Meta Stack Exchange is where users like you discuss bugs, features, and support issues that affect the software powering all 155 Stack Exchange communities.

What is meta?
Here's how it works:
  1. Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
  2. The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
  3. Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates

I asked my first question here a few minutes ago and pascal MARTIN was kind enough to improve its formatting. I have two questions:

  1. Is there a FAQ that explains how to use text formatting for questions on this forum, and
  2. Is there some way to send a Private Message to a forum member (like there is in vBulletin-based forums)?

This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.

  1. The big orange question mark at the top-right of the editor gives you formatting help.

  2. No.
