By default, CommunitySEO only displays the linkbacks and pingbacks inside posts when using the installed Spider Skin.

To add the linksbacks/pingbacks listing to other skins:

Login to your Admin Control Panel
Navigate to Look & Feel
Click the button to the right of the skin you wish to add the links to and select 'Edit Template HTML'
Click on 'Topic View' from the resulting list
Click on 'RenderRow' from the 'Topic View' templates results (Note: you can actually add the links to any 'Topic View' template you wish)

Find in the template:

<div class="postcolor" id='post-{$post['pid']}'>
				 {$post['post']}
				 {$post['edit_by']}
				 <if="$post['post_edit_reason'] != ''">
					 <div class='post-edit-reason'>
						 {$this->ipsclass->lang['reason_for_edit']}: {$post['post_edit_reason']}
					 </div>
				 </if>
				 <!--IBF.ATTACHMENT_{$post['pid']}-->
			 </div>

Add the following code immediately below the found html:

<if="$post['trackback_display']!=''">
				 <br /><b>{$this->ipsclass->lang['linkbacks']}</b><br />{$post['trackback_display']}<br />
			 </if>

Click 'Save Template Bit'

Note: The listing will not be displayed if there are no linkbacks or pingbacks to display. Also note that by default, CommunitySEO does not install the linkbacks form submission blocks to allow members to add linkbacks. Please see the following article to add this to your other skins as well.

Can some one clue me into what benefit this has on a forum?

I can understand when one blog links to another blog, but hows this work for a forum?

It's the same idea as blogs linking together.

You end up with a reciprocal link to another, generally related, site. Backlinks are good for PR, so you are helping google find a backlink to your site, basically.
