If you use the browser version, you should upload images to an image hosting service of your choice, and then past the image link in the [Link] field

The reason why uploading media directly to boards is not possible, is because Plebchan is a client for the Plebbit protocol, which is text-only
|
||||||
|
(including links, from which media is embedded by clients). However, Plebbit uses IPFS, so in theory it could let users upload media to the subplebbit
|
||||||
|
(board) owner's IPFS node, and then post the direct IPFS link for the media. This is not enabled because loading media from IPFS is extremely slow at
|
||||||

To quote a portion of text, simply place a pointer ("{'>'}") in front of the text you wish to highlight (ex. "
|
||||||
|
<span className='greentext'>{'>'}This is a quote</span>").
|
||||||
|
<br />
|
||||||
|
<br />
|
||||||
|
Unlike 4chan and other imageboards, Plebchan does <i>not</i> allow to quote more than one post at a time. You can only reply to one post at a time. This
|
||||||
|
is because Plebchan is a client for the Plebbit protocol, which is designed to be an alternative to Reddit-like social media, in which you can only
|
||||||
|
reply to one post at a time.
|
||||||
|
<br />
|
||||||
|
<br />
|
||||||
|
Further, post numbers are not possible on Plebchan, because Plebbit is fully decentralized (serverless) using IPFS, meaning there is no central database
|
||||||
|
to store post numbers, and it uses CIDs to load posts directly. Retrieving the CID from an hypothetical post number from the single board's database
|
||||||
|
would be far too expensive for the node to calculate.

All boards allow you to mask plot-spoiling content. To mark your image as a spoiler, check the [x Spoiler?] box before submission. Spoilerizing text
|
||||||
|
makes it unreadable to others until they mouse over it. To spoilerize a comment, place {`<spoiler>`} tags around the text you wish to hide (ex. "
|
||||||
|
{`<spoiler>`}SPIKE DIES!{`</spoiler>`}").
