How much of the functions here do you apply?

[Dex_master25]

I see so many features and buttons that exist in this forum both for navigation and research and sections of interest.
My question however is, how many of the existing functions that exist in this forum, do you use to be better at understanding it and to show you know your way around on this forum meaningfully?

By default I'm using Bpip extensions installed on my desktop browser, while other functions depend on what I want to do or what I want to search/access, which will determine which tool I'm using. Let me not forget that Talkimg, the official forum image uploader, is also a tool I use here.…

But this thread might not be suitable here, kind of topic suitable for the off section.??

This forum is not a social media. It is a discussion forum where discussions are held on various topics, especially on the topic of Bitcoin. So there is no inbuilt special functionality here and it is not needed. However, if you want to use any special functionality, then you have to use various 3rd party extensions. For example, I use

- Bpip Extension (Most Effective and daily used for)
- ShadowPulse Extension (for Pulse quality post and Dark mode)

✨ The most important options that I think will be very useful 🛠️ are:

👉 Search 🔍 option: This may sound simple but very important, but many people are not interested in using it.
Here you can first search for your question and find the answer, if you don't find the answer, you can post it.

👉 Profile page
Also, there are some 👇 very useful options on your profile page which you can see in the three options below.

1) View the latest posts of this person.
2) View the latest topics started by this person.
3) View the general statistics of this member.

⭐Merit: If you go to the 'Merit' option from your profile page, you will see if anyone has given any rating to your post.

✅Trust: If you go to this option, you will see if anyone has any opinion about the reliability and accuracy of any of your posts.

It is more important to know the forum rules and posting rules  ✔️ than to understand these types of forum tools.

I don't understand what function you are talking about. I guess the simple answer is that you should go around the community and familiarized yourself.

Maybe this is what you needed: Bitcointalk Extension - All In One - Update V3 -2025.. Or maybe ⭕️ BitList.co - Bitcointalk Archive | Data Visualization & Search 🔍 [Ninjastic]. will also help you out on what you want to search.

The search bar in the top right corner allows you to find existing topics. I also use the Profile Info and Modify Profile sections in the profile section. The top left corner also shows new replies to your posts.
The home section is a very common way to browse all available boards. Everything works well for as long as I need it.

Beyond that, there are tools that make things easier, like the BPIP extension and several others like ninjastic.space and talkimg for displaying images.

I'm not confident enough to call myself a master of the forum, despite being a member for nearly a decade. Using those features is only optional for regular discussion, and to be honest, I rarely do. It's better to thoroughly mastering the forum rules; this will not only prevent you from violating them, but also contribute to reporting violations.

For basic, at the top you can click on Help and get forum help with very basic information.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=help

In Beginners & Help board, Newbies - Read before posting is a thread which can help you learning about the forum.

There is another sticky thread in this board for learning.

You only need as many features are as necessary for you to use the forum. Some users need to use watchlist, adjust their board views by ignoring some and ignore a good number of users while some others do not use a hose but they still both can enjoy the forum and understand it fully.

Use it the way it works for you. Try out features and decide if it's a fit for you or not and discover which are essential for almost all users.

Dunno, to me this is just a basic forum, similar to many others that have been around for decades, and not complicated at all to use. One feature that I think is seriously underused is "Ignore" button, and I think this forum would be a much better place if more members start using it.

👉 Search 🔍 option: This may sound simple but very important, but many people are not interested in using it.

To be honest, "Search" option that we have here is not very good, and I don't remember the last time I used it. BitList works much better for that purpose.

Your question seemed a bit convoluted to me. Actually, this forum is just for everyone to discuss. And to do this, the default functions of this forum are enough. For example, creating topics, replaying, viewing trust feedback of one's profile, and viewing merit, etc. With these, you can verify a good member and important posts.

But if you want to understand everything in easy way, then you definitely need to use some third party tools or extensions. And all these are created by the members of this forum.
Among them, the ones I use are :

Notifier Bot (for all kinds of notifications in telegram)
Bitlist Search (Forum searches are very slow and sometimes inaccurate, so i use this tools for better searching)
BPIP Extension (for verifying user profiles and viewing DT status)
Modern Editor + One-Click Image Upload (I use this for one click image uploading, and when need format my posts)
One Click Bitcointalk Post Translator (This helps me to properly understand the hard English post into my local language)
Bitcointalk Mobile Friendly Script (This is must for me, because to access this forum from mobile devices is too difficult, and this is life saver to me)

I'm still confused as what do you exactly mean by functions? ...If you are talking about the build in options when writing a post...then I only use a few...like the bold or italic options, or resize tag, url tags, hr tags, sometimes color change options, and certainly emojis. As for the rest of the functions or options, they were never needed by me. For searching certain things, ninjastic/bitlist and google based forum search option. Lastly 3rd party tools like bpip, notifier bot, BDDb score, and shadowpulse, etc and that's about it...no more. Anyway, in most of times, you don't actually need any function, just write your thing, and click on post, and you are good to go.

I think I am just like you honestly using all function is doable but I don't, all the functions I mostly use has been keeping me going for years now and I have not had any problems with it.
Regardless of what I use I encourage you to checkout as much feature as you can and also if many suits you them you should be regularly using it, so what I am saying is that it is based on what you want to do and which feature can help you do that.
