Forum Functions

[Matthew Rembish]

I know this may be a silly question, but I'm still very new to this site and I don't see anywhere that explains it. What does the "vote" and "award" functions mean in a discussion and how do you "@" someone. I've tried just typing the symbol but it never triggers what looks like its actual function. Just trying to get the elementary stuffdown first before I dive into the rest of BiggerPocket's resources.

Thanks!
