Miscellaneous tutorial, general BBS functions

I see a lot of people saying they do not know about this or that function and that makes me think the would be a place for me to write a tutorial on all of those.

1) Light/Dark mode

On the top of the screen, click your own icon to get the drop down menu.

Remember, dark mode might be better for you eyes, especially if you use BBS in the dark.

2) Navigation

By default we are on post but all of those buttons exists and I keep seeing people say that they had no clue about polls so clearly that's not obvious.

a) Post

Nothing much to say about this it is the normal navigation you all know.

b) Polls

Polls allow you to ask a question and allow users to chose one of 2 to 4 answers.

c) About

About is the things you should know about the BBS you are in, it includes the rules and everything. You definitely need to read those. You can also find those on the right side of your screen on a desktop.

d) Activity

This is a feed of everything going on in the BBS in terms of cash flow. Nothing very interesting for most users but nice to know there is transparency for anyone trying to look.

e) Rewards

It's a page about all the major BBS and their respective stats and cash portion from mining. Once again unless you're into stats, nothing much of interest.

3) Channels

If you are on desktop this shows bellow the about section on the right of your screen. If you are on a phone it shows above the create post part.

4) Live chat

On Desktop you can find the live chat bellow the about section. On phones you can find it by clicking on the little bubble I circled.

This is a live chat that helps chatting with everyone. It is very rarely used so maybe it need pointing out that it actually exists.

I hope this helped you understand a little more about the nice functions of BBS and that it helps you in turn get more engagement and quality of life as well as ease of use.
