Is there a how to get started and general Q and A listing?
For example:
How do I quickly find the posts I have created?
What is the magic number of posts I have to have made before I get more function?
If someone adds a entry to a thread I start, do I get a notification?
Most of the information you’re looking for is in your user profile, which you access from the upper right corner. There is a sub-forum with FAQ’s and such as well -

Thanks, but, this forum has some tweeks that others I've been on don't have such as reputation score, tier, and rank. Where is that documented?

That is weird, were you reading from a beta site? If not then it looks like the image didn't load for some reason and might be a one off (an ugly one off), does it display correctly now for you?

Yes. The URL is Is there a general new user intro to forum how to guide? [#7]

The new site is way better than the old one, so I'm using it on g05 and g80.

Ok got it, the beta ones will occasionally have broken images within posts, but whenever they go full release those images will become fixed automatically

Got it. If it's a KI, I'll live with it. Are there plans to convert g80 soon?

It's there and is fully ready, but im working on a few other conversions that are ahead of it in line. I think g80 will stay on beta for while still, I can't really guess at a time frame yet but I wouldn't be surprised if it's still another month or two. but functionality wise it should all be there up to date with the other new sites
I keep getting issues with trying to post, only certain sections allow me to post such as the sports chat section, even now I had to login and out until I was able to get the post reply button. Is there something I can do to fix this
