Welcome back, something something about a goat ritual. The rules are here: > [@Reorganized SDMB rules](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/reorganized-sdmb-rules/968857): > > SDMB rules have been reorganized and are restated below. This version incorporates all recent revisions and adds a new rule about troublesome posters, which is highlighted. Most of these rules are of long standing and in our opinion are reasonably clear.

You have a handy shortcut called notifications at the top right of the screen by your profile picture, which is currently a white “A” on a yellow background. Click that and it will show you new replies to discussions you have participated in. If you click your profile icon then the little person you can set up your user profile and email settings. Website search works pretty well now, just use the magnifying glass up top. Scroll with either a mousewheel, arrow keys, page up/down, or by dragging the scrollbar on the right side of the screen that shows a date next to it (by default the scroll bar is blue). When you aren’t writing a post, there are keyboard shortcuts for navigation like ‘j’ to jump to the next post. See all the keyboard shortcuts by typing ‘?’. Alternatively click the hamburger icon in the top right of the screen, then “Keyboard Shortcuts”. (It’s called a hamburger icon because it consists of three horizontal lines, sort of like a patty between two buns). To quote, either start your line with a greater-than symbol \>, use the speech bubble button in the editor, or highlight text from the post you want to quote and click “quote”.
