Welcome to the forum! I've found it very welcoming with great people, none of whom I have actually met in person yet. 
In regards to what you write above, you might be interested in these two areas of the site:
Gear Advice
viewforum.php?f=5
Hiking (This is pretty much a catch-all for anything non-4K related)
viewforum.php?f=2

Welcome to the forum. You'll find people here very welcoming to the newbie hiker. There have already been a ton of people asking about day packs and loop hikes. If I were you I'd use the 'search' feature - NOT the one in the oval at the very top (doesn't work), but the one that's below 'Your Source for NH Hiking Discussion' when you're reading a post. Search on 'day packs' in the 'Gear Advice' forum, and 'loop hikes' in the 'hiking' and 'Hiking' and 'Trip Suggestions' forums. There's also a built-in hike finder, if you're on the main page and you look over to the right you'll see there is a link to the 'Top 10 loops'.
If you can't find what you're looking for in old posts, let us know.

Welcome! And I agree - the Search function is a great place to start. LOTS of info about gear and getting started. Keep in mind - even the people on their nth round of the 48 started out underdressed and freezing on the top of Moosilauke in late October

Welcome aboard! I agree with what all the others said. There's people here who've done the AT, people who hike all over the world, people who've bushwhacked every hump of land in sight and people who love naturewalks. Everything in between too. Everyones very helpful and surprisingly civil for an open forum even when they disagree, unlike other boards I've been on. New faces are always welcome. Every spring it seems like a few new faces pop up as they start their 4k quest too so if you're after that you'll probably get some company very soon.
