Topic: Pools and chapters.

Posted under General

This topic has been locked.

Hello!
I've tried using the wiki to know how to create and manage pools, but it doesn't mention stuff like; How to delete a pool, create chapters and move certain pictures in the timeline (lets say page 30 of a 100ish comic wasn't posted so now you need to alter the placement of the pages for it to be correct)

The current wiki(as far as i know) only talks about; Creating pools, adding pages and removing pages.

Any help about pools would be immensely appreciated and I apologise in advance if I had missed the wiki pages for these features.

How to delete a pool

You can't. Only admins can delete pools, so you have to message one of them if you want a pool deleted.

Pools don't formally support chapters. Some comics post each chapter in a separate pool and put links in the description of each pool to all of the other pools.

The "Order" link in the top bar is what you're looking for. Although for minor reordering I usually find it simpler to edit the list of post numbers directly, from the "Edit" link.

I'm trying to add chapters to a series I'm making and while I understand e6 doesn't formally support chapters I'm wondering how I can format things like this: https://e621.net/pools/18112

press the "edit" link on the top of the pool page and take notes on how it's formatted. in the pool that you linked they did this:

* "Part 2":/pools/19821

you can look up more cool text formatting tricks by looking up the site's dtext wiki article
