2Leaving quickly
This button blanks the page at once, clears everything this site kept in your browser, and swaps the site for a weather page in your history, so pressing Back once does not bring this page back. On any page you can also press Shift three times, or use the button at the foot.
Pages of this site you opened earlier can still be in your browser’s history. A private or incognito window keeps no history once it is closed, which may suit you better if someone else uses your phone or computer. You can also delete your history in your browser’s settings.
3If a post upset you
Use Report under the post and choose why. Reports from three people hide a post while it is checked. A report about a child’s safety or intimate images hides it straight away.
You can also step away. The board will still be here.
