The link to our staff profiles is at the bottom of each page of the site called Staff. Alternatively, you can view forum staff and moderators from the main forum page by clicking on View Forum Leaders.

Start by going to our Staff page, however, we haven’t published much content about those questions.

a) look down the line until I find one of my own, then click on my name
b) create a new thread in order to get my name to be clicked upon!

When you post a new thread, or reply to a topic, you can choose to automatically add that thread to your list of subscribed threads, with the option to receive email notification of new replies to that thread. You can change your subscription settings by clicking on Edit Options.

You can also click on any username in the forum listings (eg, in Ask a Teacher) or within individual posts to see their profile and other information.

Clicking the icon on any post allows you to use the Quick Reply feature to reply to it whilst staying on the same page (quick reply is really good for short, basic messages). The Reply feature takes you to a new page and gives you a full range of formatting controls to use.

I'm not sure I understand your question enough to answer it. Could you give me more information about this please?

It's similar to email, but it is limited to UsingEnglish.com members. You can send a private message by viewing a user's name and clicking on View Public Profile.

I've seen users post recordings of them saying words and expressions so that others could help them with pronunciation. Different users use attachments in other ways. It's really up to you.
