Where do I... ?

Hi! I'm new around here. I moseyed around Help Island for a couple days, I'm feeling more comfortable with getting around. But I could use some help figuring out where to post questions. If this isn't the right forum, or if there's a better way to do it in-game, please let me know.

For example, how do you get on (and off) the little trolley that runs around in the first area you arrive in after you leave Help Island?

Is there someway to make yourself "invisible," so if all you want to do is look around you aren't bothered by persistent "I wanna be your friend" avi's?

Where would you suggest a newbie go to see fun things?

Thanks in advance for any advice you might have.

Right-click on it, click "sit". When you are sitting/riding on something, there will be a Stand Up button at the bottom of your screen.

No, unfortunately - but it has been requested.

Try doing a "search" in the Places tab for things that interest you. Also, check out http://slhandbook.com/ for a lot of neat places.

There are some shields that can make you seem invisible, but there is no true "ghost" mode.

As for places to visit, there are bound to be a lot of suggestions. Browse this forum for similarly titled threads, which will also include my standard link to over 800 places with pictures to check before visiting:

Here's one to start with:

Thank you both for your advice. I will give those things a try.
