[Burichan] [Futaba] [Gurochan] [Photon] - [Home]

Tips:

Get a New Look!

Don't like the way your page looks? On the main page, look up and to the right for differnet page styles that you can choose. They have funny names, like Photon, Gurochan, and Burichan. Look for more in the future, too. Also, ask for code so you can make your own, and we will upload them.

Link Field

The Link Field can be used for your email address, or for a link to a site, etc. Sometimes this field can be used for certain commands, (e.g., "sage."

Just by typing a URL in your message, that URL will be linked (hopefully!).

Replying to Threads

Just click on the Reply link next to the first post of the thread you wish to reply to. If you just fill out the comment box and hit submit before clicking Reply, you will try to create a new thread. This will most often result in a "Error: No file selected." - the safest way to tell that you haven't really tried to reply to a thread.

Deleting Posts

At the bottom of each page of this forum, there is a Delete button. Next to it, there's a password field. If you haven't set an individual password, the forum software will already have set a password for you that is saved in your cookie*. Check the box next to your name for the post(s) you want to delete, and check the File Only box above the Delete button if you only want to delete your images. Then click the Delete Button for great justice!

*NOTE: This requires your JavaScript & cookies to be turned on. Also, if Firefox asks you whether the password should be remembered, tell it to "Never remember it for this site"!

Using Sage

"sage" is a way to reply to a thread without bumping it to the top of the thread list or the top of the board's first page.

To sage, write "sage" in the e-mail/link box. Case specific.

Quoting and Hyperlinking Threadss

To quote a certain passage of text, you only need to append a single angle bracket followed by a single space in front of it:

> This is the quoted text. Both KarehaScript and WakabaScript,
> as well as the FutabaScript and the FutallabyScript
> automatically turn this into a different color than normal
> text.

To refer to a certain post in a thread, either click on the number of the post (if you have JavaScript enabled) or manually write out the number and append two angle brackets in front of it:

>>2

This will hyperlink to that thread.

Markup for Posts (sorry!?!)

WakabaMark is a very simple markup code for doing simple formatting of posts. It's designed to be intuitive to use, and look good even when not parsed. It is heavily inspired by MarkDown.

The basic features are as follows:

* Surround text with * or _ to make <em> tags. _Like this_ or *like this*. This makes the text italic.
* Surround text with ** or __ to make <strong> tags. This makes the text bold.
* Make an unordered HTML list by beginning each line with *, or -. You can add line breaks in list entries by breaking the line and indenting the next line with one or more spaces.
* Make ordered HTML lists by beginning the first line with "1.", and the following lines with further numbers. It actually doesn't matter what numbers you use, as long as the first one is 1.
* Make <blockquote> sections by beginning each line with ">".
* Make <code> sections by indenting each line by four spaces or one tab. Code sections get shown in a monospaced font, and are not otherwise formatted.
* Make short spans of code in normal text by enclosing the code in backticks, `like so` . To display code that contains backticks, use several backticks to surround it, ``like so`` .
* Make external links by just typing the URL you want to link to. Post references like >>1 are also automatically turned into links.

Do not leave empty lines in the middle of lists or quoted blocks, as this turns them into separate blocks.

Trip Codes

Tripcodes are used as a proof of identity, while still remaining anonymous. If you enter your name as Name#tripcode, it will be shown as Name!3GqYIJ3Obs, the idea being that only you know the code word used to generate the tripcode.

However, the tripcode algorithm is well known, and it is fairly easy to perform a BruteForceAttack on it to find out someone's code. Therefore, tripcodes are more of a token than a guarantee.

Install the Greasemonkey Script

For those of you using FireFox with Greasemonkey, there is a cool script you can install to make the board more functional. I have modified it to work with The De-Griefer, so install version 0.9.5.3 by clicking here. Read about it from his actual page here. His will not work with The De-Griefer, but I will update this one as he does.
