Hello, Is there a short manual or guide for the forums usage? I've read the FAQ's. but have not found help on things such as:

  • All the little icons and figures (apart from the ones with "envelopes", which are explained at the bottom of main page), like the little brown square with a triangle, I'm not referring to the "post icons", either.
  • I found the icon to say "Thanks" explained in a post, but what is the proper use of the Quote, Multiquote, etc.?
  • What is the "Beans" stuff?
  • What is "automatically parse links in text" for?

This is a quote. I can directly refer to your post in mine so that no one wonders who I'm talking to.

You earn 1 bean for every post in a support forum. They don't mean anything; they're just for fun.

  • What is the "Beans" stuff?

That changes something like this: http://google.com Into this: http://google.com (clickable)

I'm not sure which brown square you're referring to, sorry.
