Okay i know i'm not the brightest tool in the toolbox but can someone explain to me the significance of the stars and green blocks under your name when you post stuff and how do you get them.

I know it's probably really simple but i'm a bit fick.

hi ya if you look on the right you will see how many posts you have started/replyed to . The more posts you do the more stars you get i think when u post 100 you will get ure second star hth xx

Yea, the stars relate to the amount of posts you have made whilst the green blobs relate to the amount of reputation you have. The higher the rep, the more the green blobs (though it takes a hell of a lot of rep points to move up a blob).
For more info, do a search on reputation or check out the FAQ.
