When you reply to a thread there is a track back option, what is this, how do you use it and what is it for?

Trackback

A Trackback is simply an acknowledgment. This acknowledgment is sent via a network signal (ping) from Site A (originator) to Site B (receptor). The receptor often publishes a link back to the originator indicating its worthiness.
Trackback requires both, Site A and Site B to be Trackback enabled in order to establish this communication. Trackback does not require for Site A to phisically link to Site B.
Trackback our Forums from another Site

Find the thread Trackback URL - In our forums, the Trackback URL is also the "LinkBack URL", located under the LinkBack dropdown menu within each thread.
Copy and paste this URL into your publishing platform
Submit your entry.

Note: If the forum administrator requires moderation for Incoming Trackbacks, a link-back to the site originating the Trackback will be published only after the Trackback has been manually approved by a moderator.
Once a Trackback has been published, an automated notification email will be sent to the thread contributors.

Trackback other Sites from our Forums

Find the entry's Trackback URL - Find the URL for the resource you wish to Trackback. This 'Trackback' URL is
usually located somewhere visible in a blog entry or within the Linkback dropdown in forum threads.
Create (or reply to) a thread; enter the Trackback URL - Trackback enabled forums include an additional
'Trackback' field where you can enter sites you wish to Trackback when submitting your entry.
Submit your entry - The trackback will be sent automatically when your thread (or post) is created.

Note: If the Trackback recipient site requires moderation for Trackbacks, a link-back to the thread originating the Trackback will be published only after the Trackback has been manually approved by the recipient's site administrator.

Now sorting out exactly what it means is a different story....
