The reason why uploading media directly to boards is not possible, is because 5chan is a client for the Bitsocial 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
the moment (because most people have slow internet).

Unlike traditional imageboards, 5chan 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 5chan is a client for the Bitsocial 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 5chan, 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.
<br />
<br />
To quote a specific post by its number, use the {"'>>'"}number syntax (ex. "{'>>'}" followed by the post number). Clicking a post's number link will
automatically open the reply box with the quote reference inserted for you. You can also select text in a post and then click reply to auto-quote the
selected text.

<dt id='multireply'>Can I reply to multiple posts?</dt>
<dd>
Yes. You can reference multiple posts in a single reply by using multiple {"'>>'"}number quotes (ex. "{'>>'}" followed by a post number, one per line).
While the reply modal is open, clicking another post's number link will insert an additional quote reference at the cursor position.
