for us users it's only a benefit. you just have to update your wallet and that's it. same as pools and nodes. there is nothing you have to worry about.
Users can experience a inflation of block size increment if they use full clients. Eg. Bitcoin Core. It may be a problem for people will lower bandwidth allowance or disk space.So I am a Bitcoin user, I don't mine, I don't have a node, I do keep the blockchain upto date on my PC and leave it open so people can upload it.
I am basically a simple Bitcoin user. If and when a hardfork is done so that more transactions can be done per block (say 1mb now to 20mb after the hard fork), how will that affect me?
If I only use Blockchain or another online wallet, will I have to do anything, or will it pass me by completely?
Do I just have to get a new Bitcoin QT after the fork? Will my current version stop working? Will I have to redownload the blockchain (I bloody hope not!). I have posted this in Beginners as it is a basic question that interests me as a basic bitcoin user and will probably interest true beginners too.

It shouldn't be a concern for a user per se. If you're using online wallet services like blockchain.info or coinbase, it something you have to do nothing about. So, you need not worry about it
