There's an Intro to Vanilla here which might answer some of the questions.

    Also remember that it's quite possible that the site does stuff we don't know it does, so if you find anything neat let everyone know please. :)

    My top tip is that if you mention someone with an "at" symbol they get notified and you link to their profile. 
    For example @Sporky

    And as if by magic... next to your avatar thumbnail, top left of the page, the globe icon (which is your Notifications) tells you that someone's mentioned you. Ta da etc. :)

    I'm using my iPhone and my text just becomes one long sentence without the paragraphs. Any tips on that?

    For some reason the editor is off by default on iOS devices. Click the "show source" button and it should turn the WYSIWYG editor on.

    Next to your avatar, top left, there's a cog button. Click that and the bottom option is "Sign Out". :)

    That's the icon with the two red arrows, top right of the "leave a comment" box. (just in case - I wouldn't have known before last week!)

    If using a public/borrowed/work device maybe.

    It was not immediately obvious to me either!

    Loving your work though guys, congratulations. Now go lie down and sleep.

    What are 'Frets' [next to user name]?

    Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!

    They are a reputation score - we've not implemented post counts.

    Basically, any time someone clicks the "LOL", "Wow!" or "Wisdom" buttons under your post your fret count goes up by one. Any time they click "Facepalm" it goes down by one. There are badges in your profile when you pass certain thresholds (I think it's 1, 10, 100 and 1000).

    We have Gravatar support so if you've signed up to a gravatar site in the past it should pick it up.
