Regarding the 'beanz' issue: Since back in 2012, beans has been a way of saying 'thank you', 'good post', 'I agree' and such, with a single button press. It gives positive forum reputation, and it's a friendly gesture. For a short while, way back when, we had a button for giving negative forum rep too, it was represented by an empty tin can if I remember correctly. Let's just say it didn't work out so well, lots of conflicts over tin cans back then. After that was sorted, we had only 'Beanz'. In the newest iteration of the forums, you have different options for reacting to posts. I'm not sure I like that, but it is what it is. That aside, beans mean the same thing they always did. I hope that clarifies it some.
