This forum in general has some buttons and functions or tweaks that may seem hidden to some forum members.most of these buttons help do some important things that we need especially when creating posts or even getting some threads.However forum members tend to master these buttons, functions and tweaks over time.But I am creating this thread with the aim of assisting forum members in getting to know them easily.
Note!!; this thread may not carry all "hidden" functions or buttons therefore any additional information would be appreciated.
