We were all noobs and lurkers at one time but I encourage them to do 4 things.
1. Read the forum rules
2. Read the FAQ's
After you have finished doing #1 and #2, do #3
3. Introduce yourself
4. Get familiar with the layout of the forum.
When I find a new forum the layout can be very confusing. It might take me several days or weeks to become familiar with it.
The one thing that is common in every forum I've been a member of is they want you to do #1, #2 and #3.
And of course I have a visual aid.
