The header of the board still points to the support thread part 2. Just thought I'd tell you.

Here's a simple one, can you add boards? Is it done through the config file or the Management Panel? Thanks.

You copy your Kareha directory somewhere else. There's no option of sub-forums or anything like that. You can only have different instances of Kareha in different folders.

Why are there secret options in the first place? Wouldn't it be easier to release them and be done with it instead of being secretive?

>>5
What secret options are you talking about? If you're referring to the SecretFeatures page on the documentation wiki, that's just undocumented features which are included.

>>6
Exactly those. Why not document them?

>>7

Because they are jokes and not meant to be used.

>>8
If we have "useless" functions like that, why not go for stupid things like stickies too?

>>9
because the joke features are amusing, while stickies just turn boards into shit.

i turned on function stops Wakaba from renaming image files, but the cyrillic characters look really weird, like укр.jpg.
Can you help me make wakaba show cyrillic names correctly?

Check your server's configuration. The files have to be served as UTF-8, and that is outside of Wakaba's realm. Specifically, the Content-Type header needs to have a charset=utf-8.

--------------------------------

I added line <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> to futaba_style.pl but nothing changed. Am I doing smthing wrong?

use utf-8 in the file names.
