Between the review and discussion boards there are a lot of rules and things to know in terms of operating the site - and then there is even more like the private mail system and photo boards, etc.

Fortunately, TER has put all the rules and information in one handy spot.  It's the Self Help Manual and if you look for the red and white life preserver on this page and click it, you will get a list of all the topics that you want to know about.

Read it carefully then come back with any specific questions that you have.  The people here are very nice and will help you.

Welcome.

Hello, all my name is ArMoni, I am so very lost right now on how this web site works. I feel so dumb its not funny ( lol ) I am new to all this and so I really need some help and instruction if anyone wouldn't mind it would be greatly appreciated .

Want to narrow down your thoughts to a particular question or 2?

What exactly do you need help with?

For starters, edit your post and remove your name, LOL!

You are in the FAQ section, read up

Reeating earlier advice:
Read the self help center. Read this board back a bunch of pages. If you have specific questions after that, cone back and ask them here.

I assume that ArMoni is her provider name, and loma23psalms is her TER handle. Her first sentence in her text is an introduction. ("Hi, I'm ArMoni"). Many newbie posts start exactly like that. People like to introduce themselves. You must not spend much time here. Now if it was her real name, then I agree it is not a wise idea but I find it hard to believe even a newbie would be naive enough to come onto TER and introduce herself by her real name.

This is all- bit confusing. Can someone tell me how to get a VIP membership.

From the TER home page, click on the buy VIP tab or, submit 2 reviews of already reviewed providers you have seen to get free VIP. Once you have VIP you will get 15 additional days every time you submit an accepted review.

To get full VIP you would need to pay but Providers (after they have reviews) can get FREE Limited VIP.  
As a newbie, you are moderated...  everyone is to start.  That means your posts are reviewed by staff before they go live (display).  After a period of time & a number of posts which show you will follow the rules...  you can requestto be UN-moderated.  Buying VIP doesn't avoid this.
