Answer 5

1) Change Subjects
It is always best to post your question in the correct section so that way people who are experts in that subject can help you.
This screenshot shows you where to go to change subjects.

3) Give a medal
Once someone helps you you can return the favor by giving them a medal. You can only give one medal per question. Also do not have a medalling party as that can get your account suspended.
Here is a screenshot that shows you how to give a medal.

4) Tag somebody
Once you post your question you can either wait for people to come or you can tag them and invite them to view your question by writing @ and then their username. For example: @Qwertty123 . When you first write @ and then the begining letter it pulls a list of all the users with that part in their name that are online. Remember do not tag a lot of people as that is spamming.
Here is a screenshot that shows that.

Once you have completed writing your answer, you can click the post button and post your reply. Sometimes when you write too much, you may not be able to see the post button. A simple solution for this is to press tab and then enter.

6) Answer using Equations, Drawing, and Attaching a file.
All of these options are located to the left of the post button and underneath the text box where you post your reply. The equation and draw have a lot of features.

7) Becoming someone's fan
You can become someone's fan because they helped you and you might need their help later or becasue you like them. You just move your mouse over their username and a little pop-up box appears and there is a button that says "become a fan". During the Orange War, when you can not see someone's smartscore, you can fan them by putting your cursor over their name and clicking "view detailed profile". From there you click on smartscore and there will be another button that says "become a fan".
Here is a screenshot that shows you how you can fan them.
