I just want to know about Trackbacks.

Every time I make a new thread in some forums I always saw this text box with a label Trackback.

What is it? and What does it do? Can someone explain it to me.

thanks..

You asked "what is a Trackback.". Well, I posted a link that answers your question. I'm not a mind reader, so if that wasn't really what you wanted then you will have to be much more specific.

Trackbacks include pingbacks, refbacks, and ... umm, I think there's a third one? Basically they are sites that link to a particular article. It's useful for the author of a post to see who's linking to what they wrote, and it's useful for readers to see if comments about the story they're reading exist on social bookmarking sites elseweb.
