Here you go Hitman311,

"LinkBacks" (Trackbacks, Pingbacks and Refbacks) allow you to notify another site that you wrote something related to what is written on a specific page. This improves the chances of contributors to this page noticing that you gave them credit for something, or that you improved upon something they wrote. With LinkBacks, websites are interconnected. Think of them as the equivalents of acknowledgments and references at the end of an academic paper, or a chapter in a textbook.

- I don't think this is an active button in this forum.

"Thread Tools" takes you to the thread tools at the bottom of the page.

"Search This Thread" is pretty self explanitiory.

"Rate This Thread" allows a user to give a thread a star rating to help denote that a thread has valuable information, or is a good read.

"Display Modes" takes you to the display modes at the bottom of the page.

Clear as mud eh?
