yes, welcome !!

Points to me so far is just a point.

But someone did receive presents from the YA.

I wonder when is my turn.

since U are new, i tell U some on YA.

1. see the scoring systems _click ur avatar-click points, U will see it -to know how is the points is counted.

2. and courtesy, pls pick a best answer from the answers U received, that person got extra 10 points, you got 3 points back (out of the 5 points deducted when you post a questoin)

3. try not to accidentally step on a bomb (violated guidelines) Read the guidelines carefully. YOu might lose your points, and the worst is your accounts might be suspended.

4. try visit few category and stick to 1 category that you find that you can learn and at the same times share yours knowledge.

5. Read the YA products category -answer category - you can get to know YA better.

6. .......................
