I was thinking perhaps it would be a good idea to have a thread to share our best technical usage tips for the forum.

What are your best tips & tricks? Please share!
 
Here's something I only recently discovered:

On a phone if you're on the forum main page - that is, the index page that lists all the forums, this doesn't show the side bar with boxes containing "Members online", "Latest posts", "Members recently online" and so on. However, there is an icon next to the "search" icon (i.e. the magnifying glass) which contains three dots arranged in a vertical line. If you click this icon, then the sidebar will appear!

This icon is also displayed in the "big screen" version of the forum that you typically see on a laptop / desktop computer. If you click this icon here, you can make the sidebar disappear!
