Message Boards

The local discussion forums. Each board lives in a category and has
its own list of threads.

Reading

Posting

Logged-in users can start new threads and reply. Markdown is
supported in posts, including fenced code blocks, tables, and
images.

Mentions

Type @username to mention another user. They'll get a notification
(see Notifications). The mention popup auto-completes from
nearby usernames.

Reactions

Bottom of every post — thumbs-up / down / heart / fire / laugh.
See Reactions.

Subscriptions

Click Subscribe at the top of a thread to get notified of every
new reply.

Polls

Reply to a thread with a /poll slash-command from the editor, or
use the Poll tab on the compose form. See Polls.

Attachments

Up to four files per post. Images render inline; other files become
download links. See Files for the global library.

Threading

ANetBBS uses flat threads by default — replies are appended in time
order. Quoted replies (Reply quote) prefix the original text with
> like classic Usenet.

Moderation

Sysops can lock or unlock threads, pin posts to the top of a board,
move threads between boards, and soft-delete content. See
Moderation.
