I'm glad that I have helped you. You have the right mindset so don't give up. One recommendation though, you stated that you have signed up on a lot of forums, try to avoid that. I'm not saying that you should stick to one forum, but try to get really into one, two or three communities. It will really benefit you to actually get to know people on the forums since people are more open and willing to help you then. You see, let's take me as an example; I have a lot to do with reading almost every single new post to check if they violate the rules, I love helping people and I will try do that as much as possible. I'm currently working hard on my web designing and I do therefore not have that many hours left to actually help people. Therefore if I come online and I see five threads where I know I can help but I only have the time to answer to 4 of them, I will of course choose those who are into the community. Because a person with 1 post could leave the forum right after I helped him and I won't use my time on someone who aren't active or at least trying to be active on the forum. Don't get me wrong I will of course help wherever I can and you are more than welcome to contact me if you need help with anything, but I have to prioritize my time a little bit since I don't have that much of it left anymore.
