The great news is that there is so much information in the forums about the Pathfinder Society.
The not so great news is that there is SO MUCH information in the forums about the Pathfinder Society.
My question is basic, but I have struggled to find a definitive answer:
Which version of PF is used in Pathfinder Society? If both, is there a difference in the Recruitment boards for each version?
Many thanks for the patience of the person that responds.

Both versions are played. This is probably obvious, but just in case, if its labeled PFS2 then its for PF2 and vice versa for PFS1. I just peeked in on the Recruitment forum here though and only about 1/2 the threads were obviously labelled by their title, so you might need to read the opening post or ask the GM if its unclear.
For games played elsewhere (such as VTT games through the OPO lodges), or in person local lodges, both types that tend to use Warhorn it is much more obvious which version a given game is using.

Many thanks for this. It surmised as much, but the lack of differentiation on the Recruitment forms made me wonder.

It’s important to point out that new scenarios are only being released for PF2. There are a lot (a lot!) of PF1 scenarios out there, many of which are great, but PF2 is the system for the current season.
Again, many thanks for the further clarification - the scenario will make it easier to make the distinction. Think I'll create a character for each and then I can be ready when an opening arrives.

Recruitment forum? If you mean the pbp forums here, most of the recruiting for PFS scenarios is done from the lodge threads, which are edition specific. Individual recruitment threads are probably more mustering than recruiting.
Flaxseed is for PFS 1st edition.
Cottonseed is for PFS 2.
And for good measure, Flaxseed Station is for Starfinder Society.
