A current forum page functions the exact same way as any other article, the only difference is the Forum: pre-title in the url. This means anything you can do on a regular article, you can do in the forum. The new forum is optimized for conversations and is structured more like the comments section on this blog. This makes it easier to have a discussion, especially if you have no idea what you are doing, but fancy code posted by people who do know what they are doing (such as discussing a template format with examples) doesn't really fit in very well.
