LanaBoards 101 - A Newbie's Guide -

[Beautiful Loser]

Hello! I hope this thread will be helpful to you whether you're a newbie or a regular visitor who needs a reminder on how to browse and use LanaBoards.

How to use the front page

 

How to change layout themes

After the server update in 2020, LanaBoards looks slightly different from before. Now, you have the luxury to change layout pictures! If you'd like to switch the look, press the button called "Theme" at the very bottom of a page or thread. (CP mode is only for LB staff users, sorry!)

 

How to edit your signature

1. Click at the top right corner of any page, right where your profile picture can be seen.
2. Click on "account settings" in the drop bar.
3. Click on "Signature" to edit your signature!

 

How to post in threads, add a picture, add a spoiler tag, and subscribe to a thread

 

How to add YouTube videos and tweets

Copy the url link to a video or tweet and paste it in your reply in a thread, or in your status update, or in your blog post. It should automatically change the url link to a video or tweet.

(If anyone knows how to add Instagram posts, please let me know because I still haven't figured that out. Teach me, and I'll make a guide for others to use as well.)

 

 

 

Please let me know if there's anything else you'd like to learn!

Happy browsing!

Apparently u just go to instagram, click the 3 dots ( ... ) feature, copy the embed post. 
go to the <> option and paste the code with HTML on. 
but so far it just pastes the code on some banner. 

traditional methods don't work
was checking other things and it just hasn't been pasting for myself and other users who just got tired and forgot. 

let me know what u think. 
I know the posts are possible bc of the instagram thread, and the forum had the option of checking the code from before, but doesn't anymore. 

it used to allow posts w simple links. and a modified http://instagram.com/p/-... 
but it might have something to do w/ Facebook taking instagram that and that mere users might not just have access to do so.

Re Instagram: the links used to autoembed, but for some reason it won’t work anymore, citing Instagram as the issue. For awhile, it also worked by typing the embed code in the “<>” button. Now that doesn’t work either. The only way to do it now is to manually insert HTML with a certain button only available to admins, as I had to disable the HTML inserts for Members after a couple of rambunctious people took advantage of it to mess with the site, finding a loophole to change the background image & autoplaying music on the homepage for everyone. 
I’m not exactly sure why the IG auto-embed is broken, but there is another minor site update I’ve been meaning to do that includes a few patches, and I’m hoping that will fix it. I’m hoping to do that update in about two weeks or so when I have proper time as I’ll have to take the site offline again and it’ll probably take a couple of hours to update. This won’t be as major of an update as the one I did in August as it’s just minor patches & upgrades rather than a whole software update, but I’ll keep everyone updated when I do it. Hopefully after that, the Instagram autoembed feature will be fixed! Sorry about that guys x

Cool cool, thank you @Elle! Maybe I can make a guide for how to add Instagram posts in a couple of weeks then. ^^

Instagram recently stopped being usable if you're not signed in, so I don't know if that is why posts don't embed properly now.

I've been here for quite some time now, but I have one question: How many warning points result in a ban and what happens if one is put in a mod que?

There's no certain "number" of points until it results to a ban. We usually choose to ban based on the offense rather than the number of points accumulated, or if we see a repeated problem. 

When a user is placed on Mod Queue, a moderator must manually approve their posts before they're available for public view until the queue ends.

Hope this helps! x

Unrelated but thanks to this thread I discovered I can change the website's theme and it feels like I've cracked Da Vinci's code
