A thread is a collection of of posts.
A thread is made up of posts in the same way that a book is made up of chapters.
You are member number number 3826 though.

Hello Neph, welcome to the technological marvel that is HoP!
Stick around, I'm sure you'll get used to things, failing that, just ask, there's usually someone who knows the answer to most things (though noone's been able to tell me what next week's lotto numbers are yet - slackers!)

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

Next weeks lotto numbers are: 3-8-26-27-34-38 although each single number will be drawn in a different country.
