Tommy,
One way in which you can help out, even as a novice user, is to rate answers to your posts with the built in rating sytem. 1 star = poor, 5 stars = great. This helps in several ways. Posts with ratings are more visible than posts without ratings. Some users will review the boards looking for very good answers as a way to learn more. Additionally, you provide feedback as to which users are better sources of knowledge/answers. A previous version of the forums had the ability to subscribe to all posts by a certain user, and users would subscribe to certain users that had very high ratings because they knew they would learn a lot from them.
