile page and you see the image your using with the other info hover the mouse over your image really close to the top right corner and you will see a square appear tap that which loads to another screen. From there you can check out the site avatars or select load your own. I had a big problem with this at first. I use Firefox Aurora (It's an experimental unstable version) so when I was pressing 'browse' to link with my laptop files nothing would happen. I switched over to chrome browser just to load my avatar. I'm not sure but they probably have to be the size you see on screen, the one I loaded just happened to be tiny so idk what would happen if you picked something larger. A google search under images for avatars size 50x50 (or whatever size they are ) will pop up loads of results and you may find something you can the save to your laptop and load up. The second avatar I found shows when I post..that little person in the radioactive suit I have at the bottom. I found this yesterday. Again hovering over your name a drop down box shows and there was an option to join 'vworld' I had a look and made that avatar but haven't gone any further so I dont know if I'm stuck with it now.
Making friends, no one loves me enough yet to have asked :'( but I'm just as capable of approaching other members and haven't done so yet either. I guess this will happen when you have something in common with someone in a topic or just want to start speaking to someone. The option to add people as friends should happen if you again hover over their image. This wont open up private messages until you have made ten posts. Once you've made ten posts you can message anyone (I think) when over their image the message option should be there as well as add friend. There are also exams you can take to see how familiar you are with subjects, First aid, pregnancy and I forget the third its myths about something..probably pregnancy I'm not sure. If you don't complete it in time you need to wait 7 days to retake it. I thought one of mine was paused and went off to do things at home and the time had elapsed.
I hope this helps let me know if you have any other questions but as I said I'm learning myself<3
