A: You may add boards to the nav bar individually by click the 'star' icon next to the board name when you are visiting the board.
Q: How can I easily view all the images in a thread?

To use a tripcode, add a # in your name. After the #, add the password for the tripcode.
The server will apply a hash to the password and display the hashed password.
To use a secure tripcode, add ## in your name and a password. A secure tripcode will generate a random text to be displayed that will only be used if your password matches.
If you wish to display your global or board role when posting, you can put #rs in your name, like a tripcode, case insensitive. This will prevent you from using a tripcode.
You can also enable an always use role signature rule in your account settings.
When posting you can use some tools that will enhance its text in HTML.
If you add a > in the start of a line, it will greentext the text until it finds a new line.
Example:
>le ebin upboat :^) -> >le ebin upboat :^)
If you write >> and then a number to a posting, it will create a link to this post in the board you are posting and add a tooltip with the post preview if you have javascript enabled.
>>50 -> >>50
If you write >>> and then add a board name between slashes, it will create a link to the board.
>>>/cancer/ -> >>>/cancer/
It is also possible to quote posts from another boards. Just add the posting number after the board name.
>>>/cancer/50 -> >>>/cancer/50
[spoiler]the game[/spoiler] -> the game
**this also works** -> this also works
==SRZ BIZNIZ== -> SRZ BIZNIZ
''italics'' -> italics
'''bold''' -> bold
__underline__ -> underline
