Forum commands
Everything fits on one screen. Lists never scroll: use the ◀ Prev and Next ▶ buttons under each pane.
Getting around
- Left pane: the boards, with live thread and post counts. The tabs show who is Online now and the Recent posts.
- Middle pane: the threads on a board. 📌 marks pinned threads and 🔒 marks locked ones.
- Right pane: the thread you opened. A post too long for the pane gets 📖 Read the full post, which pages through it.
- On a phone, the Boards / Threads / Thread buttons switch panes.
- Every thread has its own link (
/forum/#t=123), and 𝕏 Share posts it to X.
Signing in
- Join creates an account and shows your Backup Cache recovery key once. Use 📋 Copy or 💾 Download to keep it.
- Sign in from a known IP address needs just your password. From a new address, a Recovery key box appears: enter the key and the address is added to your account. On the browser you joined from, the key is filled in automatically.
Writing
