How do I know if forum threads are written by people with enough experience? Especially if they are giving conflicting advice. I don't have the expertise to make that call myself. If I had, I wouldn't need to look it up.

That's the most useful scenario.
When you have people debating one thing being better than another, gives you specific claims you can follow up on and think about which factors are most important to making your decision.
If everyone agrees, or only one option is argued for, I would be more suspicious of the advice.
