Why don't you just go by the easy way ?
Download electrum and send your bitcoins to that wallet because you must have access to the private keys of your address that has bitcoins in order to be part of the snapshot.

I notice that I'm able to access a hidden away part of my profile on the website to access Bitcoin gold, and I notice my balance of BTC has remained in tact..
This sounds a bit dramatic that it's a hidden part. If they haven't announced it officially, it doesn't exist.

Bitcoingold clearly stated the following on their website:

Any secure Bitcoin wallet that gives the user exclusive control of the cryptographic private keys is a suitable location to store your coins prior to the October 25 fork. Some wallets may offer you direct access to your BTG, while others may require you to take additional technical steps. Verified wallets that support BTC and BTG side-by-side will be listed on the Bitcoin Gold home page. We will publish guides for retrieving BTG from the most popular wallets, including Bitcoin Core, Electrum, Mycelium, hardware wallets, paper wallets, and more.
