Every post on Boogir opens on its own page. At the top you see the author, when the post was published and how long it takes to read. Below the post you find a row of buttons for voting, commenting, sharing and saving.

You can read posts without an account. To vote, save, comment or use the ⋯ menu, you need to sign in first. If you are not signed in, Boogir asks you to log in when you use one of these buttons.

The buttons below a post

  • Upvote and Downvote — the up and down arrows. The number between them is the post's score: upvotes minus downvotes. Use an arrow again to take your vote back, or use the other arrow to change it.
  • Comment — jumps to the comments under the post. When a post has comments, the button shows how many.
  • Share — opens the share options.
  • Save — the bookmark icon. It turns colored and Boogir shows Saved post. Use it again to remove the post from your Bookmarks.

Above the buttons you also see how many views and comments the post has. The same bookmark icon and a ⋯ menu also sit to the right of the author's name at the top of the post.

The ⋯ menu

  • Share — the same as the Share button.
  • Send in message — opens your messages so you can send the post into one of your chats. Choose the chat, and the post is shared there as a card.
  • Report — tell Boogir the post breaks the rules. Pick a reason under Why are you reporting this?, add details if you like under Tell us a bit more, then choose Submit report.
  • Copy ID — copies the post's ID. You need a post ID, for example, when you add a post to a module by its ID.
  • Update — only shown on your own posts. It opens the post in the editor.
