SkyriseCities uses XenForo forum software. It allows us to do many cool things.
Account Settings
An important place to start. This is where your account info is located. You can change avatars, signatures, your profile and so forth. It is also the area where you can track all alerts you receive from threads that you are watching and where you can logout. You can find this area by clicking on your avatar in the upper right corner of your screen.
Watching Threads
You get an email for the first time someone replies and not for every single reply. If you visit the thread after that (so it’s “read”), then you'll get an e-mail again for the next reply that happens. So under Watched Threads you’re not going to get any e-mails for anything with a “new" indicator next to it. If you used to get alerts and now are not getting any, go and read the threads that you are watching. That should kick-start the system to start sending them again.

Conversations
Conversations are personal messages (PM) that you can send to members directly. Click on a member's name and then click "Start A Conversation". You will now be able to talk to them. The cool thing is you can have "conversations" with multiple people at the same time.
Tagging Other Members
When you post something you can tag another member prompting them to get an Alert. Just like this @Edward Skira
Quoting/Replying
Highlight a certain part of text and you'll be able to easily "reply" to someone's post.
Avatar
If you don't have an avatar your profile image will be a question mark, the symbol for male or the symbol for female. The generic image displayed depends on whether you picked a gender for yourself in "Your Account". If you didn't pick a gender you get the question mark.
Likes
You can like individual user posts, which adds to that user's total like tally.
Location
In the area below your avatar there's a location listed (only shows if you've included a location in "Your Account"). Click on the person's location and a google map of the location will be launched. Works pretty good though if your location is "by the Humber" you might actually be directed to the Humber River in the UK.
