Pools
A pool is an ordered collection of posts: a series (a comic, a set of pages meant to be read in order) or a collection (posts that belong together). Find them under Pools in the menu.
Making and changing pools
Anyone with Create and edit pools (members, by default) can start a pool with New pool and change any pool’s name, kind, description and posts. The posts are a list of post numbers in order; on the edit page you can also drag the thumbnails into order. To add one post, open it and use Add to a pool beside it, which puts it at the end.
Every change is kept: History shows who added, removed or reordered
posts, and any version can be restored. If someone else saves the pool
while you’re editing it, you’re told instead of overwriting their
change. Staff who can delete posts can also delete and restore pools.
Recent changes on the pool list (/pool_versions) shows the changes
to every pool, newest first, and can be filtered by user.
Reading
A post in a pool shows a bar above the image with the pool’s name, the
post’s place in it, and links to the first, previous, next and last
post. Posts opened from a pool’s page step through the pool with the
a and d keys (or the arrow keys).
Series have a reader: Read on the pool’s page shows the posts one
after another, 20 at a time, and One page at a time shows a single
page, with a and d to turn it (clicking the image turns it too).
Your browser remembers the last page you read, and the pool’s page
offers to continue from there.
