A Tour of Fnora
A quick tour of Fnora's features.
Conversations You Can Keep Up With

Fnora has a very powerful commenting system.
- Comments can have all the formatting features of posts
- You can see all of the comments on a post without having to go clickety clickey clickety to the point where your finger joints get sore.
- Comments flow forward in time, just like a real world conversation.
- Replies are linked through hyperlinks. Hover over a reply link, and you can see the reply in a popup without losing your current place.
Rather than go into deep detail on how comments work, I'll turn over the floor to some artificial characters, who will perform an artificial conversation for your demonstration pleasure.
Scroll down below and see the commenting system in action. Notice how replies are linked.
Keeping up with Commenters
A major advantage of having time-ordered comments is that you as post author need get but one message from many comments. For example the last two comments resulted in this message on my dashboard:
Had there been 20 comments, the 2 would have become a 20. The Read button above would take me to the first of the unread comments, and I could see all the new comments lined up in a column below simply by scrolling.

That's my tom, Kenny. I named him after Kenny Rogers. Here's what he looked like as a kitten:
And here's his mother:
And here's some pictures of my other cats:

Wow! Are you related to Thomas Love Peacock?!

Yeah, he's my great uncle or somethin. I think he was some old literary guy from the 18th century. I'm not interested in all that literary junk by stupid old british guys. My real name is Georgianna Love Peacock, but my friends call me Gorgianna Luv so that's what I called myself on here. It sounds less out-dated. This sight doesn't do my picture justice. I'm actually gorgeous.
Let's see if it looks better here

That's a little better. Still washes me out.

You should be ashamed of yourself! Have you ever read Thomas Love Peacock? His books are wonderful. I enjoyed Crotchet Castle, Nightmare Abbey, Headlong Hall, Maid Marian, and The Misfortunes of Elphin. I recommend them to everyone. Literature is a beautiful thing, but it has been misrepresented...literally 😉.

Oh, and I did not intend verbacide! I just meant that literature was misrepresented by being represented by Moby Dick and Little Women.

Thank you, Adela Diana Wu-wang. I need all the peace and good joy I can get. I just buried a murderer last night. His hand fell on my neck and I am sure I felt it sort of squeeze me. Thankfully I got it loose and it fell limp again as though I had just been dreaming. He is good and buried now. Sorry for his family. They could afford a headstone.

I'd like to sign up for your counseling. Can you teach me how to grin without looking awful? Grinning doesn't suit my face.
