How the forums work (retro on purpose)

Yes, it looks like 2006. That is the point. Threads in chronological order, real tables, no algorithm deciding what you see.

A few mechanics:

Quote a post by clicking Quote under it; >>12 links back to post #12.
@username mentions notify the user. $SPY style cashtags link to tag pages.
Reactions (+1, Helpful, Insightful, Funny) feed karma. Karma unlocks things like posting links, submitting resources and editing the wiki.
New accounts cannot post links for the first few days. It stops spam. It will pass.
Watch a thread to get notified of replies. Your unread count is in the top right.
Report anything that breaks the rules; a moderator sees every report.

Markdown works: **bold**, > quote, code blocks, tables, links.
