What is an imageboard?
An imageboard is a type of discussion board where users share images and text about various topics. The primary difference between imageboards and traditional forums is that anybody can make a post without registering an account or providing any personal information. This lowers the barrier to entry, protects user identities and focuses on what is said, rather than who says it. Imageboards are more down to earth than social media sites as there is no algorithm or incentive to farm or lie for likes, karma or subscribers, etc.

What are the settings?
In the top right corner of your screen is a settings button, pressing it will make a popup appear with a multitude of options. This is how you can customize your experience on the site, from setting the theme to enabling accessibility features. The available settings and what they do are listed below.

Live Posts	Enabling this makes posts update live. This is enabled by default. When not enabled, you'll have to refresh your page to manually update posts.
Notifications	Enabling this will push desktop notifications when posts are made in a thread, allowing you to never miss a new post. This is disabled by default. Requires permission from your browser to send desktop notifications.
Only notify (You)s	When Notifications are enabled, it will only notify replies to your posts and not others. This is enabled by default.
Scroll to new posts	When new posts are made in a thread, you will automatically scroll to them. This is disabled by default.
Local time	Uses your timezone. Turning this off will use the Server's timezone.
24 hour time	Uses 24 hour formats instead of 12PM/AM where applicable.
Show relative time	Shows time in the format of "1 month ago" or "1 day ago". Turning this off will show time as their exact dates.
Non-color IDs	Enabling this will remove the coloured background that poster IDs have. This is disabled by default.
Fade Post Container	When hovering off of the new post container (the box with the subject, name and message field and post button) the container will start to fade in opacity, but will fade back if you put your mouse back on the box. Useful for reading posts while the box is active. This is disabled by default.
Hide post stubs	When posts are filtered, they'll show up as stubs with the option for you to un-hide them. If you don't like this and stubs are clogging up the page, you can enable this option to hide them. This is disabled by default.
Hide deleted post content	When posts are deleted, they are still visible to everyone unless they refresh their page. Enabling this setting makes deleted posts just disappear with no remains. This is disabled by default.
Disable board custom CSS	Disables the board's custom CSS. This is disabled by default.
Hide thumbnails	Image thumbnails become invisible. This is disabled by default.
Recursive post hide	When hiding a post, it will hide the replies to that post, I'm assuming. This is enabled by default.
Loop Audio/Video	Audio and Video will loop when they reach their end timestamp. This is enabled by default.
Unlimit Media Height	Unlimits media height on images and video.
Crisp image rendering	This is a CSS Toggle that adds the crisp-edges option on image-rendering similar to Nearest Neighbour filtering
Image loading bars	When clicking on an image to view it in full scale, a loading bar will appear. This is enabled by default. Disabling this setting will make the loading bar not appear.
Image hover	When hovering over an image with your mouse, it will appear on the right as a full-scale image.
Always reveal text spoilers	Spoilered text becomes visible always. This is disabled by default.
Show (You)s	Shows (You) besides your name on the posts you've made. This is enabled by default.
Smooth scrolling	Makes it so when you scroll the page, it's smooth and not jagged. This is enabled by default.
Thread watcher	Enables the thread watcher widget, allowing you to watch threads by clicking the post arrow and selecting "Watch". This is enabled by default.

How do I change the theme?
You can change the theme in the settings. Under the post password field and above the Code theme field is the Theme field. By default it is on, well... "default", but you can change it to a multitude of different themes. Navy is my best pick if you like darkmode and win95 if you're looking for something retro. You can ofcourse make your own theme using the Custom CSS option.

Name formatting
When posting, you can format the name field to include a name, tripcode , capcode, any combination of the three including leaving the field completely blank. Instead of a blank name, "Furchud" is used, however this depends on board-specific configuration. The optional components are explained below. Format Names should be input like: . Tripcode and capcode are optional components. Please note the whitespace before capcodes is significant. Valid examples: name #tripcode ##tripcode ## capcode name#tripcode name##tripcode name## capcode name#tripcode## capcode name##tripcode## capcode #tripcode## capcode ##tripcode## capcode ## The last example is considered a blank capcode and can be used as a shortcut to display your role. Additionally, if a user has multiple aplicable roles (e.g. a board owner, but the user is also global staff) capcodes will default to their lowest role. To show the higher role, you must be explicit and precede any capcode with the role name e.g. ## Global Staff or ## Global Staff capcode Each component can be used in combination or independently. In a post number 9 would look like: name !!X8NXmAS44= ##Board Owner capcode 02/08/2019, 09:48:44 No.123 Quote Hello, world! The name appears bold in the top left, followed by the tripcode in regular weight with a !! prefix, then the capcode in a different color, bold and with a ## prefix. The colours may vary between themes but are generally distinct from each other Name The name is simply what name you want to be shown alongside your post. Other users can post with the same name so there is nothing preventing impersonation. This is not related to your username (for registered users). Tripcode A tripcode is a password of sorts, which users can provide in the tripcode component of their name. This tripcode is used in conjunction with a server-known secret to generate a unique* tripcode portion of the name. Long, unique tripcodes can be used as a form of identity. It is important that you keep tripcodes secret if you use them for some form of identity. A compromised tripcode can be used for impersonation and cannot be revoked in any way. Single # before tripcodes will use the traditional (what is now sometimes known as "insecure") tripcode algorithm shared by many imageboard softwares and websites. Double # before tripcodes will use a sha256 hash with server-side secret for a more secure, non-portable tripcode. Capcode A capcode is a component of the name field only available to authenticated users. This includes admins, global staff, board owners and board staff. If there is no text after the ##, the role will be displayed alone. Leaving a space and putting custom text will be prefixed by the role name. This way, the role is always shown to prevent role impersonation.

The name is simply what name you want to be shown alongside your post. Other users can post with the same name so there is nothing preventing impersonation. This is not related to your username (for registered users).

A capcode is a component of the name field only available to authenticated users. This includes admins, global staff, board owners and board staff. If there is no text after the ##, the role will be displayed alone. Leaving a space and putting custom text will be prefixed by the role name. This way, the role is always shown to prevent role impersonation.

Supported languages for code block syntax highlighting: https://github.com/highlightjs/highlight.js/blob/master/SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES.md. If you do not specify a language, a subset of languages is supported for auto-detection: javascript, typescript, perl, js, c++, c, java, kotlin, php, h, csharp, bash, sh, zsh, python, ruby, css, html, json, golang, rust, aa. If the language is "plain", an unsupported value, or the auto-detect confidence is too low, highlighting is disabled for the code block. If the language is "aa", the font will be adjusted for Japanese Shift JIS art.

What is the file size limit?
Max size of form data per-post is 25MB. Because other fields e.g. name, message, etc contribute to this, the maximum size of file uploads will be very slightly smaller than this.

How does moderation work?
Local vs. Global reports There exists the concept of "local" and "global" reports. Reporting a post locally will show the post along with reports on the report page for that particular board, and the reports may be actioned upon by the board staff. Reporting a post globally will show the post along with reports on the global manage page available only to global staff and may be actioned upon by global staff. Global reports should be used to flag posts that violate global rules such as illegal content or spam, in contrast to local reports which are for posts that abide by global rules but break board-specific rules (which may be made arbitrarily by board staff). It is also possible to be banned from a board or globally for abuse of the report system. Batch processing of posts Each post has a checkbox in the top left to select it for moderation actions. Multiple posts may be selected to allow batch processing e.g. reporting multiple offending posts in one request. The same is present in moderation interfaces. Some actions for example bans (which are based on IP) may also be handled in batches. Selecting multiple posts and using the ban action will apply a single ban for each unique IP of the selected posts. Time format in moderation interfaces Some moderation interfaces, for example the ban duration when moderating posts, or the ban duration for post filtering use a shorthand for times/length. This format supports years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds. An input of "3mo" would mean 3 months and "1y2mo3w4d5h6m7s" would mean 1 year, 2 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, 5 hours, 6 minutes and 7 seconds. Units of time should be in descending order, so "2w1mo" is invalid. However you may use "6w" for example to input 6 weeks, and are not required to use "1mo2w".

What is the archive/reverse image search link url format?
Put a link with %s where the url of the page/file should go for reverse image search or archive links. For example https://tineye.com/search?url=%s.

How does 2FA enforcement work?
There are two options included in global management settings that allow admins to increase security by enforcing the use of 2FA for all accounts and/or actions. Force Account 2FA: Forces all accounts to have 2FA, or else the user is redirected to the 2FA setup page. Force Action 2FA: If an account has 2FA enabled, the 2FA code must be input for: changing global settings, changing board settings, resigning from a staff position, deleting accounts, deleting your own account, or deleting a board. The granularity of what actions require 2FA will be expanded and customisable in a future release.
