Read the pool help first.

Other notes

  • Please only create public pools that collect artbooks or a doujinshi together. The preferred order for naming a pool is "artist (circle) - name of artbook" or "copyright - name". Only use the artbook name without any other descriptions if there are many artists. For periodicals such as Megami Magazine or Dengeki-hime, use the format "magazine vol.# yyyy-mm".
  • When uploading, using the edit tag mode or the tag script, you can also import a post into a pool using @pool:number@ (ex @pool:123@), or @pool:number:sequence@ (ex @pool:123:0@). The sequence should be an integer. You can edit the order manually by clicking the "Order" link at the bottom of any pool page. Remove a post from the pool by entering @-pool:number@ in the edit box.
  • If a pool contains a post with a parent, the parent will be displayed when viewing the pool page, unless the parent is also in the pool. Click "View Originals" at the bottom of a pool page to see the child posts.
  • When searching for a pool in the pool listing , search only using lowercase letters. You can also search by entering @pool:number@ in the normal search box. Unlike the normal listing, which orders by date, the searching for a pool returns the images in the pool's order. If you want to do a tag search and find the posts that are not already in a pool, you can search @-pool:number@.
  • To make a quick link to a pool in the comments or forum, type "pool #number" (ex pool #530 ).
  • When all of the pages in a collection have been imported into a pool, uncheck the active box in a pool's settings so that it no longer appears in the drop down list.
  • See forum #2182 for how to download an entire pool at the same time.
  • Please note that all posts in a pool will be shown in the pool page, regardless of the fact that some of them may contain posts that would normally be blacklisted for you, so be careful what you click on.
