Where do we ask questions about features?

[Leaf473]

Is there a place to ask questions about the new features? This seems like the closest place, so I'll ask my questions here, and maybe they'll turn into suggestions, lol.

What does an "upvote" do? How is it different from the other "like" button ratings?

What is "comment", and how is it different from "reply"?

As far as I can tell, "upvotes" only exist for the "New Upgrade Feedback" forum. They're probably meant to make it easier for staff to see how many people agree with the feedback (and therefore can judge whether it is important to people or not).


Edit: The comment function apparently adds a comment directly to someone's post rather than posting a new reply (with quote) at the bottom of the conversation.

So it looks like if you click comment it adds it to the thread, but it doesn't count as a reply. But do the comments get added right under the commented-on post? Or do they get added to the current end of the thread?

You can comment on your own posts as long as it is not the original post.

The comment is added right under the commented-on post. In which it differs from a reply.

I also just noticed that comments have the "upvote" option. Not sure why that is, since you can put regular reactions (like likes) to them as well.

What's a "profile banner"?

When you go to my profile (or hover over my profile-picture here on the left) you can see where the banner is displayed.
