Markdown Syntax

Posts support GitHub-flavored Markdown:

• **bold** for bold text
• *italic* for italic text
• [link text](url) for links
• `code` for inline code
• Triple backticks for code blocks
• > quote for blockquotes
• - item for bullet lists
• @username to mention someone

Anonymous Posting

Some forums allow anonymous posting. When enabled, a "Post anonymously" checkbox appears in the editor. Your identity is hidden from other members but visible to moderators.

Scheduled Posts

Expand "More options" when creating a thread to schedule it for future publication. The post remains hidden until the scheduled time.
