Hi! My name is Daniel and I'm a biology student from Venezuela.
I currently am writing my thesis and for that I'm using Lyx and JabRef, which is what brought me here.
I've been having some difficulties and I really don't know where to post my error logs so I can get some help from you guys. Could someone tell me?
Thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome,
i recommend reading LaTeX for complete novices, which is kinda of an requirement to learn the LaTeX basics, as LyX is a tool for advanced users. Once you know a little bit, you will be able to limit the reason to some area and ask specific question.
We have a LyX subforum, but a more convenient way for most helpers, and all non LyX users is exporting the limited example to LaTeX code and post it in one of our many specialised sub-forums.
If your problem concerns math, we have a math forum, if it concerns figures, we have one for figures and tables.

The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

Hi Daniel,
welcome to the forum!
Very nice, that you ask where to post. It's great to take care of forum structure. This helps all, also for archiving and finding something.
Here's a how to useful for posting: Guide to choose the right (Sub)forum for your Post.
Life here is easy and friendly, it's not unlike other forums. If you are new to forums, this guideline may help: Board Rules. Don't worry too much about strictness, we all are humans.
Another thought: it's good to open a new topic for each single problem. That's much better than collecting various issues in a single topic, hard to sort, less good for archiving.
